WHY I BECAME A DOCUMENTARY-STYLE PHOTOGRAPHER
I kept asking myself the same question.
What if the ordinary was worth documenting?
Not just birthdays and holidays.
Just Tuesday afternoon.
Could I make the mundane feel beautiful?
Could a photograph bring me back to the feeling of this season of motherhood?
I became this kind of photographer because I was afraid I'd forget. Not what my children looked like. But the way they reached for my hand. The toys they couldn't leave home without. The mismatched clothes they loved. The sloppy kisses. The sound of their laughter (and tears) filling our house.
I wanted photographs that could take me back to the feeling of being their mom. Because someday, I knew that would matter more than a perfectly posed portrait.
That's what I've been chasing with my camera ever since.
