This is the version of you they’ll want to remember.

Tell me if this sounds familiar - you see a photo of yourself and before you even take it in properly, you’re already picking it apart…

The way your hair looks.
The way your shirt creased weird.

The crows feet around your eyes.
That tiny thing you notice that nobody else even sees.

I know this, because it’s something I do, too.
It’s almost automatic, isn’t it?

We’re so used to looking for the things we wish were different that we miss what’s actually there - the warmth, the love, the tenderness.

But you know what - your children don’t see any of the stuff you fixate on.

They still see you, you know - whether they’re clinging to your leg or pretending they’re too cool to hold your hand in public.
They notice the way your face lights up when you laugh at something they said.
They feel the calm in your presence, even if they’d never admit it out loud.
You are still home to them.

My job isn’t to capture the polished or ‘perfect’ version of you.
It’s to show you the beauty that’s already there — in the way your teenager leans their head on your shoulder when no one’s watching, or the way your youngest melts into your hug at the end of a long day.
It’s in the glances, the quiet gestures, the everyday closeness that holds your whole world together.

That’s what matters.

Not the outfit. Not the hair. Not whether everyone’s looking at the camera.
Just the real you — loved in ways you don’t always get to see.

And that’s the woman you need to see when you look back at your photos.

If you’re ready to finally be in the frame too, please reach out and we’ll capture this stage before it shifts again.
