So my mom has this company, Col d’ Lizard (pronounced in some fancy French way… but I just call it Cold Lizard). It’s an outdoor apparel company…things for biking, hiking, and all that other outdoorsy stuff. Instead of “Made in China” it is made in my garage, well barn rather….. she makes all the stuff herself back home in Vermont.  If you click on the link above… her site obviously needs some work. So I agreed to come out to Vermont and do a shoot for her and help redesign her whole website. It doesn’t fit the Rad Collector vibe at all, but I just thought I would share some photos from the shoot with you. Check out some of the shots after the jump.

  12. Larry Dunn:

    Great lifestyle photos of great products. It is about time that Vermont made goods get some attention they so rightfully deserve.

    Products are very well made and reasonably priced. Excellent values.

  13. Awesome shoot Laura. Because I am me, I like the FJ-60 Land Cruiser in the background the best.

  14. Stacy Sdanowich:

    Laura, it’s Max’s mom Stacy. What wonderful pictures, you definitely have talent. You must get your creativity from your Mom. It’s great to see where your Mom works. She has written about her work space and the view, now I get to see it for myself. I remember when we used to help her complete a job in the garage in Lakewood and the basement in Green Mountain. Seems like such a long time ago. Miss you all.

  15. Barbara Bauman:

    Laura,
    I think the photos and the story behind them is incredible. I think back when we were kids and your mom was always so special to me. I too am glad to see the workplace. The family is very proud…of you both. Keep on truckin’. you do a fantastic job. Love to you.
