My Oaxaca

I am fascinated by children and the complexity and beauty of childhood. Children tend to be open, curious and honest; they haven’t yet built stories around who they are. I try to capture their authentic selves, and am honored when they allow me into their hearts, their homes and their private worlds. They are my teachers, bestowing lessons in humility, generosity, kindness and trust. These children have been photographed over seven years in various Homes for Children in Oaxaca.
