Like, I had no idea.

What time do they go to bed now?

What are they eating?

What, you know, I when I'm exhausted physically and emotionally and have just like been documenting these very intense scenes and

Alfred screaming, doesn't want to go to bed.

Lucas wants to watch Netflix when it's past his bedtime.

You know, it's like typical scenes that any parents go through at bedtime.

But the fact is, like, you get out of practice.

I mean, kids change so quickly at that age.

And I was open about that stuff.

You know, I think that it's important to be open about it.

And I'm sure people will criticize me, but the fact is, like, I do my best and this is the reality of our lives.

Yeah.

Well, I think I put an unbelievable amount of pressure on myself, first of all.

I think with that as a starting point, I am constantly pushing myself to work over and above because I knew that I had just become a mother.

I did not want to lose my job as a photographer who could go off and travel still.

And so I was really pushing to be out there.

Yeah, absolutely.

Thank you so much.

Things like that for a woman or a parent who's already processing the life changes and the work changes, to have someone say to you, to your face, like, you will no longer be the photographer you are because you've chosen to have a child, was pretty striking and pretty unbelievable.
