We love grapefruit. We also love the pixie dust that flies around as sun beams stream in through the windows.

Self portrait of motherhood. Seldom does a day go by without babywearing. This day required tying the baby to me before I even took off my robe.

When i was little, i wasn't allowed to draw on my body. So, I kind of encourage it now...it's better than the walls, right?

Dehydrated lime slices are like tiny stained glass windows. But don't put them in your tea. they taste terrible.

Usually, we share sleep. but sometimes you sleep in your awesome Ikea kura bed. typically when that happens, your much-bigger-than-your-little-bed dad falls asleep in it with you. He loves you more than words.

wake up. check up on the world.

You are not yet taller than the freezer. I know, though, that i'll blink and you will be. This is why documentary photography has such a big place in my heart.

We were going to bed and you said you had to go to the bathroom. After a few minutes, you still hadn't returned, so I went to find you. It seems you've inherited your father's ingenuity and your mother's constant hunger.

family photos: documentary, photojournalism, storytelling

Family photos can sometimes be stressful. Especially if you have children, especially if you are all trying to stay still and smile and have everyone look in the same direction at the same time. But there's an alternative to the traditional family portraits -- family documentary sessions. Remove the stress of perfection. Embrace the wild-beautiful that is your gorgeous life. I come over and give you all the permission to let loose and just have fun with your family. And, then, I capture the moments that unfold around us. Real. Fleeting. Here is a glimpse into a day with this incredible family --  them, both sets of grandparents, and even an uncle.
