full discloser: These are not models

These are people who wanted their stories to be told. Their lives are busy with work schedules, loads of laundry to do, sport games to make, and bed times to conquer

But are all in a season they wanted their beautiful messy lives to be captured

Your story

Let me capture your moments. The moments when we take a step back and realize this is what we have asked for all those years ago

A relationship with a partner who gives you all the feels
The baby we prayed for
The kids who run around our homes with sticky hands; polkadots on top + strips on the bottom
The teenager who will soon leave and see the world for themselves

Your life is truly beautiful and sometimes it takes an outside perspective to remind of just that

can you trust me

I ask when we book a session together you trust me; like 100% trust. Take our time together to let things unfold

Let your partner hold you from behind like they do at the kitchen sink and let me capture the true innocence of your children; they see a beautiful world

I am not asking for the perfect pose or perfect smiles. I want to capture those baby curls, the way they run from you like its a game, the arms that hold you tight, and all the other reasons you love so hard day after day
