Makeup artist Jaleesa Jaikaran's career took a similar turn.
"It used to be very taboo to be both a makeup artist and influencer, but not anymore," she told POPSUGAR. "I consider myself to be bridging the gap between the two. Since states have been opening back up, I've been taking more and more shoots on as there have been sporadic busy periods. I've been able to work on content creation for some of the brands I've worked with behind the camera as well, and I don't see this trend dying down anytime soon."
In some ways, you could say that this time has been a big help for both of them. Creating content for brands has allowed Williamson to "dive deeper" and build on her photography, videography, styling, and creative directing skills. But she still misses being able to work on set.
"I miss the feeling of seeing one of my faves on the call sheet and giving them the biggest hug ever once I see them on location," she said. "Now that things are opening back up, I'm still a bit hesitant, but only time will tell."
