Becoming a mother hasn't necessarily changed how I shoot, but it certainly has made me more sensitive, and it certainly makes it much harder for me to photograph dying children.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Motherhood has brought me many joys and insights, but the new perspective it granted me on the role I had inadvertently played in young women's lives for the 2 decades I spent in the modeling industry was downright sobering.
Motherhood has made me a much better person. I see everything from a new perspective - with a sense of wonderment.
Being a mother adds another emotional dimension, a feel for children that I didn't have before I had one. They were a pain before.
Being a mother changes perspective. Things that were once really important, the sole focus of your life, aren't the same.
It's just kind of empowering when you become a mother. You just get overwhelmed with this new confidence and you feel really in control of your life. It's been beautiful.
As a mother, you feel much more vulnerable. And when you're vulnerable, you're a much better actress.
I don't know if there's any change more significant that a human being can make than that of a woman becoming a mother. There's no change more dramatic.
Becoming a mother has been the best thing ever for me. It's become my life's work. Not just parenting, but sharing information and encouraging other women to be receptive to the basic nature of motherhood.
Being a biological mother just isn't part of my experience this time around. However, I am a mother who continues to give birth to ideas and ways of experiencing life that challenge the norm.
Motherhood has most definitely changed me and my life. It's so crazy how drastic even the small details change - in such an amazing way. Even silly things, like the fact that all of my pictures on my cell phone used to be of me at photo shoots - conceited, I know! - but now every single picture on my phone is of Mason.
