I read a quote when I was younger that has stuck with me through the years that said something to the effect of, “many people think they need to strive for happiness in life but the real goal should be to stay interested in life.” I strongly believe that and every day I document I aim to stay interested in the little moments, like the light freckling through the trees, nose scrunches from real smiles, the purple/pink hue of mountains at dusk, the way each couple has their own story and energy… the list goes on. We’re all here for a reason and all different in so many ways. Every person should be seen and documented for who they are because moments, people, and connections can't be replicated. Life moves so fast and I'm here to slow it down by providing images that allow you to rewind to those exact moments and feelings. To give you photographs you didn't even know you wanted. That way you can look back in 20 years and have timeless photographs that have illustrated your wildly imperfect-perfect life and relationships, mood, and the art of your love and being. I promise to stay interested and to not stop looking for the details, moments, and connections that make your love and life it’s own.
Why?
Growing up my family members all were photographers in one sense or another. Whether it was holidays, running around my family’s yard, or the living room spending time together there was often a camera around. It was natural. There was no stop, pose, or rearrange instance. The camera was a piece of every room, like furniture that just fit. It captured whatever was around it, including the energy, the love, and the presence of each person existing in a space that can’t be replicated. As I got older and I experienced the loss of my dad, I viewed the photographs that held his story in a whole new closer and deeper way. They are photographs that allow me to feel him and who he was, hear his voice, and feel his big, burly-ness holding me today.
