You've photographed the first steps.

The birthdays.

The messy faces.

The ordinary Tuesday afternoons you know you'll want to remember someday.

You've captured their childhood.

But somewhere along the way, you may have noticed something:

You're rarely in the photographs.

And when you are, you're often tired, half-ready, or squeezing yourself into the edge of someone else's memory.

Motherhood can be beautiful.

It can also be consuming.

It changes your priorities, your body, your relationships, your identity and the way you see yourself.

And somewhere inside all of that change is you.
