Your friends and family expect you to bring your camera to birthday parties and holiday dinners. You pick up your camera before the broom when your kids spill flour all over the kitchen floor. You're the family photographer. Every other week, I share my conversations with photographers about their work and their families. How can we take better photos of our family life? Why are we taking all these photos in the first place?

Erin’s interview

I am not a photographer but I am so inspired to start and catalogue my family during Covid. I want to find the beauty of staying at home and staying safe with each other. What an inspiration you are, Jenny. I also agree with George that this is a time to be fearless! What is normal, anyway? Thanks so much for these podcasts!

Only through episode 1 and it shook me to my core

This podcast was just recommended to me by a fellow photographer when I mentioned to her I was obsessed with documentary family photography. I suddenly knew this is where I wanted to take my business and episode one spoke so clearly to me! I was brought to tears by Kate Densmore’s “why”. As a Mom I felt like she was articulating everything I couldn’t about why I want to document my life with my kids. Just a truly amazing podcast that I know will teach me so much. Thank you thank you!
