When I look at these photos I see love and connection. I see a family on this journey together opening a piece of their heart to let everyone in. I see support and belonging. Families are a pretty special set up and it’s my honor to document them.

Oh Iceland. I can’t get over your stunning everything. We had the most fabulous family trip and it will forever remain on my heart. This is our first few days and Part 1 of 4. (See Part 2 here!) Skogafoss was stunning, especially since we got to be there when the sun was shining and see the double rainbow. But my absolute favorite was hiking around after climbing more than 400 steps to get to the top. It was a hidden treasure we didn’t see coming. The views were breath taking. The greens unreal. The sunshine delightful. And let’s not forget about their awesome horses here! Just look at their beautiful mains and how stocky they are. You have to be legit to survive in Iceland!
***VOLUME ON!***
As my kids have grown and I look back on the photos from their younger years, I love to engulf myself in a big dose of nostalgia. Minus that crazy hard baby phase. I know time passes quickly. I know kids grown and change all the time. If it weren’t for photos and video’s I would possibly cry myself to sleep every night. I am in love with being able to capture the now so that today can be enjoyed tomorrow. When I look through these photos of a mother with her two little ones I can’t help but look into the future and see them looking back on the time that they chilled at the pond in their neighborhood, made pancakes together, and read a pirate book in silly voices. I imagine them pointing out the style of the time; what’s changed and what’s cool now. I think of them pointing at something around the house, perhaps a saying that is hung, and telling about how they remember it and read it over and over when sitting in the room staring into space. This is what I love about photography. It’s all bundled up right here never to be forgotten.
