It’s a feeling like no other, to know that the deepest love your heart is capable of will happen when you become a mother. I’ve never loved anything like I love my children. A portion of my heart opened up that I didn’t even know I had. Nothing moved over, nothing got replaced, it was a whole new real estate in my soul that was made just for me, becoming a mother.
Life changed for me, my perspective changed. I started to view life differently as cliche as it sounds. I knew from then on, I wanted to capture that for other mothers. Those in-between moments that you wish everyone saw. The way you look at their eyes, the way you watch them be. The way they giggle, make you chase them, jump all over you. The sloppy kisses, the tiny toes, the smell of their hair.
I also remember the moments leading up to giving birth. Being so in love with the idea that my soon to be earth side child was safe with me. I could protect them from anything. Its tangible moments fleeting by that go oh so quickly. You want time to slow down but it goes so fast. Having someone freeze time for you, document the moment, capture the feeling - it’s important. You don’t realize until the moment is gone, just how much you need these memories to look back on. I can look back on photographs when my children were just a few months old and remember seconds before I took the photo, they giggled for the first time. I remember their first smile. I remember the shirt they were wearing, I remember what box I put it in when it outgrew them.
These moments are special. No matter the age, no matter the stage of life, let me be there to capture it for you.
This is for the mothers.
