Somehow in this big, benevolent existence,
you found them.
Now—you find me.
You let me see you and the contour lines of the greatest love you’ve ever known.
in June heaven by my honey, Amanda Gillian Photo (June 2022 - Lake Tahoe, CA)
I know with unwavering truth that the most indispensable thing we have to hold in this life is each other.
& these are my people
I’ve been wide-eyed, listening to stories and photographing love since as long as I can remember. These two - my sweet grandparents, were my very first couple ever. I started photographing their contagious love all the way back in middle school and fell head first for the witnessing of human connection.

My sweet, larger than life grandparents both passed on Valentines Day, very unexpectedly soon after I took this photograph — it serves as the last eternal memory we will have of them and my grandparents’ love story on this side of Heaven. This photo is the full realization of the gravity of what I do. I can’t give you forever with the people that weave together the framework of our lives, but I can give you the next best thing. Hold fast to each other, I'll take care of the rest.
