I am drawn to the quiet moments—the way light moves through a room, the fleeting expressions, the weight of an embrace.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an observer, attuned to the smallest details, the ones that often go unnoticed. I think that’s what photography is for me—a way to honor what’s here, what’s real, what matters.

Since having my daughter in August, I see everything differently. Time feels both achingly slow and impossibly fast. I’ve learned that the smallest things—a sleepy stretch, tiny fingers wrapped around mine, the way she looks at me like I’m her whole world—are the ones I’ll want to remember most. That shift has changed how I approach family sessions. I’m not here for stiff poses or perfection. I want to capture the way you pull your child close, the way they melt into you, the love that exists in the details.

I find meaning in the everyday, in the way hands reach for one another, in laughter that lingers, in the soft space between people. And I love that I get to capture that—to hold a moment still, just for a little while longer.

Thank you for allowing me to witness a piece of your story. It means more than you know.
