Hi, come in. This is where I share the full stories behind the sessions, and if you read enough of them, you'll start to notice something: a lot of the same names keep showing up.

After fifteen years of this work, my favorite thing is that I rarely get to say goodbye to anyone. I just get to see them again in a new chapter. These are those chapters.

Troy and Elise brought their whole world to this session: his son, her sweet black dog dressed in a pink flower collar, and a belly full of baby girl. We strolled, we laughed, we lined up four tiny pink Converse in the grass between two pairs of grown-up shoes, and I photographed a family on the edge of something wonderful.
