You're getting your gear ready for your next family session and take a quick look at the questionnaire the family filled out. And you take a deep breath… there's a toddler, and mom wrote that they love to run.

I've always been fascinated by childhood—the curiosity, wonder, and authenticity that make kids uniquely themselves. As a teacher, photographer, and mom, I feel incredibly lucky that my work allows me to slow down, pay attention, and celebrate children exactly as they are. That's the heart behind every photograph I create.
