They were referred to me by one of the beautiful ladies that I had met at the In The Pink benefit that I shot. Jan and I spoke at length about her daughters dreams and I could totally relate. I had those dreams as a teenager as well. I wanted to be a model. Fate had it that I ended up behind the camera instead of in front of it and I am perfectly happy with that! Now it’s Lizzy’s dream. She was so excited to have her modeling session in preparation for her and her Mother’s upcoming trip to Miami. She had her make-up done and her wardrobe picked out and then … rain. Boo!!! I was so bummed for her. When they pulled up beside me to officially meet I said “hang tight and I’ll jump in the car with y’all.” Which is exactly what I did. We chit chatted about how we would make this work. And Lizzy flipped through my inspiration folder. We sulked at the rain dancing off of the windshield. Oh well, nothing like a little girl talk.
Before we knew it, the rain gave way and I said let’s do this! We jumped out and began to take advantage of the minimal daylight that we had left. I knew that we had hit the jackpot in the little allotted time that we had. Lizzy was beautiful and the lighting was perfect, even for just a few minutes…literally. Next thing we knew we were running back to the car! Boo! We waited it out a little longer and then decided to shoot a little night time session just for the fun of it. I mean after all, Lizzy did have her make-up done and her super hip wardrobe to show off. Let’s do this!!!
I had Lizzy’s Mom back her SUV up to the building and by that time the rain had become a mist. The road was wet with sporadic puddles and I had a vision. Well, it was originally David Jay’s vision and I had watched a video of him shooting this incredible session and said to myself…”I want to shoot that one day!” What better time than the present. Lizzy got her “Tyra” on and I was determined to land a incredible shot for her… I think we pulled it off! We made a great team. Lizzy, I wish you the best in all of your future endeavors! Keep your head (and eyebrow) up high. ;-) Be strong. Be determined. Be confident. Follow your dreams. Let’s do this girl!!!
