I shot this body of personal work at my family’s annual Thanksgiving gathering. All 8 of my siblings flocked to our warm Arizona sun and we celebrated as per usual with an outdoor lunch followed by games on the lawn. I chose to capture such a special time on film because of the intentionality I knew would have to come with each and every shot. I so wanted to embody the joy and beauty this time always is for my family and to be able to lay out a story board of images that represents the traditions and memories of such a special time Thanksgiving is for us every year. I love all these faces so very much.
