I've always wanted to be a mom

Forewords by documentary photographer Guillaume Blot and journalist Juliette Prime, a specialist in fertility and assisted reproduction.

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A MOM explores an intimate and often overlooked side of motherhood. Through a sensitive and poetic lens, the author sheds light on the emotional journey of perinatal loss, fertility treatments, and the long wait that often comes with them.
A necessary book, one that will deeply resonate with anyone who has experienced or supported others through these challenges.

VALENTINE DE VILLEMEUR is an artist and photographer based in Paris. Working with analog film, often in medium format, she documents everyday life, its stories, its textures, its quiet moments.
Following Heritage, her acclaimed project in Ireland exploring the bond between people and place, she now turns inward. With this first autobiographical work, she explores themes of intimacy, uncertainty, and resilience.
