Why 2015 Was the Year of the Postpartum Body

Natalie McCain, a Floridian photographer and mother of two, created The Honest Body Project to help women learn to love their bodies and themselves. Inspired by Humans of New York, each of Natalie's portraits is accompanied by a moving story from the women in the photos. Natalie understands that these moms' photos and honest quotes are going viral because every woman has insecurities about her body, especially post pregnancy. She said:

The portraits I take are only half of what makes this project powerful because the backbone of the project are these amazing stories the women share with me.
