Notre Dame Family Photos | South Bend, Indiana Family Photography | The Thibert Family

Can I be honest with you? It feels so strange, to keep living and breathing in a world where there is so much suffering … to continue “business as usual”, when the world is on fire, figuratively and literally …

While I’m still trying to keep joy at the center as a photographer, I’m also trying to honor dual realities of where I am on the planet, but always holding space and grief for people I don’t know, yet yearn for peace and safety in where they find themselves living and breathing in this world …

I wish I had the answers to the constant uncertainty, but I promise to hold you and your loved ones close, as we navigate this ever-changing world, and I will always try to bring joy into your universe, even if just for a few moments. Thank you for letting me share in your memories. It truly is an honor.
