Introducing the new Ambassador of the BONDS Baby Search for 2015, Elyse Taylor! The Aussie supermodel is now a mum to beautiful Lila, who joined Elyse on the BONDS Baby Search shoot in Sydney. “This is a bit special,” Elyse said, playing with Lila in between shots, “it’s so amazing to be able to have Lila on set!” It must be said that Lila was also the perfect model, smiling and giggling for the camera, before going off to a doting grandma who was patiently waiting on the sidelines. Sigh. Three generations of beautiful.

So how does Elyse juggle motherhood with modeling? We get the lowdown.

1.    How do you feel about coming on as the new BONDS Baby Search Ambassador for 2015?

It’s amazing. Just to be involved with Bonds is incredible, I love everyone here! They’re such lovely people and I love working with them, I hope they love working with me. They’ve been so great. I think the BONDS Baby Search is awesome and really hits home with every mum, because all the babies are so cute!

2.    How do balance motherhood with modeling?

Unfortunately I can’t take Lila to work with me like I did today. I have a great nanny in New York who is just awesome. So when I’m at work I know she’s being looked after. If it’s a trip more than three days then I’ll take Lila, but if it’s not then it’s just not worth disrupting her routine. And then if I work four days on, I’ll have four days off, I try and balance it like that, just so I get enough quality time with her and with work.

3.    Will work change now that you’re  a mum?

My work priorities have definitely changed since becoming a mum. I’d like to have more children so I do have some projects on the horizon that are in motion to set myself up for the future when I finish modeling. My team is really pushing to get me there and I’m more driven than ever before.

4.    How has becoming a mum changed your life?

It’s turned my whole world around you know. Everything’s different. But you change as well. All the stuff I did before I was pregnant, if you asked me if I wanted to do that now I’d be like, no way in the world. I’d rather get up at 5 o’clock with my daughter than nurse a hangover. Just your priorities change. And because your life changes like that, those people drop out of your life. I’m happy just to hang out with family and my dog and my daughter and my husband. It just really changes. Your circle gets smaller and things that are really important come to the surface.
