There’s something deeply humbling about being chosen to photograph a family.

Out of all the talented photographers you could pick, you’ve invited me to step into your real, everyday life—to witness the way your toddler wraps their arms around your leg, how your teenager lights up when no one’s watching, the way you and your spouse still glance at each other with soft familiarity. That’s not something I take lightly.

Being chosen means you trust me to see you. Not just to pose you. Not just to snap a pretty picture. But to see the fleeting magic of your right-now season—and tell that story through my lens with care, curiosity, and reverence.

It means you believe that your family’s love is worthy of remembering, just as it is. Not “once the kids behave,” or “after we lose the baby weight,” or “once life slows down.” But now. And I agree with you. These everyday moments are the good old days.

I don’t come to sessions looking for perfection. I come looking for connection. For the quiet in-between moments that most people miss—and the big belly laughs that erupt when everyone finally relaxes. My job isn’t to create something artificial. It’s to reflect back the love that already lives here.

So when you choose me, I feel the weight and wonder of that choice. And I show up with my full heart—because your story matters.

You don’t need a picture-perfect version of your family.

You need this version—the real one. The one they’ll grow up remembering.

Thank you for choosing me. It’s my honor to help you see the beauty you’re already living.
