Why Emotional Connection Matters More

I believe photography should be about connection above all else. When you look at a photo, you should feel a spark of recognition—this is us, this is our life, this is our love. That’s the kind of image that will bring a smile to your face decades later.

An emotionally connected photo:

·      Brings you back to a memory you might otherwise forget

·      Holds space for your family’s unique personality

·      Captures not just faces, but feelings

·      Becomes a touchstone for future generations

This is why I focus less on “perfect” and more on presence. Because when you’re truly in the moment, relaxed and being yourself, the photos naturally reflect the beauty of that.
