New York-based photographer Dorie Hagler shared with ABC News a selection of her portraits and testimonies from her me&EVE project that focus on women who are mothers.

Lynee Welles, pictured, told Hagler, "I loved giving birth. I loved the experience of surrendering to the pain and the rhythm of your body that knows how to give life. Both times I went in to the hospital at 8 a.m. and delivered my babies by 3 p.m. It was all in a day's work."
