We are looking to feature ALL types of family imagery from a diverse group of photographers + subjects. We don't care about labels like 'light + airy' 'fine art' or 'dark + moody.' we don't care if it's film or digital, editorial or documentary, a family of 4 or 17.

We want to see imagery that is visionary + inspires others to
tell a story of family life that's deeper than pretty. 

Photographers of color and from marginalized communities
are especially encouraged to submit.

We are especially interested in imagery that features subjects of varying abilities, skin colors, body shapes and sizes, and family compositions.

As photographers ourselves we also know how time consuming it can be to submit images for feature - get ready for the EASIEST submission process of your life, m'love. ;)
