Photographer Jessica Lehrman has spent years documenting life while it unfolds. Her latest work traces eight years inside her Los Angeles house: pregnancies, loss, new life, all of it. Now sheโs preparing to let that home go, which got us thinking about how much meaning we tie to a placeโฆ and how quickly it can shift. Because home, really, ends up being the people. The friend who shows up with food after an unexpected C-section, the mother-in-law who steps in when your own mother canโt, the relationships that find their way back in new forms. In our latest #GettingSticky, we spoke with Jessica about new life in the face of loss, the pressure to suddenly have it all together, and the reality that most of us are still figuring it out.
Photography by Jessica with creative direction (!!!!!!) by her daughter, Story.
