philosophy

Photography enables me to capture fleeting moments --- growing bellies, the miracle of baby’s first days, dimples in all the best places --- and turn them into beautiful images that endure. My goal is not simply to record a moment in time, but to convey all the emotion – the joy, love, wonder or tenderness – that the moment is about.

As a mother, I know from experience that these moments go by all too quickly, and most of the time, we’re too sleep deprived, over-scheduled, or frazzled to remember them the way we would like. It’s a genuine delight for me to create images that keep those incredible memories vibrant and immediate for years to come.
