A portrait of Miss Cosette in her room surrounded

A portrait of Miss Cosette in her room surrounded by her stuffed animal collection. When I photograph families in their home I always ask the kids to show me their rooms, their special collections and favorite objects. It’s a powerful space for them- a place where they have more freedom and autonomy to express themselves and create a sanctuary. It’s also probably a part of your home and family culture that changes the most quickly as kids grow, so documenting it as it is in this season feels important. Imagine being able to show your grandkids photographs of your bedroom growing up.

I still remember details from my childhood bedroom, and how it evolved through my teen years. What do you remember from your bedrooms as a kid? What felt uniquely “you”?

How to end a perfect Saturday morning together- with a tickle fight on the bed.

Family life isn’t easy. Its not all laughing and fun. We know this. Our kids aren’t always cute. Sometimes we don’t even like them. But we keep showing up. We love them unconditionally. We model grace and consistency. We heal our nervous systems and unlearn our trauma responses, we help shape their nervous systems and create new emotional possibilities. This is how worlds get changed.

If you want me to photograph the revolutionary love under your roof I’m booking family storytelling sessions for this summer.

Keep snuggling on the bed until they’re too big. It’ll happen sooner than you think.

“I cannot cause light; the most I can do is try

“I cannot cause light; the most I can do is try to put myself in the path of its beam. It is possible, in deep space, to sail in solar wind. Light, be it particle or wave, has force: you rig your sail and go. The secret of seeing is to sail on solar wind. Hone and spread your spirit til you yourself are a sail, whetted translucent, broadside to the merest puff. “ - Annie Dillard

From a series I made in San Miguel de Allende last year during a @santafeworkshops with @samabellteacher . The series is called La Luz Perdida, The Lost Light, because of my estrangement to my maternal homeland. I gifted my mother this image for Christmas and we both cried.
