When I heard about the #TheFrontStepsProject, I knew it was something I wanted to do, and it felt like it had to be on #film. Film for me is the epitome of an uncurated and often imperfect snap of reality, and it seemed like the only way for me to honestly capture this time in history. It was a special few days before the shelter in place, mostly because social interaction felt so needed, and it was rare to have an excuse to see a friendly face. With that said, it was important to me that everyone involved felt free to express their current state as it was, I didn't want anyone to feel pressured to put on a happy face if they were feeling the weight of the world, and I didn't want people to pretend to be sad and scared if they were enjoying this time with loved ones and weren't in a darker place.

Cant go to the beach so surf the street.

This picture is special to me because it is a picture of my 2 babies, my daughter Harper who is 1.5 and our dog rocko who is 6. The love and bond between the 2 can melt anyone's heart. From the day we brought Harper home from the hospital he has been her protector. I took this photo at our home in our kitchen. I randomly walked in the kitchen and caught her smoochin his face. Had to snap a picture. He is not just an animal. He is our family and has been since my fiancé got him as a present 6 years ago for Christmas.

This shot was taken in Stuart, FL just before the sun was about to rise and a huge rain storm was just ending.

We always stop by the goat corral when we visit the Maryland Zoo but never before have we made a friend as sweet as this! This particular goat wouldn't let my son leave his side and would lick his hand whenever he scratched behind his ears! Such a sweet moment!

There is beauty in everything and in every moment. Teaching your loved ones how to appreciate the little things in life.

So deeply in thought...

Our version of the Easter Bunny:) Our dog Jasmine was a good sport to pose for me and received some string cheese as her reward.

Going for a walk everyday during this social distancing time helps to notice and appreciate what is around you. Dandelions always make me feel like a kid again.

On a recent day trip to the mountains, our family took advantage of an old rock wall and the afternoon sunlight.

I love this photo of my sister, my mom, my late grandmother and me captured one Mother's Day. We'll miss celebrating with my grandma this year for sure!

On a clear frigid morning around 4am, I hiked around Cadillac Mountain looking for a great spot to setup my camera equipment. The temperature was in the 20's with very strong winds which made it difficult at first to capture a picture in focus, but once the sun rose above the horizon the rays gave off a stunning glow which made getting up very early and dealing with the freezing cold worth it to capture this inspirational shot.

My new boxer puppy had been barking like crazy all morning. I tried everything to make her stop. I went over to open the blinds to the window, and finally she walked over and plopped herself in the sun. I suppose she was just looking for a comfy spot to rest. Seeing her so content made me remember why we got her in the first place. I had to get a picture of that.

I wake up to this scenery every morning, and for that I am very thankful! Photo taken last year in the Santa Cruz Mountains, California. This is what nature is to me

This picture of my beloved cat Cals as she enjoyed the view, and her own reflection, looking out the back window at some birds at play. I love the picture because it shows her just enjoying what inside cats seem to like -- just looking out of people's windows.
