I’ve gone through many seasons in my career and have landed on one that feels like home. I know we can probably relate – our lives rarely look polished. Our homes are loud, sometimes downright chaotic and wild– so why not lean into the wild when documenting family photos? There’s a time and place for the beautifully posed family portrait. I’m here to offer another alternative – something that will make you laugh with tears in your eyes when you pull the prints out of an old box years down the road. The pouty faces, the running, the loud. We often wish for the noise to go away (I know I sometimes do), but one day, it’ll be quiet – and we’ll wish we had that noise back.
