MOTHERHOOD

"When you were born, I knew straight away that, above all things, I want you to be happy.
So I turned my skin into the safest place for you to sleep and dream on.
Your heartbeat is all I‘be listened and danced to since you entered my life.

The truth is - there is no framework for being a mother and no metronome able to dictate the pace at which two simple syllables – Ma-ma – makes a Mama find her way.
But sure as, I will do what only mothers can do: love a human being - you -  unconditionally."

Deepest thank you.

I want to thank everyone who was part of this beautiful mother's day campaign. I am beyond grateful for having being able to involve such talented and kind human beings in this project.

Tim and Emma, thank you for helping me to make my vision come true. The artistic flair that you incorporated into the visuals you took makes every single sequence original, and candy to the eyes that I’ll cherish every day. 

Yuumi, thank you for sharing these intimate and authentic moments between you and your adorable son. I wanted nothing more than to capture authentic moments which would showcase the beautiful and tender bond between mother and child. It was an absolute pleasure capturing that with you two.

Laura, thank you for your genuine support and for highlighting the natural glow and beauty of Yuumi and Keijyu. 

John, you are one of a kind. I am so grateful for your time and soul. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me and letting me learn from you.
