Live Well Photoshoots Week #1
We started our photoshoots with the second chapter of the book! Oats are Shauna's go-to breakfast, every-single-day, so we decided to start with her favourites! Oats are a superfood; they're full of nutrition and high in fibre, which is beneficial for cardiovascular health and the gut microflora. They also have the perfect ratio of macronutrients, a beautiful 8:4:1 balance between carbs, fats and protein, and a good source of iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium.
We love loading them up with nuts, seeds, veggies and fruit to add a variety of flavours and textures to make it exciting and different every time! It makes them feel like having dessert for breakfast!
Due to Covid restrictions, we've had all Shauna's kids at home, which has been making the photoshoots challenging at times, but very fun! If you think working with 4, 2 and 1-year-olds playing around the set is impossible… you're wrong! They will keep on your toes and smiling all the way! They will also eat all the leftovers and help you clean if you trade it for park time.
We made it through the first week exhausted but very excited! After 6 months of planning, it felt good to have a little taste of how the book will look like. We had to make some adjustments on the go too. Sometimes the ideas we have in our heads don't play out as we think they will, but we found ways to adapt and be happy with the results.
We are not on a very tight schedule, so we must stay focused and organized. Week one was a successful one, and we hope the next 11 weeks will feel the same!
