Ra.
Your post was an inspiration to us, so here is what we did in return
i think these are absolutely beautifu
I just stumbled across this, looking for references for fawns, for a painting I’m doing for a Nursery. I think they’re beautiful. And… Thank you for the shot of your stretch marks! Mostly for what you wrote about them. I’ll never think of mine the same way. I even called my 26 yr old daughter in (also a mom) to read it. SHe thought it was great! Thank You!
Thank you Joyce for the kind thoughts. To not take improper credit, I’ll mention that none of the images are of me or mine; but rather, they were created by the brave and talented artists referenced with each photo. Best wishes.
Fantastic pics. Always wanted to make pics of this sort. If you like, you can (please!) drop into my flickr. I think you search flickr for ‘rruttan.’ I’m trying to get (AHEM!!) serious about making pictures and am eager for feedback. Shameless self-promotion, eh?
I love the bottom picture, of the woman and child in the river. It’s beautiful.
This is a wonderful site it reminds me of all three of my children. It really sings life and all its potenial.It’s awsome. Thanks for sharring.

Hello. I loved your photo of your stretch marks and your ode to them. That was beautiful. You must be a very old soul. Congratulations on the birth of a wonderful baby.
I liked the b&w photo of the mother taking her child for a dip at the shore line. I think that they are beautiful together. Also, I like that the b&w nature of the photo dampens any possible thoughts of sexuality and allows the viewer to focus on innocence of the mother-child relationship. Nice job. Brave woman too, most would not want to display their unclothed likeness, which I completely understand.
SIA: Thank you. Yes, it is so symbolic in so many different ways, and it is one of the best photographs I’ve ever seen.
I was doing a research project on you for photography, and come across these photos. I think that they are so inspiring, and inspirational. I also think that they are absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for everything that you do.
What beautiful photos and verse! I have always wanted to be a mother and was beginning to have fears about it (more to do with the world of today than the whole process), thank you for making me feel brave about it again!
This is an incredibly beautiful and touching series of photos. I’d forgotten the wonder I felt as my sons grew inside their mother so many years ago. But the photo of the stretch marks, and the commentary accompanying it, are absolutely the best. I shared that with my wife, and after 14 years her stretch marks are no longer embarrassing, but something to be proud of. I can’t thank you enough for that.
I love you and baby
It’s all so beautiful. The marks on the belly are proof of a woman’s love.
I just love your pics.. specially the last one!!
and when she has the white dress.
These pictures are so beautiful! Very touching

OneMoreOption: Thank you Samantha. Yes, all those photographers created extraordinary work.
the one of the mother and child is beautiful as is the poem about the stretch marked tummy of love.
I’m a woman, I’m a mother - must definitely leave a comment! Maternity is such a huge event in our lives… Feel there are endless possibilities of moments to capture, all incredible. These portraits are so nice, make me reexperience! Love the one “How we got here” and then the next one (whole body) with the natural smile and the hair held just like we all do any given moment… then the one with the belly: a straightforward cry out loud in evidence - evidence of having experienced one of the most incredible and sublime events in life - having nurtured and protected a new human being forming inside you (lines written below the portrait are indeed beautiful)… And of course, the last one, more nature’s own beauty in expression! Beautiful…
This is beyond expression in words. I stared at the photo and just felt it. I am in tears. Thank you so much. In the face of every child is the possibility of redemption for a fallen world.
Namaste
tooooooooooooooooooooo nice
