This photo series is to showcase the beauty in accepting our bodies after childbirth.

I started this project last year as I was inspired by the many women in the modelling industry who continue to break societal norms to encourage us to be kind to ourselves and to love our body regardless of the changes that they go through after childbirth.
The purpose of the series is to Deconstruct societal norms that our value is based on appearance and we should instead care for ourselves and grow resilient to these unacceptable messages that our worth should be tied up in our weight.
