Being a family photographer and teacher is part of my calling.

When I was ten I circled a camera in the Sears Wish Book catalogue and crossed my fingers I’d get it for Christmas.

 

Nothing escaped my lens growing up. First is was the toy dinosaurs in my bedroom, then the forests and cities I explored on family trips, I even took my camera into mosh pits at rock concerts as a teenager.

 

My career path to becoming a teacher was thrown off course when ​I became a school portrait photographer to pay tuition.

 

After a couple of years of taking class photos in chaotic gyms, I left to start ​my own family photography business.

Along the journey, Naomi and I looked at our first ultrasound photos - four kids later, we haven't slept a wink since then!
