Let’s Go Girls

There were a lot of moving pieces in this month’s cover shoot, and it was just the girl-powered ray of sunshine we dreamed it would be.

“We shot five groups of women over the course of two days. Each group brought a different vibe to the set, and they were all a joy to work with,” stylist and editorial contributor Josie Burnett says. “We especially loved how happy everyone was to have this moment and special relationship captured forever.”

“I’m the type of person who likes to keep a list of gift ideas year round, so I always love to see what’s new at some of Little Rock’s best locally owned stores,” art director Emma Devine says. “We were really blown away by the selection for this year’s Mother’s Day gift guide. So many special and unique items to choose from right here in our city!”
