snapshots in time
-MJ
i am already so grateful you are here, thank you for coming this far. one of my favorite quotes is by lam surya das, “with every breath, the old moment is lost; a new moment arrives. we exhale and we let go of the old moment. it is lost to us. in doing so, we let go of the person we used to be. we inhale and breathe in the moment that is becoming. we repeat the process. this is meditation. this is renewal. this is life. “ i believe that every moment, individual, and movement within your life leaves an imprint. a tiny part of your story that shifts and evolves with time. but i also believe it’s in the simple things, the constants, that make up the greater picture. i enjoy capturing just that. all of these tiny moments in time with the people you love. capturing connection and the richness of our souls, this is my why.

moments we’ve documented
homegrown was born out of a love of photographing the simple moments that make up lives. the joy, the sadness, the love, the loss, and everything in between. in a world that increasingly needs more human connection, compassion, and understanding, homegrown works to break down barriers and remind us all that at our essence - we are one. we are all perfectly imperfect humans with beautifully complex lives. homegrown is inspired by the richness of souls and works to capture the intricacies of life - the moments that matter, whether they be big or small.

Our home session with MJ was such a special experience. She made my partner and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which is such a lovely and refreshing skill to experience! I love that she’s also brilliant at capturing natural movement and light in her photos. The results are just stunning. These pictures are ones we’ll cherish forever!

MJ & will captured the magic of the day in a way that left my family, friends, and ourselves speechless. Five months later, we still have people raving about how incredible our photos turned out. We will continue to work with, recommend and support Homegrown for photography services moving forward because there is no better choice.

After several photoshoots with MJ and Will, they continue to impress with their professionalism and creativity. They have already begun beautifully documenting our growing family and they will be our go-to for many, many years to come. I can't recommend them enough.
