moment-driven family sessions that honor an everyday life
your portal to presence
“Attention Is The Beginning Of Devotion.” ~Mary Oliver
Ours is the invisible work, that which is transient in nature. Wiping messy mouths, changing dirty nappies, listening to our children’s seemingly unending stories, sharing their secrets, chasing away their monsters, kissing their hot tears. Holding space while everything constantly changes while staying exactly the same.
The invisible work that wears us out while leaving us questioning what we accomplished all day. Transformative work that can’t be measured by regular time, instead passing in fits and starts and by how suddenly our baby’s hand dimples melt away.
We are space holders, hand holders, tiny body holders. We begin by carrying them in our wombs. Our toddlers sit on our hips. And, as teenagers and adults, we hold their heads on our shoulders. The weight of their little bodies tethering us to our own humanity.
Moment-driven Family Photography is a chance to transmute what feels invisible into something tangible. To declare to the world that a moment happened, and yes! We were there, too! To honor an everyday life as a life worth living and no less worthy because it doesn’t feel curated for Instagram or Pinterest.
To feel deeply into motherhood. To find the magic in holding our children, playing barefoot in the grass, eating together, laughing, and yes, even crying. To become fully embodied. To know that our work matters and to document it so that it, too, can take up residence with the shiny moments as works of art.
What to Expect
- Authenticity Over Perfection: Whether we’re chasing the golden light in a field, wandering through the forest, or playing barefoot in your backyard, this session is about capturing you. The real, raw, and beautiful.
- Moments, Not Poses: I’ll guide you into moments that feel natural—tickle fights, whispered secrets, and the quiet, soulful stillness of simply being together.
- Your Unique Story: Whether you’re a free spirit, a home-centered dreamer, or a mix of both, this session will reflect the unique energy of your family.
