“Where there is perfection, there is no story to tell.” Ben Okri

The magic is in the imperfections. To me the most beautiful family portraits are the moments that happen organically, when families are focused on each other, rather than the camera. I embrace windswept hair, skinned knees and cuddle piles.

Love has a way of showing up in the details: in moments of exuberant laughter, vulnerability, carefree abandon, sleepy hugs or shared adventure. I am grateful to every family I have photographed for trusting me to immerse myself in their world for a few hours so I can capture their unique story.
