Why documentary photography
Real moments. Real magic.
Vacations are a lot of work. You dream, you save, you plan, and then you get here and feel overwhelmed because you’ve invested so much into this trip with your family and you want it to be practically perfect in every way.
But it’s hard. Because things rarely go according to plan. The kids are tired, wait times and crowds are insane, the heat makes you feel like your face is melting off, and there’s no way to see and do it all despite how hard you try. You know what though?! It is still pure magic. Because amidst the chaos, the anticipation, love, joy and wonder always shine through. I promise. And I am here to bottle it up for you.
There’s really nothing more to it than this. I’ll join you for some fun, we’ll chat like old friends and debate whether dole whips or Mickey premium bars take top billing. I’ll be a ride buddy for your eldest, hold hands with your youngest and give high fives and hugs freely. And while we’re having fun, I’ll just so happen to capture you living your best day ever. From the looks of joy and wonder in your son’s eyes when he meets Donald Duck, to your daughter’s arms outstretched in exhilaration and bravery as she conquers Big Thunder Mountain. I’ll even capture the quiet moments you don’t see coming, because those are the ones that will have your heart skipping a beat in the years to come.
why ME
Memories are a feeling.
I will always hold that the true magic of a vacation lies in the people we spend it with, and not the place itself. Uninterrupted time together is a luxury. It is fleeting, and before we know it the moments themselves are gone and all we are left with are the memories.
Each and every one of us deserves the opportunity to time travel through these years that are passing so swiftly before our very eyes, to pull the memories down off the shelf and get lost in the feel of them. There’s beauty, chaos, sadness and joy in our memories. And when we document the feel of a moment, the real of a moment... it’s magical. Because it can transport us right back to that time and place.
Those are the moments I will capture for you, the kind you’ll want to pull down off the shelf for years to come, to relive time and time again. Because they matter. Because we matter. Documenting my family’s vacations is my passion. Documenting yours is my dream.
Why you
Because you matter.
I shoot for mothers who pour everything into their families. Mothers who work hard and provide magic on the daily. Mothers who don’t often get to see their true selves reflected back to them in a photograph with their children. Mothers who want to preserve a lifetime of memories for the families they love.
My goal with every session is to show you the magic that you have created for your family. Yes. You. You are the reason there’s joy and wonder in their eyes. Your hard work created these moments and you deserve to see this and to see yourself in the memories with them.
