BTS of Sunkissed Confidence

BTS – Sunkissed Confidence ☀️

There were passionfruit martinis flowing, endless laughs, and so much beauty, inside and out.

It honestly felt surreal… I was shooting for my own brand. A true pinch-me moment. And to top it off, I wasn’t just surrounded by colleagues, I was surrounded by my friends and family. The people who’ve supported this dream from the very beginning.

It meant everything to have my first Embrace Beauty shoot fronted by my two gorgeous friends, Megan and Kayna. Fun fact: Kayna actually modelled for Embrace back when it was just my uni project, a true full circle moment! It just feels right that they’ll always be the faces of this brand. 

Kate, my angel of a friend, styled the shoot and brought the absolute best energy to set. She's that type of person you feel lucky to know, kind, supportive, and a true girl's girl.
Then there’s Etti, my go-to for hair & makeup and one of the sweetest hype girls you could ask for. We’ve only known each other for a year, but it feels like forever. I wouldn’t want to do this journey with anyone else.

And of course, my mum 🫶 She was right there assisting, making sure we were fed and fuelled with tea, and just generally being her wonderful, supportive self.

We may have had a little hiccup (I forgot my tether wire 🙃), but honestly, the vibes were immaculate. The day couldn’t have gone better, full of sunshine, joy, and women lifting each other up.

Why “Sunkissed Confidence”?
The whole brand is inspired by nature and golden hour, that warm, glowy light that makes everything feel soft, effortless, and beautiful. I’ve always been obsessed with the sun and the feeling of summer, and it just felt right for our first shoot to have this beachy, sunkissed vibe.

No matter what the girls’ skin looked like that day, they were confident, glowing from within, and fully embracing themselves. That’s exactly what Embrace Beauty stands for loving yourself through every stage, every season, every version of your skin.

And the photos? Absolutely GORGEOUS.
I already can’t wait for the next EB shoot.

With love,
Lauren x
