There’s something so beautiful about witnessing a woman’s journey through motherhood — not just once, but again and again. I first photographed Mekida when she was pregnant with her third baby, and it was such a joy to welcome her back for a family session in Richmond Park, this time with all three of her little ones in tow.

These are the moments I hold closest: when a mother steps back in front of the camera, not just as a parent, but as herself — the same, yet different. More grounded. More whole. And somehow more radiant than ever.
