Observations in Childhood began in 2017 as a means of a grounding practice to help alleviate the overwhelm of being the main caretaker to two small children. Having the camera in my hands forced me to slow down and observe the world around me. More than that, it gave space between the moment and my role as mother; allowing me to become an observer of my world. Capturing these observations on film forces you to move forward as you cannot see what you’ve created until the roll is developed. Young motherhood can be heavy and demanding and it’s easy to get swept into that, capturing these moments on film brought back the color, the sweetness and the light that was there all along.
