Harrison's Fam

I’m all for nostalgia and finding the romance in any situation. Sometimes, like when I was invited out to Petrisse’s childhood family farm and I am asked to document what I have no doubt will be the best years of their life - I really don’t have to try that hard to find it.

There really is something so special…..actually that word doesn’t cut it here really. That feels a little run of the mill. There is something unique and soft, yet so powerful and warm about becoming a mother and being able to walk the same dirt tracks and land you did during your childhood, with your own child. It’s a feeling of connection with the land, your ancestors and the days spent, free, wild and young.

I never understood this growing up in the city, sans child. But now, this overwhelms me.

I could sense all of this, when I was told stories of Petrisse’s childhood spent on this farm. I could see her pride as she taught her own son about life on the land.

This is something incredible, words can’t do it justice really. These photos may get close….
