Self Portrait - the Struggle is Real
No job or adventure has proven quite as awe-inspiring as motherhood- my most favourite position by far. It is one of the things that led me to photography and inspires me most as a photographer--I see the sweet firsts of my children, the way they will never again be exactly as they are in that very moment, the way that time is so very fleeting and how I just want to hold on to that preciousness and the beauty that is them.
I love to capture children and families and those whom I photograph as they are--being themselves, so that when you look back at your images years from now, you will feel as though you are right back in that moment...sometimes we don't know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. love to be able to see those small, minute details and freeze that emotion and moment in time.

entry description
This image is my self-portrait. Parenting is hard! A very typical day for me - doing laundry, taking care of the dog, dealing with kids at odds - generally trying to keep up with family, work and daily life.about the photographer
am a slightly crazed hockey mom with love for colour, the outdoors, the sound of my children laughing as they play in the pool on a hot summer day, Chocolate Peanut Butter Hagen Daz, lake swimming and my ever-growing collection of coffee mugs--not necessarily in that order.No job or adventure has proven quite as awe-inspiring as motherhood- my most favourite position by far.
