Your Story

I would be delighted to photograph your family in your home and surroundings with as little intrusion and direction as possible. The history that you are building as a family is the most beautiful when it is authentically yours, no props or poses necessary. The time is now.

Here’s a little peek behind the scenes to see what it’s like to have me photograph your family.

My Story

I find childhood endlessly fascinating, and I have spent my life exploring my own childhood through various media. I remember being a kid with a pink 110 film camera dangling from my wrist trying to document as much as my parents would allow me to develop. Later on in art school, I created sculptures and paintings based on my childhood memories where there were gaps in the photographic story. After school I became a teacher, and I worked to understand children, their natural development, their motivation, and their curiosities. Now as a mother, I observe and document my own children to make visible the moments I find fascinating and to make memorable images they would otherwise not remember. Photography has been my favorite way to study childhood. It's as close as I can get to making time stand still for long enough to really see it and feel it, both before being whisked away to the next moment and then again long after that moment has already passed.
