To the moms today —

The new moms in the quiet, sleepless hours. The seasoned moms watching their babies grow taller than them. The moms whose arms ache for someone they can’t hold. The moms missing their own mom today.

The moms who became moms through adoption, fostering, surrogacy, or sheer force of love. The bonus moms and stepmoms. The aunties, grandmas, and mother figures who stepped in when someone else stepped out.

The moms in the thick of it. The moms waiting through cycles, paperwork, prayers, hope. The moms who lost babies the world never got to meet. The moms estranged, the moms healing, the moms simply trying.

I see you today. Motherhood in every form is sacred, and so are you.

Happy Mother’s Day. 🤍

I’m Shanlee, a Calgary maternity, newborn, and family photographer documenting the bump-to-baby season for moms who want their real life remembered. Golden light, in-home moments, and the kind of photos that hold the weight of who you were in this exact season of motherhood.
