One of the beautiful things about parenthood is that it is one wild, constantly shifting ride. Our children are forever growing and changing, and so do their interests, habits and mannerisms. It is the details of each age that I want to capture and remember. The way my daughter’s eyelashes used to curl and cast long shadows down her cheek while she napped. The way my sons’ messy curls caught the light as he bent down to examine a rock.

When I photograph children I look for the mischievous smiles; the wild twirling; the shy glances; the quiet moments—the silly, unpredictable, inquisitive, temperamental and uncensored them from babyhood all the way to the teenage years, when the world is at their fingertips and you begin to truly glimpse who they will become.

Each session is carefully customized so that I can get to know and capture them in their element, where they can feel free to just be.
