Some people come into my life for one brief hour and I never see them again after a shoot. More commonly, though, are people who have journeyed with me as I started out as a full-time photographer while navigating motherhood and living out different stages of life in the same town I grew up in. I’m proud to have this tribe of women as part of my work life for the past 15 years. I have watched their children grow and change and have marvelled with them how the shifting nature of motherhood marks us so vividly.
Kim is one of those ladies that I don’t see often but who is so warmly familiar to me. We started taking photos together when her sons were just babies and I have always enjoyed her carefree approach to having her photos taken.
She is remarkably unselfconscious and easygoing which, over the years, has enabled me to take meaningful and natural moments of her with her boys.
We took these pictures at her smallholding which is currently a site of adventuring for her sons and a place to spend family time outdoors.
