Why photography? For me, it's pretty simple. Deep, but simple. I never feel like we have enough time. Where does it all go and how does it fly by so stinking fast? There is so much that we have to get done. I know I can't be the only person that could use like 5 clones of myself to manage it all. In the midst of all of the stuff we have to do, sometimes it's so hard to slow down and MAKE time for the most important thing of all. Our families. Documenting my children is my way of preserving this ever so special time that I feel like I don't get enough of. The way my daughter lights up when she's playing pretend and telling you a story, or that little mischievous grin my son gives when he's pretending to be a dinosaur. I guess I'm a bit sentimental because there are so many moments from my daughter being a baby that I wish I would have documented better. Moments that I will never ever get back. Moments that you don't realize how deeply you'll miss until they are too big to do those cute little things and dinosaurs aren't cool anymore. Moments that are already a bit blurry in my memory. How does that happen? You think there is no way you'll ever forget some of the sweet little things they do and then life happens and they just get a bit hazy. The days are zooming by at unimaginable speeds, so I want to do anything that I can to hold onto these memories forever, and help you do the same.
Would you believe me if I said I was the most awkward person on the planet? It's true, I totally am! I also completely understand that kids are their own little people with their own big personalities. I think sometimes it's easy to forget that, and everything becomes so rushed. It won't be like that here. I love building a connection with your family and being able to capture you as you are. I like to take our time and have fun. I know what type of images that I would want captured of my family and that is what I want to do for you. I don't want stiff awkward forced smiles from my children. I want giggles, snuggles, even little pouty faces or tears when the bubble pops. Those are the ones we'll look back on in 20+ years and feel something from.
