I like the real, real.
The messy parts of life.
The ordinary days.
The way things actually are.
But I also like things that capture the feeling of grace and beauty.
And is nothing that embodies this more than photographing a family.
Prior to my work as a photographer, I was an Occupational Therapist working in a clinical setting with both kids and adults. This means there isn't really much your kids can do that's going to surprise me! During your session I will provide prompts to keep your kids engaged so you can freeze the magic that is the messy, beautiful work of being a mother.
