When I was a Kid

When I was a kid, I was set on becoming a fashion designer when I grew up. I loved looking through fashion magazines, sketching designs, admiring styled mannequins at stores, playing dress up, and watching what celebrities wore while walking the red carpet at the Oscars.

I'm not a fashion designer today (maybe I still will be in someway, someday), but the passion continues and influences my creative processes in both my work and everyday life.

One way I still express this passion is through creative shoots. I started modeling in high school (a more in-depth story for another day) and ever since, I've been in love with the creative experience that goes into capturing an image. Collaborating with other creatives, styling my own wardrobe or working with stylists/designers, and finding really neat locations to shoot at (or ordinary locations and reimagining what they could look like in an image) is such a fun experience to me.

These images were shot in downtown Phoenix and the overall look was inspired by @emilyinparis 🇫🇷

Thank you so much MXBoss Productions for the fun, adventurous time and scouting some really neat locations for this shoot! 📸
