the majority vote for chaos in motherhood

Congratulations to Elizabeth. We asked her to share a few words about what this image meant to her. Here’s what she had to say:

A massive thank you to everyone that voted! All the kind words on the comment section were lovely to read and filled me with so much joy.  I absolutely loved looking at all the entries.  And seeing everyones faces.

My shot was taken in the morning light on our family bed. My son, Josh, and I were having a jump around on the mattress. Shhhh don’t tell my partner – being a stay at home mum is hard work. Really, it is. While we were jumping around I grabbed my camera. It was just a fun, chaotic moment I wanted to have forever stored on film. Ahem pixels. I want my son to have memories of him and I enjoying life long after I’m gone. I hope this photograph will do exactly that. Mummy loves you Josh.
