Why I Do This Work

I grew up as the youngest in a home shaped by divorce.

There are few photographs of me—and even fewer of me with my mother.

I didn’t have images that showed how I was loved, held, or seen.

That absence stayed with me.

When I entered motherhood myself, I found I was doing it alone.

There was no one documenting the way I softened, stretched, broke open, and became.

No one capturing the quiet, holy moments between me and my daughter.

I hired photographers.

I celebrated every milestone.

But the images were always of her—not us.

Not me becoming a mother.

Not the story of my own transformation.

I realized something:

A child is often celebrated, but the mother—the woman who is changing—goes unseen.

Motherhood is powerful.

It is raw, emotional, and deeply sacred.

I believe every mother deserves to see herself in it.

Not posed.

Not polished.

But as she truly is:

Powerful. Tender. Resilient. Beautiful.

My work is not just about photographs.

It is about witnessing the woman who is becoming a mother—and giving her back the proof of her own strength.

So when you look at your images, I want you to feel awe.

Not just for your baby—

but for you.

You deserve to be remembered too.
