When I photograph someone I love my work almost flies to another level.  I’m not scared of loosing their approval and I’m just concerned with loving them well with my lens.  The Jenkins family has always let me love them well through my lens.

This woman she speaks love to me and I flourish in her encouragement.  And when I encourage her to be brave on the other side of the lens: magic happens.  I’m able to document who she is and how she loves.

I’m able to create documentary family photography to show how a family really lives. And we play.  Chasing the sunset.  Skipping.  Laughing.  Blowing dandelions.  Playing ring around the rosies with my girls.

This is what I was made to do: to tell your stories with beauty so that on those messy hard days, you can remember why it’s all worth it to begin with.
