Lately, I’ve been thinking about what it means to be a photographer. 🤍 Documenting our existence has always been the mission.

I was recently reminded that the images we treasure most aren’t always the perfectly posed ones.

They’re the in-between moments. The couch cuddles. The bedtime rituals. The ordinary days that become EVERYTHING.💫💖

Those are the feelings I want to preserve.

So, I’ve been dreaming up a new world of my own: House of Memories.

And the first chapter is almost ready

40 women over 40. 40 stories. One beautiful community all coming together for Generations of Grace. 🤎

Marie has a gift for bringing people together and creating spaces where women feel celebrated. For this group show, each woman was photographed and invited to share a little about her experiences.

I had the honor of creating some of their portraits and capturing a little of the magic behind the scenes.

Celebrating women, their stories, and the beauty of being seen. ✨
Thank toy Marie, for your magic. And for seeing me. 🤗

Every family is growing something. 💫

A garden.🌱
A baby.🐯
A friendship.🧑🏾‍🐰‍🧑🏽
A childhood.🩵💕
A home.🏡
A life together.🫶🏽

And eventually, we gather what we’ve grown.

The Garden, coming soon.

Stuck somewhere between the millennial urge to become an influencer and the urge to delete all my socials… 🤷🏽‍♀️

Some memories feel like they’re waiting for you to make. 🤍✨

Last time I photographed these two on their dock, they were holding a tiny glimpse of the little person who would change everything. 🐯💜

This weekend, I get to return to the same dock — this time with the full family. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒✨
