20+ years. Thousand of kids. More snack breaks than you can count. If it involves photographing a toddler mid tantrum, a preschooler dressed like a firefighter-princess-dinosaur, or a six year old with questions about death and boogers – i've been there. I’ve captured it for all sorts of magazines and ad campaigns. I am not just good with kids, i've got expert level kid radar, built in patience reserves, and a 6th sense for spotting the moment – that blink of real emotion before it disappears.
This isn’t just a job —it’s a love story with childhood. Unscripted, unsanitized, unforgettable. I won't ask your kids to say “cheese” but I will catch them the second they burst out laughing because they just told a knock knock joke with a banana and think it’s the funniest thing ever. ​
Because after 20+ years, I don’t photograph kids for the perfect picture. I photograph them for the one that makes you feel something 20 years from now. Because it does disappear. That version of them – the one who still believes in fairies and santa, the one that insists on wearing a unicorn costume to the grocery store, the one that fits in your arms just so – they don’t stay long. But a photograph? If it is honest, if it's real, if it sees them truly —it stays.
