Capturing the candid shots you’ll cherish

I always loved this one old photo of my dad holding me in a bassinet and looking down at me. 

For years, I couldn’t put my finger on why I treasured that picture in particular. I mean, we weren’t even smiling and looking at the camera. 

But now, it all makes sense. 

That image—the way my father looked at me adoringly—was love.

I could look at it and feel his new-dad pride, his amazement, and how much he cared for me. That one photograph tells an entire story. One that was more real than any "say cheese" moment could have hoped to tell. And when I show it to my three children, they get to know a little more about the papa they never had the chance to meet. 

It's why I've never been a "look here, now smile" photographer. The stiff posed shots are the ones that make your heart swell. But the one of you holding your toddler's hand as you twirl her in the backyard. That's going to take you right back to moment, no matter how many years pass. 

When you invite me into your family's beautiful chaos, we'll do more than capture memories, we'll make some. Whether you want to run through the sprinkler, head to your weekly fun spot, or let your toddler explore in your favorite park. Let's elevate those ordinary moments into artful images that fill your heart with gratitude for this family you're raising.
