The families who call me aren`t usually looking for photos. They`re looking for a way to hold onto a season that`s slipping by a little faster than they expected. #moonlightbeach

You never realize how tiny they are while you`re in it. Then one day you look back and wonder how those little arms and legs ever fit so perfectly in your hands.

The biggest reason people call isn`t because they need photos. It`s because they suddenly realize time is moving faster than they thought.

One of my favorite things to photograph is childhood wonder. The daydreaming, the imagination, the quiet moments that disappear as kids grow older.

The older kids get, the more parents tell me, "We`re overdue." Life gets busy and family photos get pushed to someday. Until suddenly everybody looks different.
