{Young.Gun.}

Found these old pics of me on a CD {right? who uses CDs anymore?} as I was unpacking.  10 years fly by in a heart beat…. I’m really in awe of how quickly time has passed, I haven’t seen these photos in years, and this really was my first foray into styling.  I tried {very unsuccessfully} to model.  There wasn’t an agency in town to take me on, so instead I started collaborating with local photographers, styling my shoots, doing my own hair and make up and really learning every job there is on set.  I stopped modelling completely after this shoot and took a step back behind the camera, as a stylist and art director.  Being in front of the camera gives you really great perspective when it comes to directing and what to look for in a model.  The experience was totally invaluable. Anyway there’s me 8 years ago. Ta-da!
