Portraits of Motherhood
About this project:
This project explores the intersection of motherhood, memory, and time through the medium of film photography. Women and mothers often feel invisible in the work that they do, because in a lot of ways it is “invisible” and behind-the-scenes. I deeply long to create a space where women can share their voices and feel seen and understood in their experiences.
By pairing my portraits of mothers with their own written reflections, I create a dialogue between image and text, where photography and storytelling come together to honor the complexity and beauty of motherhood. I am drawn to the quiet, everyday moments that reveal depth and emotion — gestures, light, and atmosphere that often go unnoticed.

Motherhood: A Self-Portrait, My Story
My “Motherhood Self-Portraits” project explores an act of vulnerability—getting in front of the camera, but also what it means to be both connected and free in motherhood. For example, feeling invisible in motherhood, longing for myself within motherhood, and the intimate love and connection that is motherhood. It’s sometimes so intimate and intertwined, that you don’t know where they end and you begin. The process of putting this together has been so healing and helped me to acknowledge my experience, my feelings, and express them through photographs instead of burying them deep inside.
