Maren is a friend that I met through another friend. I have photographed her one other time. We traveled to Thailand together. I have always loved her and it was really cool to get to see her in her home ELEMENT. Her beautiful home and family charm me completely. The ‘sports complex’ they have created in their backyard was a dream to photograph! Lucky kids. Lucky photographer!

Dinner time. Many rituals are sacred for me personally, and dinner is one of them. How the faces change, how the chores are completed, and how in ten years it will be just two of us. The dinner table is the definition of family life and something I have always yearned to document for someone else. I am grateful they trusted my vision and really, really loved creating those images.

This was a night of loving the creative process. So much to create here!

Happy Friday night. I am looking very forward to the weekend (I don’t have to make lunches at 7am).
