When I first started shooting, I was happy to photograph anything. It took a number of years for me to settle into what my passion would be. To find where my skill set and my eye would thrive —in life documentary. Over time I noticed the joy I'd feel after shooting a family for a few hours, or sometimes a whole day. Getting to know each member of their tribe. Seeing what they each enjoy doing, wearing, saying. Where they love going, and how they travel together. Keeping an eye on the little things that can sometimes often go overlooked. I think that's what people appreciate and that's why they hire me and sometimes hire me again. So I can freeze these thought-to-be small but in actuality huge moments—a tear dop on their child's face. A strawberry stain on their shirt. The way they tie their tiny little shoes. Nothing is forever, but this is the closest way to make sure special moments never die and I'm so grateful that I can do that for so many.
