On the way to this session I listened to Glennon Doyle’s podcast about fun and how many women don’t know how to have fun because they are conditioned early on to care more about how they appear when they are doing a thing than how that thing makes them feel.

In-home Motherhood Session // Grass Valley
Other than mothering my own child, this is the work I am meant to do. I have never been so sure of anything. I am grateful for the time I get to spend time with mamas and their babes, for their vulnerability and trust, and the opportunity to create images that will be cherished for a lifetime.

My favorite part of photographing families is seeing the love grow. The first time I met these guys I knew they were my kind of people. The not afraid to smile with their whole face, know how to make one another laugh, are super present and affectionate with one another—kind of people.

These three couldn't be cuter. I've said it before, but documenting growing families is one of my favorite things. I got to photograph Coco's first birthday party, and now she's a big sister to a healthy baby boy! I love how intimate and relaxed families are in their homes. The photos are honest in a way that is difficult to duplicate on location, and they are rooted in a place that matters. Sending so much love and congratulations to this family of four!

Read Morehenna, aki, mateo + helena // Chicago Family Photographer
Last spring, I flew to Chicago to photograph Naomi and David's engagement and to finally meet (in person) my friend and soul sister, Henna. We met online a few years ago, back when Teo was a toddler. She is one of the most inspiring people I know. You know the kind of people you just get, and they get you? And you stay up way too late talking because you have so much to tell one another? Those friendships are rare and valuable and worth nurturing.
