Recently, I was honoured to be asked to be a photographer for Dove Canada’s new Baby Dove campaign.  Alongside two other documentary photographers, Lynsey Addario and Ami Vitale, I was tasked with capturing the real day-to-day moments in the lives of two Ontario moms, Sabrina and Ashley. It was intense – but I loved every second of it. From the early morning hours, to mealtimes, to naptimes, shopping trips and outings, tantrums, cuddles and bedtime, I was privileged to be there for all of it. These moms are BRAVE. Their lives are now “out there” for the world to see. But they did it so they could show other moms that they are not alone. That we do not have to be perfect to be amazing moms, we just have to be real.

Thank you, Sabrina and Ashley, for allowing me this sneak peek into your lives. For being vulnerable and open and courageous and showing your daughters what it means to be a #beautifullyrealmom.
