This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating not with portraits of motherhood — but with the perspectives of the people living it. Each curator brings a distinct, deeply personal lens — joyful, raw, tender, bold — offering a fresh take on the ways motherhood shapes what we see, create, and care about.
These aren’t stories about motherhood. They’re stories told through it.
Work in Progress
by Jolene Delisle
FOUNDER, THE WORKING ASSEMBLY
“My hope is that these images feel honest and human, inviting others to see that it is not only okay to be a work in progress, it is where the magic lives.”
Hold Music
by Ariel Aberg-Riger
AUTHOR & VISUAL STORYTELLER
“But when I'm at my best as a mom and as a creative, I am tapping into the same thing, I just AM. Fully present, and responding and engaging to what is happening in front of me.”
Feeling Into It
by Dawn Perry
EDITORIAL DIRECTOR, BREVILLE+
“We want to put our kids first but we can't do that without feeding our own desires and reflecting on our own experiences even if it's as simple as declaring a need for pepperoni...on half ;) ”
The Little Moments
by Colie Edison
SENIOR VP, CHIEF GROWTH OFFICER, WNBA
“The need for a village is real — and this collection showcases how important I’ve found it to be to surround motherhood moments with nights out with girlfriends and taking time to get away with my partner. It’s all part of this incredibly special journey I am forever grateful to be on.”
Thriving
by Chelo Segear
PHOTO EDITOR & RESEARCHER
“When my children find joy in something newly discovered, it inspires me to keep exploring this world. It's so lovely to be reminded that joy can be found anywhere, and they inspire me to keep living my best life.”
Stepmomming
by Jamie Yuccas
JOURNALIST & CO-ANCHOR, CBS NEWS
“My stepson has opened my eyes to so many experiences that I never would have participated in if he wasn’t in my life. I get to see mundane things in a new way.”
Present, Now
by Keren Sachs
FOUNDER & CEO, THE LUUPE
“I try to soak up these ordinary (and yet extraordinary) moments with my children: the cuddles and laughter, the tears and frustration. I was drawn to images that felt like those moments - the moments of tenderness, of joy.”
Inspired by Warm(er) Weather
by Ellen Kim
DIR. OF CREATIVE OPS + RESOURCE MGMT, LOVEVERY
“I've seen a huge (positive) shift in empathy and human understanding as a result of motherhood. It has enhanced my ability to process and understand nuanced human emotions, motivations, and perspectives — which has enriched my creative outputs.”
Set the Scene
by Roya Sullivan
VP CREATIVE DIRECTOR, DUGGAL VISUAL SOLUTIONS
“I think more about flow, emotion, and how a design makes someone feel the moment they walk in. With less time to waste, I’ve gotten better at trusting my gut and working smarter.”
