I think becoming a mother changed the way I see everything. The ordinary became something worth holding onto. Messy mornings, little hands, belly laughs, and the way they still reach for you without thinking.

That's what eventually brought me here, camera in hand, drawn to the pieces of life that are so easy to overlook while you're living them. I photograph families the way I want to remember my own: honest, a little imperfect and full of feeling.

As a mother, we are often the ones behind the camera, documenting everyone else while quietly disappearing from the memories. I want you there too. Not just smiling at the camera, but loving them, holding them, laughing with them. Proof that you were right there in the middle of it all.
