“I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.”

As I enter my mid-twenties, I am increasingly drawn to the importance of creating a space where family and home-life are explored and documented. It is easy to daydream about the unknown, for they are vessels of the days that quietly turn into years as I move from what I call home. The concept of romanticizing the mundane and creating a narrative of mystery within domestic life is what I am letting lead my creative eye behind the camera as I document my parents, fiancé and myself. From a very young age, i’ve been inspired by coming-of-age movies I grew up watching, and it is those reminiscent memories that further my inspiration as I capture the day-to-day state of being while living with my recently reunited parents in their suburban home in Spring, TX. These are the seconds I’ve sat in real moments, stopping time, capturing my life as if it were a movie scene right before the end credits.
