One Day Young
For more than five years, Jenny Lewis has been photographing mothers and their babies within twenty four hours of birth in Hackney and more recently she has supplemented these with a series of portraits from Malawi. I can think of no better way to begin the New Year than this contemplation of the joy, resilience and intimacy of motherhood.

Thank you, GA, for reminding one rather grumpy middle aged matron that….all is good. You have perked me up no end. I hope you are on the threshold of yet another excellent year.
I adore the photo of Gitta & Til there is something about it that captures motherhood ..
Beautiful (and tired) madonnas all!
I think Baby Johannes smile is one that will cheer me all year long.
Welcome, New Citizens of the World! (and well done, Mums)
Bewitching new life in a new year!

Fantastic celebration of life. And hope. I wish all there is to wish for for all these lives, especially those in Malawi.
Amazing to see how “simple” photographs of a mother and her newborn could show so much variety – truly beautiful and spell-binding to look at. Wishing you all the very best for 2016, gentle author 🙂 Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace
Lovely lovely pictures. The ‘joy, resilience and intimacy of motherhood’ is just right.
Keep that camera clicking on new life,showing the eyes of mother and child whose eyes all look to the future with hope and optimism.
Wonderful.
No words. Just beautiful.
