"My boys are wild, as all boys are, and these pictures have captured who they really are. Nothing posed just big belly laughs, wrestle matches, smiles, no shirt, no shoes, messy hair, throwing leaves and making each other laugh. They will grow up but this is who they really are and who they will always be to me."
- Kate
Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is the way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.
William Martin
Childhood Sessions
My heart behind these sessions is to capture your children in an artful and intimate way — exploring the moments and details that highlight the ever-fleeting innocence and wonder of childhood. I am after hair that’s not perfectly brushed, deep belly laughs and the soulful gaze of their eyes that are gone in an instant if you don’t catch it. My goal is to leave you with timeless images you will cherish for years that also tell a story about the season of life they’re currently in.
