This was one of my favorite shoots from last summer, and was already featured on [Navabi] last fall. Bo is a spokesmodel for [Healthy is the New Skinny] and doing this shoot with her is something that is very close to my heart. I want young women to have more role models like Bo to look up to, as she is gorgeous, healthy, and athletic and we need a wider variety of women like her representing us in the fashion industry.

Please share this post if you believe in healthy models – and healthy role models for women everywhere!!

Producing my own portfolio work like this shoot is something everyone should do on a regular basis. It’s important to continue creating work you are passionate about, and that speaks to your brand – so you can land future clients that align with your vision and style. PHOTOGRAPHERS if you are looking for a learning opportunity about how to build your brand, and produce your OWN portfolio pieces to get the clients you want, please sign up for our [Mailing List] to be among the first to find out about an amazing learning experience coming this June, 2013!!
