Exploring cities with families is a funny thing to experience. Adults “Oooh” and “Ahhh” over architectural wonders while children wonder what all the fuss is about. But it’s such an awesome time to document. As kids get older, their interests will change dramatically. Their perceptions and how they see simple surroundings will change and it’s so much fun to compare their reactions as the years pass.
I loved documenting Liam and watching all the typical everyday struggles his parents had with him. Getting dressed, walking around the city, trying to go potty and just staying in bed for bedtime. Maybe it’s a little weird… but I kind of think it’s all a bit hilarious. I think being aware of each phase being so transient helps. (Wink! Hang in there all you tired mamas…)
The Big Picture
Seasons come and seasons go.
Homes change.
Cities around us change.
But it is an awesome to be able to document the phases of our lives for ourselves and our kids. As Liam grows up, he’ll get to look back at all the ways he tortured his parents (haha) but he’ll also see how much love his mom and dad put into every moment. And THAT is such a gift.

These are so wonderful!! They are so lucky to have had you there to create such beautiful keepsakes for them to look back on!
I absolutely love how real these are, what great memories for this family!
So many honest, tender, fun moments. I absolutely love how you capture this family in their journey.
Thanks for capturing L at his finest – tantrums and bathrooms at all, and for your enduring patience with us!! We love the photos and the current chaos they represent in life right now as we know it. Love you!
