Edmonton Photographers Are Tired of Having Their Work Censored

Edmonton Motherhood Photographers | Hobbs Photography We’re Edmonton photographers who, six years ago, we began our A Mother’s Beauty journey.  We hoped, in some small way, to make a difference in the handful of women we photographed.  To help them feel that they are enough, just as they are.  That they are worthy.  That the...

    A mother’s beauty

    . “I am a firm believer that we need to break the mold that society has built on how moms and postpartum bodies should look….I stopped body shaming myself, and I truly feel comfortable in my own skin now. My body tells a story with every stretchmark. And I love that!” . Amanda, 27 ....

      These pictures are absolutely amazing and I think that all the Mothers are beautiful! ! We need to stop putting a size 0 model as our standard for beauty when in reality we are all much bigger a size! !ReplyCancel

      This brought tears to my eyes! As someone who suffered mild postpartum psychosis I wish it had been around 8 years ago. The message here is amazing and so so important for new and old generations alike. I would be interested in doing a session to support this if you need/want people. :)ReplyCancel

      I don’t understand.. are mothers being body shamed more than any other category of people???

      I’ve never once heard of someone confronting a mother in person and saying “wow you’ve really let yourself go”. But why??

      1st reason: people are cowards, sending a message is way less personal than speaking in person, obviously if you don’t know the person this even makes it a million times easier to shame someone.

      2nd reason: most people don’t walk around in public in a bikini, sure people go to beaches but an online post can see 100x the amount of look-e-lou’s..

      IN CONCLUSION
      Don’t post pictures to social media sites.. ever!!
      what’s the point??
      You obviously want to be judged.. and therefore you will be

      sono italiana,ho 41 anni e due figli.
      da quando 20 anni fà ho avuto il mio primo figlio,il mio corpo si è trasformato.
      io avevo la taglia 38,un corpo sodo e muscoloso per via dello sport.
      la pelle però ha ceduto e la mia pancia si è riempita di smagliature e il mio seno è crollato.
      non mi sono mai accettata,rinunciando al mare coi miei amici per non mostrare il disastro che mi sentoReplyCancel
