Some photographers don’t like doing family portraits, but I LOVE photographing families. The importance of family is at the core of our identities. To use a metaphor, our family are the roots that allow us to grow into strong and healthy human beings. So it is incredibly important that we photograph them!

I love to photograph the daily rituals of family life. When I have kids I eagerly await to read them bed time stories, share hugs and bake banana chocolate chip bread. It is these things that I want to photograph; the memories that create the structure of warmth and safety.

Family portraits are all about these things, but also it’s a time to look good and feel great in front of the camera. The images below highlight the energy and happiness of a young family.
