I did a thing that was completely outside my comfort zone. I was recently interviewed on the Documentary Family Photographers Community podcast by the wonderful Heather Whitten, and we talked all about Photographing Adolescence.

We dug into how my homeschooling journey shaped my approach to photography, why I’ve become more drawn to photographing teens, and the impact of advice I’ve received from Nyack based therapist Maskit and clinical psychologist Lisa Damour in doing this work thoughtfully.

This conversation means a lot to me. It’s personal, a little vulnerable, and full of the kinds of things I wish more people talked about when it comes to parenting and photographing teens.
