I’m a mom of two boys born 20 months apart with loads of energy and so much love for each other and definitely dogs and bugs too. I’ve been on the other side of the camera nervous to schedule a photo session unsure of how my boys will cooperate. I’ve been there hoping to feel more camera ready and most of all, more like myself. I’ve sat there wondering how I can possibly find a photographer who can capture all of this love we have for each other. How to hang on to these memories so we can revisit the happiest of times because we all know it’s not all cuddles and giggles with toddlers.

So about me? I’m a retired wedding photographer turned family photographer AND short filmmaker. I’m married to my best friend our boys are 8 and 10 years old. They are growing so fast and we can barely believe our eyes. You can often find us at the soccer fields on the weekends, playing boardgames or watching a 90s movie.

So here is a short film I crafted of our two boys when they were toddlers. When they were just a dream, a hope, a seed in my belly, even then we couldn’t have envisioned how sweet and kind our boys would be. We couldn’t have foreseen a home and our hearts full of so much love.
