A stolen moment. The kind that almost feels too sacred to capture. I like to step back, to observe. Us knowing each other first gives me the ability to better anticipate these moments, to wait, and allows you to be comfortable with me waiting in the distance with the camera to my face.

Julie first contacted me about a family session when her daughter, Lani, was just about a year old. Over the past year and a half, Julie and I have grown a friendship and connected over many things we have in common. I’ve had the privilege of watching their family grow and being there for all the big and small moments. After a few sessions outdoors, we decided on an in-home, lifestyle session for their newborn shoot and it was perfect.
