My heart is for the mothers. I see so much beauty in the way you pour out love on your babies. All of those unseen moments that your heart cherishes are what I’m after. I’m a big believer that it doesn’t matter what you look like - whether or your hair is done or if you have make-up on - your kids are absolutely infatuated with and adore you. I long for you to see it through my lens.

Since I was a young girl babies and kids have captured my heart, but it wasn’t until I became a mother myself that I really fell in love. I had no idea how much I would pour out to my kids and how I would deeply long for them to know my admiration and awe of them. Motherhood broke me open in ways I never expected. I yearned to capture every detail so that I wouldn’t forget each phase and stage. 

In the time of having little kids, I began to realize I had lost who I was before I was a mom. I was exhausted, overwhelmed and the mundane felt like a heavy blanket. That’s when I began picking up my camera daily to find glimmers of beauty throughout our days and it was through that exercise I began falling in love with our life. It may have been the way the light danced on my daughters hair, the way my son made my daughter laugh, the way they played pretend in superhero costumes, our daily reading time ritual or caring for my daughter during bath time. A passion grew inside me to document our everyday mundane moments - to see the beauty that unfolded in our right-here and right-now. Because it was those moments that made up our real life where the gems were hidden. For the moms now, my heart is to create the art that I wish I had hired someone to capture of me with my own children as I loved on them daily.
