Motherhood. It will lift you up, fill your heart with joyful love all the while throwing you a mix of challenges. It’s a beautiful mess of growth and I am blessed to see it blossom for so many wonderful women.

If you’ve followed for a while you would of seen the images from The Missing Frame Project capturing moms and babies in candid black and white photos. I’ve now invited moms who’ve participated to share their stories so that more women hear their voices and find comfort in knowing the uniqueness of each of our motherhood experiences. I am thrilled to begin publishing these stories in blog features over the Summer. I invite you to check back or if you find it easier bookmark my photo blog and enjoy a daily read.

Please leave comments and share the love for the courage they’ve taken sharing their story.
