As we begin to live with light, tenderly

I’d like to tell you about a house I said goodbye to without knowing quite how to say it.

It was my last client shoot in New Zealand. We were in the middle of packing up our lives - selling everything, closing everything down, the particular numbness that comes when a chapter ends not with a door slamming but with a long quiet exhale.

The shoot had been booked for months. I didn't know if I could make it happen in the middle of all of that. But it felt important. For them, and I understood this only later, for me.
