In the wake of Hurricane Matthew, a remarkable photo shoot emerged showcasing eight radiant moms-to-be, thanks to the circumstances brought on by the storm. Photographer Lila Green, inspired by the events of October 2016, shared stunning images on her social media platforms, highlighting the resilience and beauty of these women.
As the hurricane approached the Lowcountry, a mandatory evacuation was enforced, leaving many residents to find shelter in their homes. Lila recalled, “During the storm, many people had to stay indoors, and while some stayed busy with household tasks, others found themselves in a more intimate setting.”
With the power out and the atmosphere filled with uncertainty, Lila decided to reach out for what she humorously termed “hurricane moms.” “I put out a call for expecting mothers who might have found themselves in this unique situation,” she explained. The response was overwhelming, with many eager to participate in the photo shoots that would celebrate their pregnancies, which began during the storm.
Lila noted that while a few of the mothers knew each other beforehand, most were meeting for the first time during the shoots. “It was heartwarming to see them bond and support one another,” she said. A group was created for them to continue connecting, making it a space for shared experiences and encouragement throughout their pregnancies.
As a testament to the miracles that arose from the destruction, Lila reflected on the joy that came from the chaos. “Despite the damages caused by the hurricane, eight beautiful lives were conceived, and I felt it was essential to capture this moment,” she added.
Looking ahead, there’s anticipation for a follow-up shoot once the babies arrive. “Absolutely! I would love to organize a reunion shoot for the hurricane babies,” Lila affirmed, hinting at the blossoming friendships that may last a lifetime.
