I've always loved photos. Growing up, my Mom was the one with the camera in hand, filling albums with photos of my sister and me. I love looking through those albums even now, because they hold little pieces of our lives that I might have otherwise forgotten. That's what photography is to me, pausing a moment in time so it can be cherished forever.

Now as a Mother myself, I find that same joy in photographing my daughter. Preserving her milestones, everyday smiles and little moments that mean so much. That love of memory keeping is what inspires me to capture those moments for others too.
