Michael Christofas, Redefining Roles (PEOPLE & PORTRAIT 2025)

Becoming a new parent is a roller coaster of emotions, and for Andreas, who is currently on paternity leave and the primary caregiver for his nine-month-old son, Lucas, the ride has been particularly tough. With his wife Anna returning to full-time work, Andreas has been thrown into the deep end of parenthood. He and Anna are trying to embrace the joys and challenges of raising their first child, but the demanding realities of their new life are often exhausting. They are learning, sometimes the hard way, the profound importance of patience as they navigate this stage of their lives.
