Maternity & Motherhood
In constant transformation - mother, baby, child. a moment of stillness. flooded with memories, sacred and fleeting Time.
in endless awe of Motherhood.
The expansion, the unconditional love, the becoming, the dissonance and tension felt between the polar emotions and experiences — it’s undeniably transformative and unique. There is just so much nuance and fragility within the paradigm of Motherhood. To bear witness and document this mother’s work is a privilege that cracks me open every time.

After we shoot the images are uploaded in raw for you to make your selects from. Once edited, they’re delivered to you in color and black and white via online gallery.

HOW IT ALL STARTED
I knew from early on in my photography journey that I wanted to photograph maternity differently. There were so many images out there that just didn’t reflect the way I saw women. I wanted to sense their unique essence and capture their power and beauty in a way that felt symbolic, timeless, artistic, editorial and real. Sometimes, I’m inspired to create a set with thoughtful set design, styling, hair and makeup, for a fashion-forward editorial production. And other times, I prefer to shoot untethered from material aesthetics and simply capture the raw beauty of feminine form. No matter the artistic direction, I value poetic and publication-worthy results. It wasn’t until after I became a mother that I personally felt the impact of just how meaningful and sacred capturing these images would be. I have expanded my work to encapsulate the full motherhood journey, including the loves who are also by our side. It always feels like the biggest gift to create and connect with other mothers. If you’re a mother reading this, it’s my sincere intention to honor your journey, hold space for you to be seen as you are - and, through my lens see how beautiful the world sees you.
