Becoming a mother



There is something deeply beautiful about the season between who you have always been and who you are becoming.

Pregnancy changes so much — your body, your emotions, the way you see yourself, and slowly, the shape of your life. Somewhere between preparing for a new little person and carrying all these changes, it can be easy to forget the woman who is going through it all.

This is about her.

The woman she is right now.

The body carrying and creating life.

The softness, strength, uncertainty and beauty that can exist all at once.

Through these photographs, I want to bring her into nature, where things are allowed to grow, change and become in their own time. I want to capture her honestly, but also show her the most beautiful version of herself — not because she needs to become someone else, but because she deserves to see what is already there.

One day, she will look back at these photographs and remember more than how her body looked.

I hope she remembers who she was becoming.

That she mattered in this story too.

Before she held her baby in her arms, she was already becoming their mother.
