24 HOURS. HUNDREDS OF MOTHERS. ONE EXTRAORDINARY PORTRAIT.
Introducing The Womb & The Will, a powerful collective portrait of motherhood by artist Kikelomo Solomon-Ayeni, and an official Guinness World Records attempt to create the largest mother-and-child photoshoot.
The 24-hour photography event will take place at Arleston Hall, Derby, from 4 pm on Friday, 4 December, until 3:59 pm on Saturday, 5 December 2026.
Each participating family will have two photographs taken:
📸 Frame I – The Womb: A tender expression of closeness, connection and the bond between mother and child.
📸 Frame II – The Will: A portrait representing strength, identity and the journey of standing confidently in the world. 
Together, hundreds of individual family portraits, captured under the same light, will form one extraordinary artistic statement celebrating motherhood.
Who can participate?
Mothers with at least one child under the age of 18 are welcome. You can bring one child or all your children.
Participation is FREE!
