a Day in the Life. Your family; unscripted.

Twelve years ago, when I was just starting out as a photographer, the images that captured my heart were always the little things; the unscripted moments where things weren’t exactly perfect, but they were totally real. I loved the details, the chubby knees, the messy smiles.

Recently, I started this personal project I called Project Life. I endevoured to capture those real, those messy, in-between moments of my own family.

It wasn’t the first time I attempted a project of that type, but it was the first time I really dug deep and found my “voice” as I told the story of our year. Those photos have reminded me of what I love about photography. How capturing life, as is, is what I love to do best. These sessions are so fun and so special. Take a peek at one we did this summer of two sweet sisters just playing at home, frosting their cake, “loving” babies, twirling like a ballerina . . .

Contact us to find out how to have your family’s moments captured in a Day in the Life session today (just a few offered each year). They won’t be this little (or even half-grown) for long. Trust me I know these things! More Info.

I’m bored. I think I’ll make beef jerky!

On facebook I created a hashtag #crapisaiahdoes because, well, Isaiah. He NEVER stops doing stuff. He is in constant motion. Yesterday he started working on a Radio Flyer wagon that he plans to add a motor to (the salvaged motor from a broken weedwhacker). Today he decides to whip up a batch of homemade beef jerky. Naturally. Oh, I don’t think the health department would approve of his shirtlessness, but fear not, he has no chest hair. lol
