(a look behind the lens)
Throughout fictions, myths, and fairy tales, soulmates are seen as our romantic counterparts, the other side of half of our soul. Over the years this belief has been extended to not just romantic pairings, but platonic as well, that sometimes people come into our lives for a variety of reasons, and speak to our souls in ways that are unfathomable.
Haely and I are creative soulmates, bound together by a need to watch the world and interpret its beauty, its life, its story with their art. While Haely started off on the other side of the camera (mine in fact), something akin to fate brought us together to figure out ways of creating art.
Over time, it has evolved into the two of us using the medium of photography to translate love stories of all different kinds: from romantic to platonic to familial. Our approach is simple: capture the truth. Strip away the layers, and document the raw connections and intimacies found between people.
Above all else in the last 10 years, our most valued role has been the one of a storyteller: we are presented with the quiet and the grand moments of people's lives, and translate their stories into a visual medium that freezes time if only for just a split second.
From the young and the old, the fresh love and the enduring, we cherish your stories in our hearts like they're our own and document them with the delicacy and care they deserve.
We're two best friends who were brought together by art and a hunger for the beauty found in moments and witnessing other people's stories has been the defining aspect of our friendship.
Thank you so much for being here, it's truly an honor. The weight of telling your story is not lost on us, and we're humbled by the trust that people put in us to document it naturally and authentically.
