I don’t think mothers realize how much of their children’s future memories are built in the smallest everyday moments that seem unimportant right now.
After nearly 17 years photographing families, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing motherhood in so many different forms. I’ve photographed exhausted new moms, joyful moms, overwhelmed moms, sentimental moms, healing moms, single moms, first-time moms, moms with babies suddenly taller than them.
And no matter what season they were in, one thing has always stayed the same, the way mothers love ❤️. In the comforting, the protecting, the worrying, the remembering, the carrying, and the showing up over and over again, even on the hard days.
I really think so much of what children carry with them for the rest of their lives is built in these ordinary moments that can feel so repetitive while you’re living them. The way you make them feel safe, loved, comforted, and at home in the world.
Happy Mother’s Day to the women who are constantly giving so much of themselves to the people they love. I hope today you feel appreciated for all the things you do that so often go unnoticed 💛
The second to last slide is a photo of my mom and I in the 80s, and the last slide is just a tiny glimpse of some of the incredible mothers I’ve had the honour of photographing over the years.
