The Magic + The Mess: Mary Margaret Chambliss
Birmingham-based photographer and mama of two, Mary Margaret sent us the most gorgeous photos of her kids, Aligood and Louis in some Baybala faves. We’ve long been enchanted with Mary Margaret’s beautiful photography (she’s photographed John Legend and Dave Matthews to name a couple!) and we were glad to hear her thoughts on the world right now.

We had the pleasure of connecting (virtually, of course!) with women from around our community to see how they are doing, what their day-to-day looks like, and glean some wisdom.
