I am madly in love with these whimsical images by California-based fashion writer & photo stylist / photographer, Heidi Lender. Titled “She Can Leap Tall Buildings“, this clever series is a nod to all super-mums and superwomen of the world. Heidi poses wearing a black wig sporting an occasional prop, representing different roles mums take on.

“I was in seventh grade in the 1970s when my mother went back to work. It was a traumatic event in my tween lifetime, returning from school to an empty house, my best friend suddenly absent with a plateful of priorities other than me. Mom played the roles of wife, mother, daughter, income-earner, independent-thinker, hostess, dinner-maker, family accountant, homework tutor and household organizer without a bat of her mascara’d eyelashes.”- Heidi Lender

“As I move through my own grown-up life with a mountain of responsibilities, I humbly nod to all the superwomen of the world, especially my mother, who amazingly do it all.” – Heidi Lender 

Such a brilliant project, no? Which one is your favourite? I love them all, but find handyman to be the most hilarious of all. Extreme love!
