lets get one thing straight...
it doesn’t matter to me if I beat your mother in law to the delivery room, if we are splashing with your toddlers in the water on the Oregon coast, or if I’m documenting your newest addition before the fresh wears off… what matters to me is that you feel something. when you meet me. when we’re shooting. but ultimately when you re-discover these images 15 years from now.
