The idea of inviting a documentary photographer into your home may not automatically make you jump for joy. It’s soooo vulnerable. It requires trust to feel safe enough to open up our worlds to anyone. And then here I am, a total stranger, asking to come into your home with a camera pointed at you. I completely understand the hesitation.

“If we’re home, the kids will be on iPads and dad will be watching sports”

“We’re so boring!!!”

“We just moved here, the house isn’t ready yet”

“Our house is always a mess, my kids are mini tornadoes”

These are some common fears I hear all the time. Aren’t we always our own worst critics? However, think deeper about the home you created for your family. In addition to some clutter, isn’t it also filled with a lot of love and comfort too? It’s where your children’s artwork hangs on the fridge (that they seem to bring home almost every single day :) It’s where you spend most of your time together. It’s where everyone feels comfortable to be all the versions of themselves. It’s where small traditions grow over the years and become our fondest adult memories. It’s where your children see their own photos on the wall and know they belong.
