This collaborative photojournalism essay on family life is inspired by the hope to make real family life and childhood more visible. This pop-up photo booth is a powerful glimpse into all the ways that families take shape and experience phases, moods, and imperfection - both individual and collective.

A huge thank you to our photographer .photo for volunteering her time as a generous gift to Birth Roots.
