This is the beautiful ann shot for #onedayyoung . I always felt guilty about how rushed this session was as I had to race back to pick the kids from school. That has been the reality of shooting this series with available daylight, no warning when the next shoot will be,snatches of time to do a portrait and capture something special. I realise now, that there was always a low level anxiety and adrenalin of being on call. I dont know how midwives live with that full time. Everytime the phone beeps your body involuntarily prepares itself to spring into action. #notintheeditbutnolessimportant

Here's the fabulous @katybeale with Ada #onedayyoung , such a treat to meet this powerhouse of a woman. #notintheeditbutnolessimportant It's no bad thing having Katy on your side, she is a generous proactive campaigner who has been an amazing support to women in the borough helping with the volunteer Hackney Homebirth group amongst other projects. Someone I now often turn to for advice.

Here's laura @birdandbeast and Finn for #onedayyoung . This is why I need to do an exhibition of the series as it actually pains me to look at this image knowing it had to be dropped from the final edit of the book... Not because I didn t love it but just to create the right balance of diversity among the women. Laura was on and off my wall layout more times than any other picture. The last few decisions were pretty excruciating as it feels like you are dropping someone but as I say #notintheeditbutnolessimportant Hope to make it up to them by having a huge print in a gallery soon.

This Nicky and Oscar. I shot the very early in the # onedayyoung series. They had found my leaflet somewhere in Hackney and happily responded to it. I was pretty bowled over by how friendly they were inviting a stranger into their home literally Ten minutes from returning from the hospital. Bag still in the hall. This feeling of being accepted into the heart of a strangers family was repeated over and over again in over 150 families over five years... I have to admit it changed me, knocked off some hard edges and it's something I miss. #notintheeditnolessimportant

Clare had just moved back from Africa where she had been working as a nurse, pretty much a week before I shot her for #onedayyoung she was slightly disorientated as you can imagine but excited about settling back into hackney life and creating a home for her young family #notintheeditbutnolessimportant
