Today is a great example of how my worlds collide. My daughter and I are doing a photo shoot tomorrow for an article that VAIN Magazine is doing on me and BlueShoes Media. I am so very excited about this and honored to be asked to participate.
I work in media all day. I dole out advice to my clients regularly about their photos, how they came across in the last interview and have been known to say things like "please, don't wear your hair like that again on television, it may work in real life but on camera it doesn't do you justice." Oh how the tables have changed. I am usually very laid back but have spent most of the last two days looking for that perfect outfit that represents me to a T and shaves off 10 lbs. Half way through my frenzy today I stopped and asked myself "What am I doing? Why am I so stressed on this?"(literally, out loud in Banana Republic as I downed the rest of my third double-tall americano). I mean, what message am I sending to my little one? I am blessed to be receiving this coverage, and it's not for my appearance, it's for my accomplishments! Reality check.
Ironically, I just posted a tip on quality photos on my Music Publicity Blog yesterday.
Now, it is true that my daughter does not HAVE to be in the photo with me but honestly she's such a HUGE part of my journey, it would be dishonest not to include her.
I give thanks to the clarity received from this great opportunity.
