Family photography has traditionally been the lowest rung on the photography ladder. Not as cool as wedding, fashion, or commercial photography, family photographers have been relegated to little more than button pushers serving the masses.
This reflects the patriarchal structure that runs on the unpaid, unseen labor of parents - especially mothers. Society cannot value what it cannot see.
We rage against this machine by witnessing + spotlighting the holy work of parenthood and family life through art.
