Why I Photograph Families (Even Before Having My Own)

But I do have a little sister, and moments with her that I wish I could freeze in time.

I have grandmothers who somehow become younger when they look through old albums, their eyes lighting up as they tell stories about my childhood.

And I have only one or two printed photos of myself as a little girl with my mom. Just one or two.

That’s heartbreakingly few.

If I could, I’d give anything to hold more of those images in my hands today.

This is why I photograph families. Not because I have one of my own yet, but because I know how precious these moments are — and how quickly they slip away.

Because one day, your child will want to see how you looked when you held them close.

Because these photos will become treasures — not just for you, but for them.

Every session I shoot, I imagine someone opening these photos years from now. Laughing. Crying. Feeling loved.

That’s the magic I want to help create for you.
