I did my own hair and makeup for this shoot using all natural products — and honestly, I’m really proud of that. It felt important to actually look like myself and not be overdone. A good challenge for myself, although it did add a little extra stress. I learned a lot!
(I also showed up with 10 outfit options, but that’s neither here nor there 😂)
I felt strongly about collaborating with a woman for this shoot and I’m so glad I did. Thank you Ingrid! There’s something special about having the real talk between setups — about life, motherhood, and how we try to balance it all.
I’ve actually stopped calling it balance. It’s more of a counterbalance. A lot of focus here, a little there, barely any over there — and then it shifts, because that’s just life. And somehow it all works out.
Here’s to your authentic and messy and sometimes polished self. 💚
