How do you currently feel about your body?
I have so much more love and respect for my body than ever before after having children and what it means to truly take care of me. The biggest shift happened when I really started to tune in and listen to what my body needs. Prioritising whatever that was, which gave me the confidence to feel good in my body. What I have learnt is it really does take a deep level of self care and consistency, whatever that may look like for you.
What was the intention behind your shoot?
For me I was really wanting to connect with my feminine "soft" side. I am very much in my masculine energy most of the time so I wanted to explore and embrace the parts of me that I am needing to step into more. Having that awareness really helped me during the shoot, feeling into that energy. It helped me to see myself in a different light and that my soft feminine does exist.
What advice would I give to other women on this journey?
I would say wherever you are in your journey, you will never be this version of you again. It is such a beautiful opportunity to experience, honour and reflect on where you are at, to honour your feminine side, and explore different sides of you that you may not know exists. To surrender to any vulnerability around it as you'll walk away from this experience feeling empowered and proud for giving it a go.
What was the best part of your shoot?
Gosh there were so many beautiful moments throughout the whole shoot. On reflection, I think one of the best parts had to be exploring different sides of myself whilst being in nature in a fun and playful environment. Dressing up embracing my feminine side. There were so many elements to the overall experience that made it so wholesome. From start to finish.
