LIKHA: Making a Way: Veronica

Growing up in a Filipino family shaped by sacrifice, Veronica learned that success meant stability, gratitude, and a steady paycheck. Her parents left the Philippines as young adults in search of a better life, carrying with them a deep commitment to providing for their family.

Years later, while studying holistic nutrition and searching for ways to support loved ones living with autoimmune conditions, Veronica discovered sound therapy. What began as a tool for her own well-being eventually became a practice she now shares with others.

Through Kasama Wellness, she creates spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and remember that care is not something to be earned.

What moved me most was not only her commitment to holding space for others, but her realization that she deserves space too.

When asked what she is making room for in her life right now, her answer was simple:

“Me.”

LIKHA: Making a Way

Over the next month, I’ll be sharing an intimate portrait series centred on Filipina women who have chosen creative paths — in music, wellness, weaving and textiles.

Growing up, many of us were taught to pursue lives of stability, practicality and sacrifice. Creativity was always around us, but not always seen as something you could build a life upon.

And yet, these women did.

Likha: Making a Way explores identity, process, cultural expectations, resistance, care and what it means to continue creating anyway — and the lives that exist through it.

This project has lived in my heart for the past two years, slowly becoming a deeper connection to my heritage and to the quiet lineage of Filipina women making a way for themselves.

Thank you to my sisters who welcomed me into their worlds. I can’t wait to let these stories breathe beyond us now.

Photographing Erica and her son made me think about the single mothers I grew up around. They carried entire worlds on their backs while still finding ways to make life feel warm, safe and beautiful for their kids.

As a child, they seemed so sure in their footing. So steady and certain. As an adult, I now understand how much grit it must have taken to continue on, especially when options and softness were not always afforded to them.

What moves me most about Erica is not just her strength, but her softness and yearning. The way she still creates warmth. Wonder. Gentleness. Even in a world that can be incredibly callous toward women trying to hold everything together.

That’s what moves me most of all — the love that continues anyway. 🥹❤️

Motherline: Althea

“My mama told me once, ‘Althea, you are the first person I ever loved.’”

She gave birth to me at the same age I gave birth to Anaya.

I thought “mother” would be something I could add to myself.

Daughter.
Sister.
Wife.
Friend.
Mother.

But when they placed Anaya on my chest, I felt my centre of gravity shift to her.

Anaya was born, and so was I.

I am just beginning to learn how to live with my heart outside of my body.

I am so frightened of what it means to love and protect a girl in this world.

I don’t know if I will ever be as strong as my mama.

But I imagine myself standing on her shoulders, hoping fervently I have inherited even a small part of her courage and her grit.

I hope she carries belovedness. That she knows she is loved and cherished before she does anything,
before she was even born. That her belovedness becomes wide and deep and unshakeable.

The other day during baby’s nap, I started sweeping our home with our wallis — and I remembered Lola doing the same thing, and Mama doing the same every Saturday morning.

Holding that wallis, I thought that maybe I could look in the mirror and see them looking back — like I had truly crossed the threshold of motherhood and joined them on the other side.

Motherline — Mandy

“My mom is my best friend.” She said it simply, but I could feel the weight of it.

Relationships that don’t need explaining are built in small moments. Phone calls. Car rides. Laughter. Time spent side by side.

Now, things are changing. A shift. The quiet understanding that memory is not something we can hold onto forever.

So you hold onto what you can. The way she smiles. The way she laughs. The way it feels to stand beside her.

You learn to live in the moment. To say the things you mean. To show love while it can still be felt and received.

And in the middle of that, there is also her daughter. A long-awaited, deeply loved child.

Three generations holding on and letting go. Loving through both.

“I never want to forget how much fun we have together.”

This is what we try to keep. ❤️

I’m Ricky, the eye and heart of Sincerely Image.

I document motherhood and artistry in a way that feels honest, slow and deeply human.

Photography, to me, is a way of remembering.

Of saying this mattered.

Of honouring seasons of life that move faster than we expect.

If you’re a woman who values presence over perfection,
who trusts that the smallest moments often become the most sacred — you belong here.

Thank you for showing up how you do ❤️
