Hey all!<\/p>\n

I am doing an ongoing portrait series about women who choose not to have children, and I would like to invite you to share your story with me.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to hear from women who have always known they didn\u2019t want kids, and from those of you who have decided more recently. I want to know what brought you to this decision, whether that\u2019s the experiences or events of your life, ethics or beliefs that you hold dear, or just the knowledge that motherhood isn\u2019t for you. I\u2019d like to learn about your life, about how you choose to spend your time, and about the passions you\u2019re free to pursue as a childfree woman. I believe that everyone has a story to tell, and I want to hear yours.<\/p>\n

For this project I have three main goals. I want to shine a spotlight on childfree women, who are elsewhere overlooked or judged for their choices. I want to explore the issues faced by these women, and the issues that have led them to their decision. And, in doing so, I want to help to remove the stigma often attached to women who don\u2019t plan to have kids.<\/p>\n

As a childfree woman myself, I believe that people who choose not to have children are no different from people who choose to have them. Through my Childfree portrait series, I want to show that women who have made this decision are normal, vital and can lead lives just as fulfilling as any mother\u2019s<\/span>.<\/span>Through a sensitive interview, accompanied by flattering photography, I promise to do justice to your story.<\/p>\n

How you can help:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you fit this description, please consider being part of this project. I\u2019m a professional photographer and a sympathetic ear, so trust me\u200a\u2014\u200aI\u2019ll make you look good! Just apply using this form<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. If you know someone who\u2019s decided to remain childfree, and might be interested in talking to me, just forward this to them. If they\u2019re interested, please ask them to apply using this form<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    From there, I\u2019ll reach out to schedule a Skype interview and a photoshoot in your home, or wherever you feel most comfortable.<\/p>\n

    It would be amazing if you could share this far and wide. I know there are lots of women out there who are living their best lives without children, and I appreciate your help in reaching them. This topic is near and dear to me, so thanks for taking the time to read and share this.<\/p>\n

    Thanks a lot!<\/p>\n
