In our lives and our children's, there are milestones and there are moments. Milestones like, "Billy took his first steps today," and "Lisa graduates this year," chronicle the passage of time, with special attention paid to specific mileposts.

Moments are different. Moments are that unexpected and special time when something happens that connects us and deepens our bonds with those we love - that moment when everything feels right, real, and complete.

As photographers, we certainly know how to photograph the milestones in children's lives, and that's good. We all need milestones. However, I think that if we were to photograph from a 'moments' perspective, the result would be entirely different. Something that expresses more about who and what we are as defined by the moments in our lives, rather than by the whens and wheres of our lives.

I believe our lives are defined more by moments than by years and events, and I want to capture that for you.
