@sdsison_x shares her story & tips

Q1: How did you become a creator?

It all started when I was pregnant with Cruz. I’ve always loved taking pictures so I thought why not document this amazing experience of becoming a mum. I posted photos of my pregnancy journey, maternity clothing and how I felt at that moment in time. A few brands started contacting me to work with them and then it just grew from there.

Q2: What inspires your posts?

My family. I love spending time together and making memories. My grid focuses on parenthood, experiences and reaching milestones.

Q3: What has been your biggest challenge as a creator?

Finding a balance and finding the time. Being a full time mum, as well as working part time and working on my Instagram. It’s not easy.

Q4: And your biggest achievement?

Working with really big brands that we love such as Gap Kids, Mamas and Papas and Annabel Karmel. I never thought in a million years we would be collaborating with these brands.

Q5: What would be your advice to anyone wanting to become a creator?

To just go for it and be yourself. You have to be passionate and consistent.

Q6: Your fave Instagram filter?

I don’t use any Instagram filters. I use lightroom presets and always turn the brightness up.

Q7: Your fave Instagrammers?

I have loads! But my favourite ones would be @joannajohanssonx @the.quinn.girls @mamadrey88 – their family pictures are so cute!!

Q8: Which camera/lighting techniques do you use?

I use my iPhone XS and my Sony A5100. I always take pictures with natural lighting and sometimes use my softbox light if needed.

Q9: What’s your hashtag strategy?

I use anything that relates to the picture or my page such as #mumlife #motherhood

Q10: The best thing about being a creator is…

The opportunities you get, the amazing brands you get to work with and meeting new people!
