Soo why do I model?
I think that at some point almost every little girl has a dream of being a famous pop star or model, and I was no different. When I was thirteen or fourteen I got signed to Leighton Talent Agency, and they have been wonderful to me.
I began modeling because, quite simply, I enjoyed it. I quickly learned that the culture surrounding professional modeling wasn't the best, most of the time. There is such a huge emphasis placed on body image, appearance, and what other people think about you.
Guess what?
None of that matters.
people get so caught up in how much they weigh or what their friends will think of them or what they do and don't look like; it takes away from the whole experience.
What matters to me is that I have a great time getting my hair and makeup done, posing for a camera, and creating art. Each picture tells a story, and there aren't many things i love more than looking back on pictures i've taken and remembering all the crazy fun stuff that went on behind the scenes.
Through modeling i've built my self esteem, met incredible people, and gone on so many unforgettable adventures.
In my most recent photoshoot, i had the honor of modeling for a dear friend of mine, the lovely Sarah Waggoner. Every month, she does a themed shoot, and she asked me to help her out in capturing her vision of shadow. For this shoot, I was modeling in a thick velvet dress in a parking garage in the middle of an arizona summer day. I'd say the results were well worth it, Sarah did an incredible job of capturing the contrast between light and dark in this project.
