Romanian photographerMihaela Norocis known for traveling the globe as she photographs women for herAtlas of Beauty.

The result is a thoughtful collection of portraits that show the bond between mothers and their children.

From Vietnam and Indonesia to Iceland and the Netherlands, Noroc’s series highlights the universal nature of motherhood.

As a mother herself, Noroc has first-hand experience with the incredible love that motherhood brings.

She carries this sensitivity to her subject, pulling out the nuances of the individual relationships.

Capturing these relationships, while challenging, was also the most gratifying part of the experience for Noroc.

By sharing her imagery, Noroc hopes to bring a bit of light to a difficult time.

I hope that during these turbulent times, it will bring a ray of sunshine.
