I were invited to capture this strong woman and mother and her new family.

Do you remember how you felt as the feeling of being a mother for the first time sank in?

There is a lot written on the joy of motherhood – the moment they first held their bundle of joy is an indescribable feeling – many a mother have recounted later. No matter how many times you read a book about pregnancy and parenting books – nothing prepares you for the real thing.

For many mothers it might have been a long wait, for others an unexpected joy, for some it might be triple the joy (and triple the trouble) with the arrival of triplets, for some it might have been a life-changing decision of becoming a single parent or the story of adopting a baby. Whatever might have been the backstory to your journey into motherhood – each story is unique.
