“Pregnancy’s a moment in a woman’s life when it’s really important to still feel seductive. I loved that my mum dressed me sexy like that.”

“I still dress how I used to dress and sometimes people look at me weird on the street, as if because I’m pregnant I stop being a woman. That’s really something I want to make a point of: that I’m going to be a mother but I’m still a woman, I still want to feel good about myself and feel pretty.”

“I haven’t worked with my mum in a long time, it was such a special moment, this shoot was such a nice way to spend time with my mother.”
