Project Family

Mamiya RZ Pro II, Kodak Portra 800, 110mm lens, f/2.8. Ogden, UT.

Family is an obvious choice for personal projects, as I have six kids and a wife I adore. (Yep, s-i-x.) The camera is with me more times than not. It is very hard for me to leave the camera, and I often regret it if I do.

Callie knows that photography is not a job to me. It is part of who I am. I’d be doing it whether I was being paid or not.

I will never apologize for documenting the most important thing to me — my family — and encourage you to document yours as well.

I’d always rather document than not.

I shoot my kids at least once a week, averaging 10 rolls of 220 shot per month on family alone. I print my favorites on an Epson 3800 and then store them in clam shell boxes.
