It's in those big laughs you feel all the way into your belly, sure. But it's also hiding in the moments when your toddler refuses to do anything without their lovey. Or when your daughter is deep into her awkward-as-heck Chandler Bing-smile phase.
The joy comes from being real. From never feeling like you have to pose or pretend in your photos, and instead simply doing your thing while I capture what you actually adore about your family.
Joy can be mundane. It can be silly. It can be anything, as long as it feels true to you.
It's 2020, I'm a new mom, and my creative spirit is spent. But taking pictures of my sweet, red-headed baby girl filled me up in a way nothing else really had. Those photos weren't posed. They weren't perfect. They were something much better — they were her.
All the little faces she made, the tiny milestones that marked each month. A visual diary of our life together that meant everything to me.
That's when I understood that my job wasn't just to take the photos. It was to make sure they ended up somewhere they could actually be seen.

The love and the chaos. It’s emotional for me to see our family all together. As a mom, I feel like I’m in no photos. So to see the whole family in a shot, it feels authentic.
Candles, bubble baths, 5 p.m. dinners, homemade sourdough — I'm essentially a grandmother stuck in a thirty-something's body.
