We are PUMPED to have interviewed @lovingelliesbelly aka Ellie Haines and asked her "What beauty means to you" for our blog series. We asked why she started her self-love instagram & what is all about. She is hilariously honest and open about her daily struggles which many of her followers relate to. We were lucky enough to have her involved in our very first indigo & iris shoot where she applied levitate mascara oh so beautifully to her lashes.

Wow. Alice is an amazingly talented singer and all-around good human being. We are so happy to have interviewed her as part of our "What does beauty mean to you?" blog series. She gets REAL with her answers, and suggests some epic reading and listening content - this is not one you want to miss.

"[my biggest fear] is falling into the trap of “I can’t” or “too scared” and getting so worried about what other people will think."  This interview with Seung-woo Hong aka Suggie is photo heavy because he is an incredible creative genius who takes the most epic photos and videos. We ask Suggie about his upbringing in the beautiful town of Nelson, his inspirations and what beauty means to him.

Aasha (@glittergirlclub), her work is beautiful and we have been lucky enough to have levitate mascara worn in some of her shoots. She is an ambivert from South Auckland and we love her. 

if you can embrace everything you think is "wrong with you" and actually love those parts of yourself, then you are the most beautiful woman ever.
