Selected for Exhibition
Artist statement: I typically do not consider myself a portrait photographer, but I do love capturing my children. With three children and a dog, it seems like the house is always bustling with noise and activity. On this snowy January day, I really appreciated a quiet contemplative moment with my daughter. It was a friendly reminder to take a step back from the chaos and really appreciate all these moments I have with them while they are still young.
