When did you first become interested in photography?
I first became interested in photography when my oldest daughter, Emma, was born.
Where did you learn how to shoot photography and edit images?
At what point did you start experimenting with post-production effects?
I started reading Harry Potter to my daughter, Emma, when she was 4 years old.
She instantly fell in love and has been a Harry Potter character every single Halloween since.
Are there any resources you found helpful and would recommend to people wanting to learn?
I am not personally familiar with them, so I can’t recommend anything further.
Fairy tales and fantastical stories are two driving forces behind your work.
What excites you about these tales, and how do you use them as jumping-off points?
Oh, fairy tales and magic have ALWAYS inspired me ever since I was a little girl.
So whenever an idea strikes, I jot it down in my notebook.
Your husband and kids appear in many of your photographs.
What is it like working on the images as a family?
It is definitely a team effort!
Most of our shoots are outdoors.
Do they ever give their input?
We all contribute ideas.
My husband and I brainstorm ideas constantly and the kids are always providing ideas.
Their imaginations are endless!
Brainstorming together can really turn good ideas into great ones.
Creating these images just wouldn’t feel the same without my family being apart of it.
Can you walk us through a typical (as typical as they get!)
Each shoot is different!
Typically a shoot starts with our idea notebook.
The adventure and location scouting is a huge part of the fun in it all.
The kids love being in nature, so this is definitely their favorite part!
We have used music, pretend play, and even a bit of candy sometimes to keep everyone motivated!
Our toddler is all over the place, and he tends to make every shoot hilarious.
After sunset, we head home and get the kids to bed.
This is when the editing starts.
It is also why I don’t post as often as I’d like to.
Some of your most striking photos obscure a figure’s face or torso.
What meaning does that hold for you?
We all feel so many of the same feelings, and I hope my work can help people connect.
What are you working on now?
Anything exciting you’re free to tell us?
I am working on a few exciting things at the moment that I can’t wait to share soon!
Lighting is really so valuable!
