Once again, I had the opportunity to travel to Toronto, Canada this summer, and photograph some amazing families. I feel so grateful for the opportunity to enter into these families’ homes, so they can let me capture the joy inside them.

My subjects: a sweet and beautiful stay at home mom, and her three gorgeous young kids. I saw myself in her so much, as I am also a stay at home mom; and I “get her”.  She shuttles kids back and forth from her kid’s school, and activities; grocery shopping; make sure everyone is fed and happy; homework; get them clothed; etc. And yes, to stay at home is a huge privilege; but it is also a lot of work. It’s also a time in our lives that goes by so incredibly fast. So it was my intend from the beginning of this session, to capture as many beautiful memories of these crazy years for her. Because I know, no one will treasure and appreciate these memories more than her.
