Considering my origin story of how I began modeling, it made sense for me to mark my new decade in life with images that gave me space to be. To be creative. To be collaborative. To be open. To be a model. To be whole. Here’s images from my 30th birthday shoot in which I developed the concept and creative direction for it.
