Matryoshka has come to mean “little mother” based on the idea that the outer or largest doll holds her babies inside like an expectant mother and that each daughter in turn becomes a mother. They are symbols of fertility and motherhood.
My parents brought this set of dolls home as a souvenir, and my son was fascinated by them. I recently learned the history of these Russian Dolls or Matryoshka, and love what they represent.
Their meaning represents everything I love to photograph… expectant mothers, babies, children, and families. I am so glad I documented the important stages into motherhood for myself, and would be honoured to help you do the same.
I photograph on location within Winnipeg, and surrounding areas; And offer in- studio sessions, in my home, in Oakbank. Contact me today to book you sessions 🙂
