The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. -Audrey Hepburn

Your life is beautiful because it is imperfect. In the age of Instagram and Photoshop(fabulous tools that I do use), I passionately embrace genuine human experience. You are going to show up to your scheduled shoot after rushing around to get everyone dressed and fed, wiping peanut butter off your toddler's face and running back inside to change the baby's diaper one more time so that they won’t cry on the drive. And these are just the little things. You’re too busy at this moment to dwell on the underlying heartbreaks and painful memories that we all carry. 

We are enabled to love more profoundly when our hearts are softened by inevitable suffering, significant or minor. Striving to capture that connection in the middle of the mess is amazing, and I’m there for it. When we’re shooting I want you to feel free to relax and enjoy your people. Whatever else is happening in your life, your daughter will never be 5 again and your husband’s hair will not stay exactly that shade. Slow down and embrace the masterpiece of your primary relationships.
