In my last blog post I shared a magazine feature in Bella Grace Magazine. Shortly after submitting that feature, Bella Grace reached out again with the opportunity of getting the cover! I hesitated at first, pondering on the reality of selling out blah blah blah… that’s ridiculous of course I said yes immediately! I mean, the photograph they wanted to use is one of my faves of all time. AND IT WAS THE COVER. As I mentioned in the last post, my mother passed away suddenly during that time. I know I shared the magazine cover news on social media when it published, but that time after losing my mom was dark and hazy. I wanted to do a proper blog post now to mark the accomplishment.
To be honest with you, my photos are my babies. I share my art with the pride of a new parent. I fuss over it, obsess about it, and swell with pride on the inside when someone comments kindly on it. Here’s one of my babies gracing the cover of Bella Grace Magazine, Summer 2019 Issue 20.
I want to give a huge shoutout to my dear friend, Lauren. We had a gorgeous evening together one evening in May of 2017. She was kind enough to model for me and we made this. She has a beautiful soul and I think it shows here.
Styled by me and the wind. No makeup or hair styling. Dress from Forever 21 and blanket from the thrift store. (I’m a firm believer that making art need not be expensive. And my word, look at her!)
