Cheryl reached out to me to capture their family photos for her older son, Kasper's 4th birthday. I couldn't help but think about what a special birthday present a mother can gift herself for her forever first baby's birthday. Since becoming a mother myself, I've experienced the true bittersweetness of motherhood. Children can fill our lives with so much joy and fulfillment, but they can also be quite a handful. This day-in-the-life documentary-style family session serves as a reminder for us moms and dads of the sweetness of parenthood in its rawest form—kids being kids. Even though they can be challenging and, dare I say, seemingly difficult at times, they are our greatest inspiration and often our role models.

The authenticity and love of everyday life captured in these photographs remind us of the genuine bond between parents and children. Cheryl and Wayne, thank you for welcoming me into your home with open arms and allowing me to document this fleeting stage of your children and your family.

I invite you to sit back and immerse yourself in an ordinary day with Cheryl, Wayne, Kasper, and Kendrick. Cherish these moments, for they will forever be a unique and cherished time spent with our dearest kids.

A Day-in-the-Life family photography session captures authentic moments of your family in the comfort of your own home. These documentary-style family photographs serve as timeless reminders of these precious days for years to come. Meet Cheryl, Wayne, and their two sons, Kasper and Kendrick.
