Memories Tenderly Held
Stories from behind my lens.
Here, you'll find stories behind the lens - glimpses into the wild, beautiful moments I'm privileged to witness through my work. This is where I share the magic that unfolds when families embrace their authentic selves, whether we're wandering sun-drenched coastlines or finding poetry in the quiet corners of home.
Each post is a love letter to the families who trust me with their most precious memories, and an invitation for you to see the extraordinary in your own ordinary moments. You'll discover behind-the-scenes stories from sessions, gentle guidance on preparing for your family adventure with me, and reflections on the art of capturing life as it truly unfolds.
Because just as each tiny sparrow has a story worth telling, so does every moment of your family's beautiful, imperfect journey.
Welcome to a space where memories are tenderly held, and stories are waiting to be shared.
