Meet the Maker: Miss Milly

by Stacyupdated on July 5, 2021July 5, 2021Leave a Comment on Meet the Maker: Miss Milly

I first connected with Theresa through Barbara and the Creativ and Kin podcast (episode linked here). I just knew from listening to the podcast that I needed to connect with this beautiful woman and that I needed some of her beautiful products in my life! I wasn’t disappointed! Connecting with Theresa has been such a …

Meet the Maker: Threads That Bind Us

by Stacyon June 23, 2021June 23, 2021Leave a Comment on Meet the Maker: Threads That Bind Us

To say that I absolutely loved this shoot would be a huge understatement! Emma and Leila have supported me since before I even knew how to use a proper camera. How lucky am I?! So, they were naturally the first people that I thought of when deciding to do a “Meet the Maker” mini series. …

And of course these have all been done by my favourite nail artist Marizelle @in.the.buff.nails

  • This is my why ❤️ Give it a listen and then let's chat; comment below or pop me a DM 🥰

Growing up, I loved to pour over my parents’ photo albums. Those spiral bound ones with what I can only describe as contact plastic holding the polaroids and snapshots in place. I would point to them and ask:

Who is this?

Who was that?

Why am I naked, wearing only a pair of wellington boots?? (Yes, there is such a photo)

And there weren’t just the photo albums. There were also boxes stuffed to the brim; photos collected through the decades, from photos of my brother and I all the way through to generations long gone. Most photos with handwritten notes on the back giving names and dates, and if lucky, a location. I may not have recognized all the people, but I could create stories around them in my mind’s eye.

Which brings me to why I’m driven to capture these moments for you: I want you and your children and your children’s children to pour over these images and remember the day, the love, the laughter, the joy you shared and have those stories told.

Moms, I want you in the photos: As a daughter, I know the importance of having those memories with your mom documented; as a mother who is not always confident in her body, I know that being camera shy is a real thing, but this is important!

I want your grandkids to ask you about that party, that hug, that laughter: Granny, why was Grandpa tickling you? Great-Gran, is that really what Granny did as a child?? I want to give you these oh-so-important treasures, that become heirlooms, to hand down to generations to come so that they too can pour over them, remembering times spent with you and, for further generations, creating their own stories from them. ❤️
