Even when we try to ‘just be ourselves’, life can feel performative. Especially in front of a camera. My goal is to photograph the vulnerability that reflects who you are once the front door closes, or when the big day quiets down.

Whether I’m photographing your everyday family life, the wildness of a birth, or the chaotic beauty of a wedding day, my job as a documentary photographer is to pull the real-ness out of it.

When it comes to a family session, I encourage you to choose a setting that feels most like you. It might be the comfort of your home or the park you always bring your kids. We’ll collaborate to create a photo session that reflects your family's core values. 

I know having a photographer present during vulnerable and emotional experiences, or long stretches of time (such as labor) can feel overwhelming. But that time allows trust to build and real moments to be photographed. That’s what leads to the images you're hoping for. And I promise you, the camera really does become less invasive with time.

The 'success' of our time together doesn’t depend on your day going as planned. It comes from staying true to yourself and the people you love. My job is to witness that and reflect it back to you, in a way that prioritizes dignity, comfort, and trust. 

No home is too messy. No family is too ordinary. Your story is enough.
