#tellher
In northern Minnesota, Duluth Moms Blog is known for providing written blog posts and cultivating relationships through our online social media platforms. We jump at the chance to connect with our readers in person as often as is possible! This spring we had our annual Bloom event, where we celebrated all walks of motherhood and provided valuable local resources to new and expecting moms.
This year a local photographer, Michaela Rai, added value to Bloom through her “Tell Her” photo booth experience. She showed up to Clyde Iron Works in style with her beautifully designed backdrop and #tellher sign. When guests arrived at her booth, they were encouraged to pick a handwritten message from one of the many envelopes posted on the backdrop. As guests sat down to read what was written on their note, Michaela photographed them, capturing their reaction towards what they were reading. After the message soaked in, the participating women were encouraged to write a note to put back in the empty envelope, intended for the next participant. These notes were written along the themes of motherhood, womanhood, self- confidence and positive self-image.

A Note from Michaela
“I am totally in love with beautiful, honest storytelling. I want to show you as you truly are and document the story as it really happened. If I can be a part of the cause for better acceptance of ourselves, as we were created to be, and of our lives, with their ups and downs, then I have done what I was meant to do. The purpose of this booth was to draw women together in their common experiences, in woman- and motherhood, pregnancy and birth, and to encourage each other through our shared experience. Enjoy!” – Michaela
