Why Your Story Deserves to Be Captured
There’s something sacred about the everyday moments—the way light spills across a kitchen table, the quiet laughter between two people who just get each other, the tiny fingers of a child grasping a parent’s hand. These moments tell a story, your story, and they deserve to be preserved.
At The Commonplace, I believe photography isn’t just for big milestones or perfectly curated Instagram feeds. It’s for the real, the raw, the in-between. It’s for the people who might not have considered booking a session before, thinking professional photography was too expensive or only reserved for special occasions. But what if I told you that your life—right now, as it is—is already worth documenting?
A Calling to Serve
Photography has always been more than just a skill to me; it’s a calling. The Lord has given me this gift, and I want to use it to serve others—to help you see the beauty in your own story. Too often, people feel like they need a reason to step in front of the camera. A wedding, a graduation, a new baby. But what about the quiet moments of love and connection that fill our days? Those matter, too.
I started The Commonplace with a simple mission: to make photography accessible, affordable, and meaningful. I want you to have photos that feel like you—candid, warm, and filled with life. Photos that don’t just capture how you look, but how you feel in this season.
Your Story Matters
You don’t need to wait for the “right time” to document your life. The right time is now. Whether it’s a cozy session at home, a walk through your favorite park, or simply laughing with the people you love, I want to help you hold onto these moments forever.
So if you’ve ever thought, I’d love professional photos, but they’re just not for me—let’s change that. Your story is worthy. Your moments are valuable. And I would be honored to capture them for you!
A Blog for Every Season of Life
Beyond photography, The Commonplace is also a space to share thoughts on simple living, motherhood, creativity, and the beauty in the everyday. Whether it’s photography tips, reflections on family life, or ways to slow down and savor the present, this blog is for anyone looking to embrace the ordinary and make it meaningful.
So, if you’re looking for photos that feel real—or just a place to feel inspired in the little things—I’d love for you to be part of this journey. Let’s create something beautiful together.
