"Think of the mess like fairy dust.

One day it will go away and take all the magic with it."


Photographing children at play is my first love, and capturing these moments with my own children is the reason I started taking pictures in the first place. Let me capture the dimpled cheeks covered in cake batter; the chubby fist clutching the weed bouquet; the muddy feet, the tangled curls. All the love and madness and magic that make up this beautiful and brief season that is childhood.
