About

For sixteen years, I thought my job was straightening collars and getting everyone to smile at the same time.

Take the photograph everyone showed up for.
I loved many of those images.

But the ones I remembered most were never planned.
A teenager laughing at something only their brother understood, while their mom watched them instead of the camera. A son reaching for his dad's hand.

I won’t ask you to perform.
You don’t have to look at me.
Pay attention to each other. I’ll do the same.

Mama asleep.
