Before And After: Lithuanian Photographer Showed How Motherhood Changes Women

Motherhood changes a woman’s body markedly. But there are also deeper changes that affect the character and outlook. Are they reflected in the face, in the look?

These questions were asked by the Lithuanian photographer Vaida Markeviciute, who dedicated her photo project “Becoming a mother” to this topic. In it, she collected photos of women before and after the birth of the child.

Look at them and decide for yourself: what has changed?
