Moms don’t avoid photos because they’re vain.
They avoid them because they’re hard on themselves.

But years from now, the photo you almost skipped
will be the one your kids hold onto the longest.

Not for how you looked.
But for how present you were.

You don’t have to post it.
You don’t have to love it today.
Just… take it anyway.

Save this for the days you don’t feel like being in the picture.

Share this with a mom who needs permission to exist in her memories.

Here are six tiny pieces of me as a photographer… the parts you don’t always see when I’m behind the camera.
I always say documentary photography is less about “taking pictures” and more about paying attention.
Swipe through to see what shapes the way I tell your stories.
And if you recognize a little bit of yourself in them, that’s the magic.

Ever wondered what a documentary photo session with me actually feels like? 👀
Here’s the truth: it’s less about posing… and more about being you.

Always thankful for having friends that literally drag me to @crossfitintent classes. Especially if I have missed more than two days. And then cheer the hell out of you for showing up!

A fun time was had at Akron marathon by Blister sisters:)
This rag tag of a team shaved 19 minutes off of last years time! Meeting so many friends at the race is always exciting!

Ten years back I would’ve been aghast at the first picture. I mean it is so imperfect and out of focus. But as the years have passed and I have grown as an artist, I have started to appreciate the moment more than the perfect frame.
I will always be honored that I get to document stories of families. I have a super cool job:)

Turning 40 and how:). Blessed to have a body that can do a hard things. I truly look forward to growing older every year. And thankful to have friends that will not let me do crazy things alone!
@nrocks_wv was such an epic adventure. A roadtrip, lots of games and girl time and literal rolling on the floor laughter moments. This was the best birthday ever. Thank you to each and everyone who overcame significant fear and attempted this adventure. I’m truly looking at you @julesmariee, @meghapranjalsharma and @rihamalabed. Thank you @gayatrinew_ and @karalaps for taking the reins in and spreadsheeting. Thank you to @colleenhruska for making sure I climbed the top and singing the best birthday song ever. To @heather.skaggs @drmanishadeepak for the Monikers laughter. I truly missed you @jahayramm @esunrisewest and @allisonrocks7
My heart is so full. I truly am lucky to be loved by so many. I am looking forward to a new decade and doing many more adventures with this 40 year old body with a very silly mind:) by @priberry911

Is it just me or is it valid to become a vampire sometimes? I mean all I want to do is go inside a closet all day and sleep. And not talk to anyone. Or see anyone.
I am peopled out from summer. If I don’t speak to anyone for the next whole month or so that would be great.
Anyway, since that is too much to ask right now, here’s a picture of my kids baking all by themselves over summer. I was quite impressed at them searching recipes, and executing them all by themselves. The only thing I helped them was with taking things out of oven. And eating the goods. Ok yeah that was a big help they probably did not ask for. #documentinglifeasithappens by @priberry911

Just a giant photo dump from Glacier national park. It was the perfect way to end summer vacation. Random phone pictures until I edit the big camera ones (in a few years maybe)(because we all know that is not happening soon).
One of my big bucket list hikes was Grinnell glacier. And that has been checkmarked ✅
Extremely thankful to my minions who did this 10 mile hike with me, also to Chirag who has fear of heights yet braved it for me. The views were indescribably gorgeous. by @priberry911

Decided not to let the pictures die on my SD card and actually edit them while I remember all the details of the trip:)
Utah mighty five was an experience in itself with young kids. Thankful to @drmanishadeepak and Deepak and Chirag in rearing the kids safely through 1000-2000 feet drop offs on the cliffs. We did so many things we didn’t even think our kids would do, but so proud that they hiked miles and miles everyday, with so much joy and confidence.
