Helen Sheehan
At Ten
The maternal instinct is very strong and while it is inevitable that a child will grow up, there are times when a mother wishes she could hold onto the present forever. While it is only natural that parents enjoy watching their children acquire the skills for adulthood, there is also a sense of sorrow as we mourn the loss of childhood. This series of portraits explores how a mother views her ten year old daughter's transition from childhood into adolescence. Taken over the course of a year, these images document not only the child, but also the mixed emotions of a mother as she sees her little girl slowly begin the wondrous journey towards womanhood.
