Everyone has drawn one of those 'picture perfect' families; you know the ones with a husband and a wife (both with smiles nonetheless), a boy and a girl child and then usually a dog as well.

About a month ago I had the pleasure of meeting Bethany Amanda, an Ottawa photographer based out of Stittsville.

This motherhood thing really never gets to a place where it feels normal to me. I'm not sure if it's supposed to get to that place, but if it is- I'm not there. I watch moms in the mall, at the park, on the plane, anywhere and some of them look so normal, like it's... Continue Reading →
