That really stuck with me and I try to apply it to every single image I take. I have a special place in my heart for capturing Mums. Mums so often get overlooked. They're either behind the lens themselves or are asking to be photographed, which normally results in images that are staged and lack authenticity. Mums are usually doing the juggle of everything and if one ball is dropped everything falls apart. I want mums to feel seen as they are for all the work they do.

This can admittedly feel a little confronting, because your house might not be clean enough. You might not feel enough in your body. But when my clients look back at their images, the last thing they are doing is looking just at themselves. They are taking in the whole image. They story in front of their eyes. THEIR story. You will not regret having a documentary family photography session in your life. I promise you. Over time, these images become more and more valuable to your family records. It is an honest trip down memory lane.
