Keeping up with the Andersons

Amy, Liliana and Earl Anderson pose for a portrait in their new apartment in Athens, Ohio, December 3, 2015.

I met Earl Anderson over a year ago. He let me into his life and allowed me to tell his story, documenting what life is like for young parents. Earl and his wife, Amy, had Liliana when they were 20. A year later, Lily has begun walking and has grown up so much. Amy is continuing taking classes in pursuit of a mechanical engineering degree. Earl is busy caring for Lily and finishing with their move into a new, bigger apartment. The family is doing great and I appreciated being able to catch up with them. It’s great to be able to meet so many amazing people, learn from their stories and form friendships with them that last. It’s people like the Andersons that make me enjoy what I do and allow me to truly appreciate the storytelling power of photography.
