Inspired by other popular postpartum series by the likes of Jade Beall and January Harshe, Ker-Fox took photos of 16 women for the first series of her project and has made plans to shoot 10 more. “I wanted to represent everybody,” Ker-Fox told _People_ this week. “I didn’t want there to be anybody that saw this project and felt left out.” The project came out of Ker-Fox’s own struggles with her body image. “For the last 9 months I have struggled with my postpartum body,” she wrote on her [website](http://kerfox.com/perfect-imperfections-embracing-and-empowering-positive-body-image-ker-fox-photography-st-francis-midwives-birthsource/), saying she “barely recognizes” her postbaby frame and has struggled with stretch marks, sciatic nerve pain and even an umbilical hernia. Acknowledging that “we as humans all have insecurities and we are all scarred, imperfect and flawed in some way physically and emotionally,” Ker-Fox said she hoped to show the deeper beauty that shines through in women.
