Becoming a parent is arguably the biggest responsibility one can take on. The least we can do in return is thank the folks who brought us up. Enter Lithuanian photographer Vaida Razmislavičė. To express her gratitude for all they've done, Vaida has dedicated an entire series to motherhood.

Becoming A Mother is a photo series that explores how pregnancy and childbirth change a woman. Vaida photographed 33 women before and after they delivered their firstborn, with a particular focus on their eyes.

"For this photo idea, I chose a very simple format, as if I were taking passport photos," she wrote. "I wanted to highlight my model's gaze, taking away everything that would interfere with it (i.e., the belly)."

    Amazing how lighting can chanche the faces. I wonder if they use the same lipstick before and after or if it's a light effect as well.
