“We’ll get the house ready.”
“We’ll make sure they’re behaved.”
“We’ll prep them.”
“We’ll clean.”
“We’ll try to have them in a good mood.”
No.
Stop.
Breathe.
This is documentary storytelling, not a performance.
Your child does not need to be calm. Your house does not need to be perfect. Your life does not need to be quiet.
You do not need to be “ready.” I want you to be prepared in being EXACTLY who you are and how your family is.
Because this is the story.
The chaos, the costumes, the mess, the tears, the laughter, the climbing, the collapsing, the real life! Your real life. Your kids EXACTLY as they are at this EXACT moment. The little things they do to convey happiness, the developmentally appropriate new skill they’ve learned, the sibling rivalry just to make up again 5 minutes later, the favourite stuffed animal, the nap time showdown. We want ALL OF IT!
These photos are not accidents. They are truth.
And if you’re worried about your child being “too much,” let me be very clear:
This is exactly enough.
I am not here to photograph a version of your family that doesn’t exist. I am here to preserve the one you are actually living.
Unscripted. Unpolished. Unapologetically real. I want you to look back at these pictures and remember the small things that you don’t even realize in 20 years you’ll appreciate having a memory of.
So no, you don’t need to prepare. Just live.
I’ll take care of the rest. 🤍🤞🏽
