It's easy to shy away from photographs because you're too busy, so exhausted, not feeling your best. It's easy to be the taker and never let yourself be in, when holidays make you feel exposed or less than. But one day, your loved ones will search for those memories to bolster their own. Those pictures, no matter how you look, are set to become absolutely precious. And no one, not one of them, will care how together you appear. They will care, very much, that it is you. And all of your you-ness will be the exact gift they very much need in that moment. Be in the photo my friends. They are not for you.

Need I say more? I like to capture you and your family as you are. All of you, having a nice time, in a special place. And it is my honour to do so.
