I am a birth mother and I have an open adoption with my son. He turns 7 on April 19th, and it’s been the hardest, but most rewarding 7 years of my life. But fuck. Has it been a rough journey. I’m looking at our session as one of the last steps of shedding the pain that comes with being a “childless mother”, having the physical traits of having carried a child, without raising them. It’s been a tragically beautiful journey trying to find peace within it all.. (body and mind) and I can’t imagine anyone else capturing it .

What Taylor wrote me when she inquired for a virtual session… so much love for this strong ass woman as she painted her skin that once stretched over her belly full of her son.
