In recent years, "momfluencers," or influencers who create content around their children and their lives at home, have been looked at more critically. While some content creators choose to hide their young children's faces to protect their anonymity, others share intimate snapshots of their kids' lives to complete their personal brand or aesthetic.

Some influencers, like Ballerina Farm, promote a tradwife "make everything from scratch" lifestyle that is truly unattainable for their followers. Even influencers who don't claim to promote outdated gender roles often glorify domesticity and perfection.

Amber Fillerup Clark, who owns two beauty brands and has been described as one of the "OG influencers," promoted an idealized portrait of Mormon domestic life online ... Until she didn't. Amber left the Mormon church and later disappeared from social media. Her followers are wondering what happened.

In 2019, Amber said she was going to stop posting her kids on Instagram.

In an Instagram story, she wrote, "I had this epiphany one night and made the decision to no longer share the kids on social ... maybe a picture here and there ... If I am in it too, but for the most part, cold turnkey not sharing anymore. Maybe I'll share more about this decision later, but I feel so at peace with it."

She continued, "Totally get it if everyone unfollows because, let's be honest, my kids are way cooler than me. But in all honesty, I think this is what's best for our family."

Ironically, Amber posted the words on top of a photo of her daughter (albeit with her face covered) helping put Christmas ornaments on the Christmas tree.

Amber did continue posting photos and videos of her kids, but she seemed to try to hide or blur their faces or only film them from behind or far away.
