Becoming Mama: The Importance of Finding Your Special Community

Photographer Talitha Walterfang echoes Emma’s sentiments.

“I loved so much about doing this photoshoot. As a tired, hard-working mum, it’s easy to forget to do something for ourselves, especially getting out and doing something different to our daily routines. There’s that loss of identity that comes with motherhood…but also sometimes the struggle to embrace our full new beauty as mamas. The strength, patience, endurance and limitless supply of love we never knew we had. And how we can remind each other, when we forget. I think the group photo captures that.”
