the essence

WE ARE THE CULTURE OF STORYTELLERS

~

WITHIN EVERY HOME, EVERY FAMILY, EVERY CHILD AND EVERY MOMENT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF STORIES JUST WAITING TO BE TOLD.

I LOVE CREATING STORIES.

HERE ARE A FEW IMPORTANT THINGS THAT EXPRESS MY STYLE.

I PHOTOGRAPH WITH ALL MY IDEOLOGY

~

I BELIEVE THERE IS NO OTHER STORY

AS UNIQUE AS THE STORY OF YOUR FAMILY AND HOME.

FAMILY IS WHAT MAKES HOME A HOME. IT’S WHO WE KISS GOODBYE EVERY MORNING AND JOYFULLY RETURN TO

EACH EVENING. IT’S WHAT ALLOWS US TO

BECOME WHO WE ARE MEANT TO BE.

THE DAYS MAY BE LONG, BUT THE YEARS ARE SHORT.

AS THE MOTHER OF TWO KIDS I CAN ALREADY FEEL HOW QUICKLY TIME IS PASSING; IT MAKES ME WANT TO HOLD ONTO EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TIME IN OUR LIVES. I KNOW SOON ALL I’LL HAVE IS THE MEMORY OF CHUBBY CHEEKS AND TINY PALMS AS MY KIDS GROW INTO ADULTS.

THANKFULLY, MY CAMERA ALLOWS ME TO HOLD ON TO ALL OF THOSE SWEET MOMENTS.

DOCUMENTING MY FAMILY’S DAILY ROUTINE GAVE ME A CHANCE TO PRACTICE AND DEVELOP MY STYLE. I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE THE MOMENTS I FELT WERE COMPELLING AND MEANINGFUL,

DOCUMENTARY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO CREATE A RECORD OF OUR LIVES, AND TELL THE STORY OF HOME. TELL THE STORY FROM ALL OF MY HEART.

SIMPLE THINGS MATTER

~

BEING A STORYTELLER I LOVE DOCUMENTARY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY. I FOCUS ON MOMENTS THAT ARE UNSCRIPTED RATHER THAN PLANNED.

SIMPLE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT TO ME.

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO REMEMBER HOW LITTLE FEETS STOMPS ON THE FLOOR. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO REMEMBER THE MURMURED FACE OF DAUGHTER WHEN SHE WAS JUST LEARNING TO EAT FROM A SPOON.

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO REMEMBER HOW MY CHILDREN LAUGH AND CRY, HOW THEY QUARREL AND HOW THEY MAKE PEACE.

HOW MY SON CLIMBS A TREE, PEELING HIS KNEES.

HOW MY DAUGHTER PLAYS WITH RUSTLING YELLOW LEAVES.
