OUR MISSION
Celebrating childfree lives,
one story at a time.
We are Childfree is community-supported storytelling project that celebrates childfree people, explores our experiences, and dispels the myths the world holds about us. Growing beyond our original portrait series, we now offer a global community for anyone embracing a childfree life, whether by choice, by circumstance, or just curious.
Through this life-changing work, we are committed to fighting stereotypes and strict gender roles; creating a world in which everyone enjoys equality, bodily autonomy, and is empowered to make their own choices, to live authentically.
We believe in everyone’s right to create a life that’s fulfilling to them, and offer a safe space for compassionate conversations about conscious choices. We’re here to connect with our childfree friends, support each other and grow together.
OUR STORY
What began as a personal portrait project has grown into a worldwide community, a global grassroots movement dedicated to destigmatising the childfree choice.
MEET OUR FOUNDER
“Every childfree person deserves to feel seen, heard and connected to community.”
I always knew I didn’t want children, but I felt alone in my choice and I faced judgement from doctors, taxi drivers… even people I loved!
We’ve all heard the negative stereotypes about childfree people, women especially – that we’re selfish, immature, like there’s something wrong with us. I wanted to dismantle these false myths and change how the world sees us, how we see ourselves. So I started photographing childfree women in my studio, and sharing their stories.
What happened next was a revolution! We are Childfree was featured in the New York Times, messages of support started flooding in and my life was changed forever. I knew that I had to keep going, keep sharing our stories and connecting childfree folks together.
Whether you’re childfree by choice, circumstance or just curious, We are Childfree is here for you, cheering you on!
