My goal with every session is to capture the beauty and wonder in life. I’m waiting for mom to forget about the kids’ hair and sink back into the moment or for dad to break his “smolder” and really smile. I’m watching for the breathlessness of newlyweds rushing up the aisle and into their future or the look of pure love on big sister’s face when she holds “her” baby for the first time. I want to capture the intimate glance exchanged by a couple in love and the sweet glow that radiates from expectant parents. My hope is that every client can look at the moments I've captured and cherish them for generations to come.
