The birthday boy finds a quiet spot away from his party to enjoy a piece of cake. Sometimes the best action around the birthday cake is something altogether low key.

Mother and son share a subtle and heartwarming moment. The day is full of small moments like this. Part of being a documentary photographer is having "an eye" for finding the easily missed little moments in the everyday. These so called ordinary moments when captured, can be so meaningful.

Three siblings sit and watch the birthday party unfold. While it seems like the birthday kid gets all the attention, it's been my experience that the siblings will often steal the show.

Part of what I do is observe the many different interactions between people. A fleeting glance, brief encounter, or small gesture when captured can last a lifetime.
