I love the spirit of documentary photography. The art of capturing real life moments in an engagement, aesthetic, and impactful way. Getting to apply that mindset to everyday family life is a favorite application of photography. Capturing the precious memories of families and childhood, and of a time that goes by too fast, is a real blessing. Fearless Families started as a way to honor and encourage photographers who wore prusing the craft of family documentary photography. every time I see one of their galleries I get inspired to pick up my camera more, and I often regret that I don’t do it enough. Although I don’t do it as much as I wish I did, I sometimes document my own kids. These are some of my favorite photographs. I’ve always wanted to be good enough to be ranked in the Fearless family awards and this year I finally was! Reaching the top ten.
