Dear Mothers

Honouring an alternate family

Dear Mothers is a photo book with emotive portraits of single mothers, to honour the innate strength and superpower it takes to raise a child alone. A tangible offering with an intention to help all mothers – single or otherwise. 

In recounting their stories, they share realisations and advice to those on a similar journey. I photographed some in their homes, some in public spaces and posed them how it felt natural. My own portraits, photographs and words are also used to demonstrate the ups and downs of a road less travelled, to demonstrate how it can really feel. Sometimes understanding other narratives can lend itself to a greater sense of support in all forms, like a sisterhood with nuggets of love, light and wisdom.
