Life rushes by us at breakneck speed.
We're all so busy struggling to keep up with our schedules and responsibilities that we rarely stop and appreciate - really appreciate - those people and relationships in our lives that are most important to us. But children grow, people change, and inevitably, memories fade. As a photographer, my eye searches for the simple moments that illustrate the stories of couples starting their lives together, infants in their remarkable smallness, young children exploring the world, and the inextricable connection of family, so that those moments we want to remember can be revisited and revived a few weeks or a few generations later. I cannot overstate the value this record holds for me in my own life: I count certain photographs of my parents, my brother, my wedding, my husband, and most especially my children among my most prized possessions. Given my practical attitude and propensity for sarcasm, even my best friends would probably scoff at the idea, but at heart, I am a sentimentalist.
