After 42 years, Shelly Holt Allen, WCAX-TV’s Assistant Chief Photographer, is retiring.

Working tirelessly through endless odd hours, Shelly has photographed every part of Vermont and documented every significant part of Vermont’s history over the last 40 years. Always exhibiting the utmost journalistic integrity, Shelly is a pioneer in a profession dominated by men, even shooting while pregnant, which is impressive considering how physically demanding carrying all that gear can be! Shelly continues to be a positive role model, mentoring countless young photographers and reporters and was inducted into the VAB Hall of Fame in 2021.
