  • who wins your bread…

    I was eight months pregnant with my son when Izzy Chan asked me if I would help her document the increasing trend of women becoming the primary breadwinners of their families. She had statistics and facts for this new role reversal that painted a pretty dismal outlook. As the primary breadwinners of our own households,…

  • the most beautiful home birth I almost saw…

    If you asked me how my home birth was, you would not hear me say, “My home birth was beautiful.” Instead I very honestly would tell you, “It was extremely long, incredibly painful and very, very messy. I can understand why drugs were invented and why people take them.” Between endless hours of back-breaking contractions,…

Not only were two books with my photography published this year… (Harvesting Color by Rebecca Burgess.) (Cooking My Way Back Home by Mitchell Rosenthall.) But I also started work on my third book… And I had two photographs…
