For the past four years, I've had the incredible privilege of homeschooling my girls. This experience has profoundly shaped my perspective on life, family, and photography.

Homeschooling has reminded me to truly cherish the everyday moments. From the quiet joy of reading together to spontaneous field trips and learning adventures, I've come to re-appreciate how these seemingly small moments weave together the fabric of our family's story. As a photographer, this renewed appreciation has deepened my understanding of capturing meaningful moments—those that speak volumes about love, growth, and togetherness.

We spent our last homeschool hurrah driving around Pacific Northwest in a camper van!

Throughout these years, I've also discovered that homeschooling has made me a better photographer. Patience, creativity, and the ability to adapt are crucial in both roles. As I navigated the challenges and joys of teaching my children, I found myself approaching photography with renewed creativity and empathy. Each session became an opportunity to connect on a deeper level, understanding the unique dynamics and emotions of every family I had the pleasure to work with.

Moreover, homeschooling has made me a better parent. It has taught me the importance of flexibility, patience, and the art of seeing the world through my children's eyes. These qualities have not only enriched my personal life but have also influenced my approach to photography. I strive to capture authentic moments that reflect the essence of family life—moments that families can look back on with warmth and nostalgia.

As my role as a home educator comes to a close, I am excited to announce my return to photography full-time. I am eager to reconnect with each of you and to continue documenting your stories through my lens. Whether it's capturing the joy of childhood, the bond between loved ones, or the milestones that shape your journey, I am committed to providing you with timeless images that reflect the beauty of your unique story.

Thank you for your unwavering support and encouragement over the years. I look forward to embarking on this new chapter together and capturing the moments that matter most to you.
