True Beauty & Documenting Parenthood Through Photography with Deborah Barak

What if you could document a “day in the life” of your parenthood journey as it is in this moment?

If you ask me as a mother to a two year old, there’s nothing I’d wish for more than to have my daughter remember the days we have had together. So when I was introduced to Deborah Barak, a Documentary Family Photographer who captures the everyday messy and beautiful in-between moments of parents and children's lives, I was all ears.

After having Deborah in my home to document my and my daughter’s life, I invited her to be a guest on The Expectful Podcast. On today's episode she's sharing her passion for connection and how she's bringing the love between parents and children to life through her photography.

The moments Deborah captured of me and my family which are showcased here in this post will forever be some of the most treasured gifts of my life.
