I love this trend & my SOTD and first set both just hit 3k! (WHAT?!), so I thought Iād hop on it! I love seeing how much weāve changed. Whether itās more tattoos, or more confidence, it shows!
If youāve been my friend here for a while you know I had a first set, āBlooming of Narcissaā in the queue a while ago as well, - another thing I love about modeling is the ability to trim what we donāt like from our portfolios. I took that set off the site, then the computer it was saved to promptly crashed š itās just a memory for us all now.
so letās jump into it! Flashback to my first set, āLas Vegas pastāshot by @alissa
This set was so special for so many reasons, it was the first time I got to work with staff, and it was the staff I always dreamed of shooting with! We shot in DC, (not far from where I grew up) & I got to meet @radeo that day as well. We listened to Lana Del Ray while we shot, and I just remember I felt so comfortable and happy with the results. I love seeing my big blocky eyeliner, my huge ears, & my bare tattoo-less belly. I can still remember the celebration sushi I ate not even an hour after this! š„°
Flash forward (5 years š ) to my SOTD, āWild Wild Westā shot by @zen
when I say LOOK AT THIS GROWTH, Iām not just talking about my hair š I can see the difference in my posture, my body, and my confidence & I love that modeling has done that for me š„° modeling is an art that takes practice and I love that I can see my work here. On this day it was suuuper hot outside, I listened to Ash Nikki radio while we shot, once we finished it was time for twerking in the pool followed by tacos with a bunch of babes! (I canāt wait to go back this weekend!)
I love seeing everyone post their growth here! To literally any babe on here, model or not, hereās my advice:
- Surround yourself with positive babes that are lifting each other up instead of competing.
-Seeing others succeed doesnāt mean youāre not, so quit being salty about that and celebrate!
- Speak kindly to yourself all the time, wake up and tell yourself youāre beautiful, take a break from the draining task and tell yourself you are working your best, and always tell yourself you can do the thing you donāt feel like you can do.
If you do these things you should enjoy looking at the person in the photo & watching them grow and bloom. š·š
