Adding captions or descriptions to multiple image upload in Laravel

So I am trying to upload images for a project where each image can have its own description or caption. I am trying to do this through the project creation form. Now, everything works except that I am getting duplicate entries in the project_images table because of the nested foreach loop, take a look at the summarised structure of the code Please, specifically the logic in the storProject method if anyone can help I will be forever grateful. Thank you. I am using Laravel with Livewire.

Project Model

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('projects', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->unsignedBigInteger('user_id');
        $table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users');
        $table->string('title');
        $table->integer('budget');
        $table->string('proposed_by');
        $table->string('executed_by');
        $table->string('status')->nullable();
        $table->integer('progress_indicator')->nullable();
        $table->date('starting_date');
        $table->date('completion_date')->nullable();
        $table->string('cover_image')->nullable();
        $table->mediumText('body')->nullable();
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}

Project_images Model

 public function up()
{
    Schema::create('project_images', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->string('images');
        $table->string('caption')->nullable();
        $table->UnsignedBigInteger('project_id');
        $table->foreign('project_id')->references('id')->on('projects')->onDelete('cascade');
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}

The Form

<x-slot name="content">

        <div class="space-y-8 divide-y divide-gray-200  mt-10">

                            @foreach ($projectImages as $key => $projectImage)
