Baby Leona - Celebrating Motherhood- Day 1

There is deep truth to the emotional journey a woman experiences soon after she becomes a Mother. This looks different for all of us but one thing holds true. We have a deep down immediate desire to be a protector and to fulfill our child's needs for safety and security. This kind of love is hard to place into words, but our children have a unique way of showing their "thanks". It may be seen in the way they only look at us, or a happy gaze they place by the sound of mom's voice, or it could be even be by the way they follow us around all day long seeking closeness. Their need for connection is strong and very much seen in the first year of a child's life.

Motherhood's Missing Frame - Ottawa Family Photography

Motherhood's Missing Frame - Ottawa Family Photography

When my seven year old son told me I was missing from our family photos. Simply because I was too busy taking them. I realized I was creating photos for myself and zero for my children. They wanted to see their mother in photos, loving them, playing with them or simply glowing with pride. Born from the inspiration of a child, the missing frame series gives mothers and caregivers a chance to have their photo taken with their child, so they can gift them of a memory of their motherhood. You can learn more about how this project came to life in this entry where my son explained my personal missing frames.

The moment a child falls ill, a parent's heart shatters to a million pieces. You begin running the wheel of worry and feel anxiety build up. There is nothing glamorous about the hours or days to follow as you do everything in your power to make sure your little one feel better. Truth be know, every parent knows there is no rest until good health is restored.
