today is my new favourite day

Observing the way in which my daughters experience the world comes with a sense of recognition: a childlike sensitivity and excitement, as if seeing things for the first time; perceiving my surroundings through the eyes of my younger self. 

Not having grown up in the safety of a family home, I have developed a heightened fascination for all that is individual, intimate and natural within the security of this setting. I admire their purity and creativity around the house and love that they are able to drop all sense of what is considered right or wrong, acceptable or not. Allowing for unlimited fantasy and freshness in which I find true inspiration, much humour and partners in crime. What started as an observation became a collaboration. Even the images that are staged are drawn from our day to day life. They happened. I was just lucky enough to see them.
