Best friends since three having a killer post bridal shower dance party. I think I had as much fun photographing them as they did dancing. This was a wonderful day.

Why Documentary?
After losing a parent young and only having a handful of photos to represent him- I understand the significance that real life images hold. I’ve looked through old photos hoping to reignite memories of our life together and who he was, but I can only learn so much from a photo of me and him smiling for the camera. I want to remember so much more than what he looked like. My favorite photo of us is a real, shared moment that immortalizes what it felt like to be with him. Too many of my first hand memories have unfortunately faded and these types of images help me stay connected to who my father was.
I believe nothing compares to real life and I can’t think of anything more significant to immortalize than who we are and how we love each other.
These images will only become more meaningful over time as our lives seem to rapidly change. They will be invaluable for those we leave behind, as they will always have part of us to hold onto.
Recently, I was going through boxes of old photos with my family which brought memories back from the depths of my mind. I got to see the happiness on my face while dancing with my Grandma, what my Mom and Grandma looked like when they were younger, how happy I was to finally have a little sister, what my parents’ lives were before they had my sister and me, all of my awkward phases (and proof that my sister has never been awkward in her life), the dated gifts/clothes/furniture/decor… each image helped bridge the generational gaps between us making everything click for me in a way that took me from understanding to feeling and empathizing. Sitting on the floor, passing photos around from times past, and sharing stories connected and bonded me to my family in such a beautiful way. Being able to look back in time and see everything and everyone as they were… that experience was truly invaluable.
