Philosophy

You, your family and your routine are all visually sensational and belong in a gallery. But you have been you for so long that it’s difficult to appreciate this fact. 

Adaptation is an evolutionary necessity.  If we did not experience a decent amount of desensitization we would never get anything done; we would sit around like aliens stroking the corduroy of the couch and staring in abject, open mouthed delight at the outfits our kids choose. 

But I am new to your life and I am still appropriately astonished by what I see when I step through your front door. You are brand new to me. I am the alien who will repeatedly run my hand over furniture. You provide me with exciting materials from which I create images that are just as fascinating and complex as you are.

Even when it’s good, parenthood is relentless, and in the ceaseless cycle of days we lose the ability to recognize how haunting, funny and pretty it all is. I am the fresh eyes you have been searching for without knowing exactly what you’ve been searching for.  The pictures I make during our session- evocative, cinematic, intriguing- will be far closer to the true experience of your life than how you can discern it, weary and adapted as you are.
