Nobody tells you how difficult your mid 20's can be, especially as a woman. For many of us, we are finding our feet in the world after flying the nest, trying to kickstart our careers, building our own homes (as well as keeping them clean!), maintaining relationships, and getting enough sleep in the process.
As exciting as this can be, it is also extremely daunting. It is easy to compare yourself and your progress to that of others. I was dealing with these feelings alone, and unbeknownst to me, so were my friends. It was over a truffle pizza and a bottle of wine that we opened up to each other and realised we were all feeling the same way.
We decided that we wanted to do something for ourselves-to take our minds off of things, but also to have fun creating a shoot just because we could. We chose to explore our desire to escape the day to day, romanticising life as if it is a story book.
