Behind the lens;

I photograph the world the way I want my children to remember it…warm, tender, and filled with the quiet magic of everyday life. My work lives where nostalgia meets light: in the glow of a window, the hush of early morning, the sun behind a child’s hair, the atmosphere of a place that feels like home.

I’m drawn to the small things that become the big things — pancakes on a Sunday morning, a bare porch in Florida light, a moment of connection that would disappear if I didn’t notice it. Photography helps me slow down, pay attention, and rewrite the childhood I never had by documenting the one I’m giving my children.

My images blend documentary honesty with fine-art softness, inspired by rococo color, southern architecture, botanical textures, and the timeless feeling of children’s books. Every frame is a mix of memory and imagination a way of saying: “This mattered. This was beautiful. Remember this.”

In the end, my photographs are both a window and a mirror: a window into our family’s story, and a mirror reflecting the way love feels when seen through a mother’s eyes.

My work is a love letter to my children and a visual record of a family surrounded by light.
