Getting Creative with Mama Elaina Bellis

Getting Creative with Mama Elaina Bellis

Elaina Bellis is a mother first and foremost, but she also moonlights as a model, content creator, and art director. In 2016 she teamed up with her photographer husband to create a one-stop-shop for all your creative needs, working with major players in the retail industry such as Anthropologie, Madewell, True Botanicals, and Christy Dawn.

We recently caught up with the mama of twins to ask her to share some of the creative mothering tips she lives by...

Do you have any mom icons? 

My mom! She had four kids and made it all look so easy and fun. My childhood was full of love and laughter, and it's because my parents showed us that love was the most important!

What are you eating these days? 

Lots of salads and chicken soups. My girls will ALWAYS eat chicken soup and whatever vegetable I put in it! It's a sure bet to get them to eat their veggies!

What is your go-to meal for your children? 

Chicken noodle soup or nori wraps with avo and grilled salmon.

What is your all-time favorite recipe? 

Alison Roman’s paprika chicken — hands down the best chicken I've ever made!


What has been the most useful piece of advice you’ve received about being a mother? 

Not to compare your child to another persons child. Every child develops at their own speed — and that is perfectly fine!
