When I went to visit Jessica and Peter before their family session they told me a few things that opened my eyes. They loved the time we spent photographing, and the fact that we didn’t rush. Before you arrive at the studio, I’m spending time making it as comfortable as it can be. I’ll often ask you what music your kids love to hear so that I…

It doesn't matter if you're good, bad, or really bad. Don't do it for anyone except for you. Sing off key and dance like nobody's watching. Sing in the car. Sing in the shower. Sing at the top of your lungs. Dance in the living room. Dance at a restaurant. Dance like you've never even heard music before...

One of the most beautiful gifts I have ever been given is the honour of being your home. For nine months, I got to be your home. I got to be the place that you snuggled into and were safe. I got to protect you from all of the elements of life and cover you in every single way. I got to feel you grow…

When I officially found out you were a boy, I already knew. I could tell by the way you moved in my belly just so, sometimes it was almost like you just jumped. In a way I cannot explain, it was like I already knew you. Like I had met you before, maybe in my dreams, maybe in heaven. Like I had already held you…

There’s so much we can learn from children. Kids can be our biggest teachers if we have enough humility just to say yes. As much as we know all that we know through life experience, there are almost some things it would be good to unlearn. There are some things we know, that it would almost be better if…

Before you arrived, we prayed for you. Before we saw you for the first time, we felt we already knew you closely. With every movement of your heart and every breath in your lungs, your life has value.
And it’s so funny because before you, we had everything we needed. Or we thought we did. But…

You know how you have those moments where you suddenly start to think about what life was like as a kid. Maybe something pulls you back into that places like a smell or a song or maybe you see yourself in your own children and you remember…

Collecting Memories. There is this beautiful thing about memories in that we each have our own. That you and I could have very different memories about things that have happened and experiences we have known. Because memories are so filled with emotion…

You know that moment when you look at someone and instantly feel joy? It is almost like you can feel your heart swelling and melting and soaring all at once. You are captivated, you are in love, you are moved. Maybe for you, you’ve known that when you’ve looked at that elderly woman who always…

Everything about you is wonderful. You are perfectly made, perfectly framed, perfectly put together. The way your eyes gush with being captivated. The clasp of your little fingers around my own. The rising and falling of your chest as you breathe. The slight grin of your lips before the giggle we know…

If you asked, I’m sure every photographer will tell you that they’re passionate about photography. I am sure they would describe to you the feeling of getting that amazing image that you know your client will freak out over as a huge rush and how it is incredibly satisfying as an artist. I completely agree with all…

This little one graced the planet with his presence. In all his love and all his simplicity, he is divinely created and perfectly here. In the very rise and fall of his chest, with every breath, it reminds us still. That he is perfectly here. That he could have been born anywhere and at anytime, but today, he is here…
