For the latest edition of the Marie Claire U.S. Motherhood Issue, the editorial team has curated a visual narrative that beautifully balances poise with the dynamic energy of family life. Captured through the lens of photographer Luka Booth, the feature highlights model Ashley Graham in a series of striking portraits that anchor the publication's focus on the multifaceted nature of modern parenting. Creative director Montse Tanús brings a refined sensibility to the project, utilizing a deliberate mix of studio strobe lighting and softer natural light to create depth and warmth.

With a sophisticated fashion edit led by stylist Dione Davis, the visual language leans into editorial minimalism, allowing the bold silhouettes of the wardrobe—ranging from architectural ruffles to expressive leopard prints—to take center stage. The artistic synergy is completed by the meticulous work of hair stylist Gonn Kinoshita and makeup artist Kabuki, whose contributions ensure a polished yet authentic aesthetic.
