I chanced upon photography after I became a mother myself and the one thing I always missed was that I had no one to take a picture of me with my daughter. Something special... something that spoke of what we share. That feeling inspired me and so when I took the camera I decided to depict motherhood in its many forms through my work.

Now wherever I travel in the world, I make sure to photograph mothers everywhere. I call it my "motherhood project". The one thing that runs through all of my motherhood shoots is that I don't have to ever pose the mothers. I just ask them to hold their child and it is simply magical what emotions are reflected in every frame.

There is something so truly magical about the love of a mother and her child.

I can imagine the animals doing the same thing at Jesus' birth! :) <3

I was thinking how we've seen, in real life or just in photos, little nursing lambs with the mother sheep. But how often have sheep been able to come close enough to observe a human with her baby. They look so curious and I'm certain they know that it's a baby. There's a real rapport between the sheep and mom with her baby. I love this one! Rightly deserves to be most voted

    It's so simple, it's lovely, they look like they've gone outside to see the sunrise. Yet also reminds me a bit of Les Mis, Cosette and her mother....

    It's not often that I find myself thinking: Nice random chicken placement. But, totally just did. So sweet.
