shoots & ladders.

SO work has officially begun on my very first photo shoot. i am working with a talented fashion photographer (and fellow FIT alumn) on some portfolio shots and i am beyond excited. after connecting with her and reaching out to our networks for clothes, models, shoes, jewelry (check out the super fun pieces we'll be borrowing from here) etc., we are hoping to shoot our first "whimsical, romantic fall" shoot by next weekend. its such good experience to be gained- im slowly beginning to realize i do actually have a team here and its great to be able to reach out to them. i have friends who work for big fashion houses, i have models i've interviewed for FINT which i can reach out to, and now i can add a photographer to my growing network, just as she can add me to her network as a stylist. its amazing what becoming involved in a project can do for you- suddenly i am reinforced. i am not just an aspiring writer- i write. i am not an aspiring stylist- i style. and sure, it might not be for a major print publication (right now..) but im still building key skills and actively working in a field i am so passionate about. i love it. fire is burning once again! photos TK (which is magazine short-hand for "to come")...
