NO. 1 NOSTALGIA
For as long as I can remember, the past has quite literally haunted me. In a sense, it haunts us all—right? I still drive the same car I drove when I was sixteen. I still love slasher films. I say some of the same sayings and eat the same food and listen to the same grungy old music. I still check in on my old best friend’s page just to make sure she’s doing okay. I have things from middle school that I can’t throw away because they remind me of who I was during a time when I felt like I had nothing. I remember the dreams I had back then. I still see that girl. My ghost. And while time has inevitably moved on, I am nothing more than a collection of pieces of every person I’ve ever loved, every place I’ve ever been, every dream I’ve ever dreamt. I’m 26 now, but I’m also 25, 23, 17, and all the years before and in between. 

NO. 2 LEGACY
It’s the kids looking through an old photo box in the attic, “look at this photo of mom and dad” “weren’t they beautiful?” “they were so in love” “I miss them” I want to take you back to this time. This time that meant everything to you. That girl you worked so hard to become, that boy you love. When time moves on, they will stay the same. What did the air feel like? What did it smell like? Can you remember a time when this was everything? They’re still here, long after we’ve gone. 

NO. 3 A SAFE PLACE
It's truth, intimacy, vulnerability. Comfort that allows you to be yourself in front of the camera. A safe place. Whether we’re laughing, crying, dancing, telling stories. I want to create real, raw moments during our time spent together.

NO. 4 CREATIVITY
It’s what drives me. It’s what makes me who I am. It’s when I feel most fulfilled. When I’m rambling on & on about my ideas in the late hours of the night to my husband, when I’m writing down concepts the second I wake up because I had a dream that inspired me. It’s imagination. It’s a unique process and it’s completely dedicated to you.

NO. 5 THE END RESULT
An endless collection of real, raw moments, places, things and people that mean everything to you locked in time forever.
