Model Moment
Instead of staying in my comfort zone behind the scenes as a wardrobe
stylist, Kellie Woodbury of Beanie + Cecil and Photographer
Eric von Bargen coaxed me to the other side of the lens. Since I haven’t spend
much time on this side professionally since the 008 days my first year in
Wilmington and my former life in Philadelphia, it was surprisingly more fun than I
remembered! And, as an added perk Hair Guru Steve Ward transformed me frame after frame.
Even Edge of Urge invited me to style my favorite pair of Junkies captured
by Photographer KeithKetchum. Thanks for giving me my Niki Taylor moment, guys!
