Does the term influencer make you cringe?
It makes me cringe too, until I remember that I sometimes fall under that category.
It's hard to pass up an opportunity to make a little bit of money doing something I enjoy--creating content. I'll admit I don't make a lot of money with most opportunities, but I do have a lot of fun writing posts and taking pictures for some companies. I started taking advantage of these opportunities when I was pregnant because I didn't have a traditional 9-5 job and was expecting my first child, so every penny helped!
I am now making less money because I am more selective about the products/companies I work with. However, when I do get a chance to work on a new campaign, Luna is always involved in some way. She is usually the one that dictates where, what, when and how we shoot. If she is not in a good mood, we are not shooting at all and have to reschedule.
This particular outfit we shot in an alley where Luna had a lot of space to safely roam around in her walker. I was shooting (I am including affiliate links in which I will receive a small commission at no cost to you if you use my link to purchase) these comfortable and stylish Dr. Scholls sneakers that I ended up falling in love with. The sneakers are made of recycled water bottles and I can wear them all day long. If you are planning on purchasing these, keep in mind they run 1/2 size big, so make sure to size down! They come in 3 different colors: black, portrait (beige) and the color I am wearing is hydrangea which is a mauve pink. I paired my comfy sneakers with some faded black jeans, a lace top, and a cozy oversized cardigan for a transitional fall look.
It's kind of nice having an infant dictate when and how you get to work. My husband and I have to thank our stroller, baby carrier, walker and last, but not least, Baby Shark for allowing us to take some decent pictures. It's not ideal to have a photoshoot while taking care of a baby, but sometimes it means you get some really interesting pictures. With that said, I have also included some photos of Luna working her magic behind the scenes. Enjoy!

You can never go wrong with some wind action. |
|
Sometimes Luna loses a shoe in the middle of a photoshoot. |
|
Sometimes Luna handles serious diaper business...right behind me. |
|
Sometimes instead of smiling, Luna cries. |
|
Sometimes Luna thinks being an influencer is dumb (she might be right). |
|
Sometimes Luna decides she wants to learn the alphabet during a photoshoot. |
|
Sometimes Luna helps adjust a product to get the perfect picture. |
|
and sometimes she just doesn't give a **** about campaign pictures. |
Luna is the cutest model... You look so gorgeous. Your look and your sneakers are very amazing and so comfy. Have a beautiful day Perla. Kisses.

Thank you, but your website isn't working anymore!
DeleteHow cute is Luna scootin' around while you shoot?!
ReplyDeleteI love your look AND your POV on influencing. I'm the same way: I don't love that term and I also feel like there is more to it than just influencing an audience. It's creating, it's story-telling, it's expression- it's not just selling.

DeleteThat's so awesome you guys get to do this as a family affair:) And can't believe how much Luna has grown. I know I've said this before, but you two really do look adorbs:D
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind!
DeleteI don´t love the term Influencer, but in the end I think it is what you make of it. It isn´t my main source of income though, so I don´t think of myself as one.
ReplyDeleteAnne from Doctor Anne
That makes sense. It is definitely not my main source either lol
DeleteBeautiful sneakers, they look very comfortable. But it is very hard look at them when your baby is so cute and sweet.

DeleteI personally don't like to call myself an influencer, although I do believe that I influence women in one way or another. I have enjoyed your campaigns with Luna. She is a natural.

Thank you so much!
DeleteSo cute seeing your daughter photoboming your pics! :)
ReplyDeleteI took all my photos at home with a tripod when my kids were younger so I could keep an eye on them, haha! I can't imaging juggling a camera and a baby and a walker wow!
Now my boys are a bit bigger I might ask my 5 year old to take a pic when we are out, but mostly i stick with my tripod photos at home - our new place has the biggest windows so wherever I stand in the yard I can keep an eye on them inside, haha!
Hope that your week is going well :)
