Mother’s Day Edition

The Missing Frame Series

Step Into the Frame
For Them, For You, For Generations to Come

As mothers, we are the keepers of our family’s memories. We document the milestones, capture the laughter, and preserve the fleeting moments. But too often, we forget to include ourselves.

I know this because I did it too.

In 2019, my son made a simple but profound observation: “Mom, why aren’t you in any pictures?” That moment stopped me in my tracks. As a photographer, I believed I was creating a legacy for my family—but I had missed the point. These photos weren’t just for me. They were for my child’s future, for my grandchildren to look back on, for the generations to come. And I wasn’t in them.

That realization became The Missing Frame Project—a mission to bring mothers back into the story. I worked on this personal project up until Covid stopped the world, today I am continuing with the message in honor of Mother's Day and invite you to my studio for a limited number of portrait sessions designed exclusively for mothers and their children—whether they are tiny hands in yours or grown enough to stand beside you. These sessions focus on connection and allow for us to explore the bond that exists with our children by our side. Dad's are welcome and encouraged for the perfect family photo.
