"And at the end of the day, your feet should be dirty, your hair messy, and your eyes sparking."

This has become one of my new mottos, not only for my daily life, but for your photography session with me as well. You see, my goal is not to photograph your family just right, but instead, honestly and beautifully.

So I'm here today not to tell you all about what I do, who I am, or what your session will be like with me. I'm here because I need you. I need you because you are my inspiration, you are what makes my eyes sparkle. There isn't a session I don't leave that my feet aren't dirty and my hair isn't a mess on the top of my head. Because I live for that every detail and don't want to miss one second of your family's magic.

With that being said, during your session I'll ask you to join me. To leave all of your worries behind, to stop fixating on those wrinkles you couldn't get ironed out of your husband's shirt, to run along the path barefoot, to dance like no one is there, to braid back your daughter's curls, to break ties with the word 'cheese' and forcing everyones smiles. I ask you to join me in documenting your family just as you are. I need your family's magic.

Together we will will focus on who you are, your favorite things to do, documenting the most meaningful parts of your family. I’ll photograph each second, capturing those detailed images, the in-between, the fun, the silent moments.

So this is your opportunity to make life stand still. To not only see or hold these moments in your hands forever, but to feel and remember who you are now, and how the love you have for your husband and little ones is so overpowering you can't help but come to tears.

I promise, you won't regret a second. Let's create some magic together.
