Somehow I hadn’t even thought of that and it gives me chills since motherhood is a part of the short story that I wrote to go with these images! Almost like the wolf is her mother now 😍

Beautiful! I felt that creative void in both of my pregnancies. There is something I love about the one from behind... the symmetry is pleasing but also it’s pure mystery! Xx

Yes creative void is a perfect way to describe it. It was really jarring, since my drive to make art is such a big part of my identity. I felt really lost without it, but I also think it was good for me to go through that experience - I came out of it with a much clearer idea of what I want to make for me versus trying to please other people.

Absolutely! And I really trusted the creative energy was going into creating a different kind of art... my babies... and since I had Vesper my second, I have never felt more creative!!! Xx

I had actively reminder myself that a lot, that may creativity wasn’t lost, it was just going towards something else. It’s a hard feeling when you’re used to having a whole well to pull from!

Wow! These are breathtaking! I love them all, and #3 stands out as possibly my favorite. That pose feels like she's finally stepped into the skin she was always meant to wear. She's regal, strong, and oh so comfortable with it all. Gorgeous!
