‘Perfect Imperfections’ photo series celebrates moms

“The days would ebb back and forth between grieving my previous physique, to truly understanding and battling to find strength in the fact that I’ve grown two babies in that body,” she wrote.

With each photo, she asked the moms to reflect on what the experience meant to them.

Moms are shown clad in simple undergarments, celebrating their new, amazing bodies.

Some moms still have babies on board.

Others are photographed holding one or more of their children.

All are amazing.

The photos show the love these beautiful mothers have for their children — and for themselves.

It took a lot of bravery to get in front of the camera, but we’re glad they did.

While she initially wanted to reach around 16 women for her inital project, more than 30 responded.

In addition to taking the photos, she wanted to pose herself so she’d know how they felt in front of the camera.

Each photo is as stunning as the next.

It’s so hard to come to terms with our bodies after we’ve given birth.

But as our children love us, so should we as well.

The photos show a very neutral, soft style that allows each mother and child to shine through.

Erika’s baby looks so happy here, and so does she.

Each moment our kids were within us, and when they came out, is reflected on our body in some way.

Some moms pose alone.

While getting photographed in underwear may be overwhelming, it’s obvious that Ker-Fox is able to work some serious magic with her subjects.

The light falls on these moms and children, making them glow.

Some moms nurse their little ones.

And Ker-Fox plans to expand the scope of the project — for example, here is a little girl who has spina bifida.

We’re all moms, inside and out.

Celebrating the way we are is an amazing thing to do.

It’s hard work growing a child.

There is no reason we shouldn’t be proud of that.

Ker-Fox did an amazing thing, and each mother here is proud of the part she played.

“It’s so hard to put into words how this experience has made me feel,” writes Taylor. “If I had to sum everything up in 1 word it would be influential, this is something that I hope will have an impact on my daughter and her own body image for years to come!”
