Motherhood allows for some interesting opportunities, quite often. This month, I was driving with my kids. I don’t remember exactly how it came up, but we were talking about who we love.

Capturing Quarantine | Cardboard Houses Photo Shoot
Early on in the shelter-in-place phase of life this year, I began thinking up a studio shoot focused on capturing quarantine. I wanted something fun, but themed to this time.

How Having a Kid Changed How I View Road Trips
