Well first off, can I just say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who have left a comment, sent me a message (or two), inquired, and hired me for these Truth Sessions! Honestly, I had a moment where I just broke down because of all the love and support […]
Back this fall when I was shooting a ton of families, and after shooting tons of families all dressed up, and kids napped and not cranky, and feeling a little uncomfortable I realized something. Why do we try to portray ourselves and our families as perfect? With the world of Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and everything […]
[…] year at this time I was just posting my first truth session. The Thurston family was the first family to let me photograph them in their truth. To be honest, I didn’t think […]
I came across these through Girl of Cardigan’s wonderful blog. Your photos of her family are really fantastic. I aspire to do similar documentary-style portraits of kids & families, including kids learning at camp & school and families doing yoga together. Some of my photos are at shoshana.smugmug.com if you want to check them out.
Thanks for sharing these. Keep up your wonderful work! If you’re ever in DC, let me know — I would love to have you document my family!
These are fantastic. We will never go back!
These photos blow my mind. Can we please be best friends and you (and your camera) become a capturing part of my life?? This is such a piece of beauty. wow.
Wow, these are beautiful. I love the real life idea. Great shots.
Love the photos, especially the one of Fable between her parent’s legs! One comment, though…it’s really hard to read the text on your website because it’s so light.
Yes, yes, yes! I love these so much and the stories the images tell. I think all photographers (myself included) should move towards this kind of photography and storytelling. It’s beautiful and it’s true. Love it.
Lovely real-life photos! These are the sort that capture such a special, fleeting time– a treasure for life.
Oh Ashley. I love them so much. I love my hat hair and Fable’s toddler tears and the mud on our boots and the curls on the back of her sweet head and the clutter on the shelves and just all of it. You’re exactly right – it’s just a moment. It’s a frozen moment of our being just exactly who we were, one Saturday, for one day in our great big long and lovely lives. I just… I just love them. Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you.
You know those people that when you meet them you just click? Well, when we had our client meeting with Beth and Caleb it was love at first drink. Beth is a designer, and knew exactly what she wanted. I showed up and forgot all my stuff on the counter. Still with my absent minded-ness, […]
I’m not even sure where to start this blog, honestly. These photos were actually more of a journey for me, and how I felt about myself. When I was throwing around the idea of really doing boudoir photos (I’ve done 3 before, but was pretty green still) I had someone ask if I would […]
When you were little did people ever ask you what you wanted to be one day? Most likely the answer is yes. And most likely you said something silly, not realistic; and then you grow up and realize you must make money and to be successful means to make a certain amount of money. I’m […]
