Plus Size Model Portfolio: Lexa Joy

January 21, 2018 in MODEL PORTFOLIO, PHOTOSHOOT RECAP, CURVES

I had a blast developing Lexa Joy's plus size model portfolio for her agency Natural Model Management. We shot at Muse Studio City in LA and had Aaron Paul with his assistant Leslie on hair and makeup!  Lexa recently signed to Natural Models and I'm excited to see where things will take this blonde beauty. Lexa just graduated from art school and also works in LA in production. Here's what we got during Lexa's shoot!

❤️ Find joyful moments throughout your day, even on your darker days. ✨ This shot of @danacconlin is a completely natural moment of pure joy, which I am sharing in a raw, unretouched form because we don’t see a lot of beauty shots that celebrate the real beauty in life. Life is filled with many moments including dark and light, but the balance is what makes the JOY so bright. Dana moves exquisitely and has that special something that I always try to get out of a model. During this shoot I learned that my dear Aunt Madonna passed away from her Cancer. This was something we knew was coming soon but loss of a loved one is always sad no matter how much time you’ve had to say goodbye. 💔 I took a moment for myself and continued with the shoot and am so grateful I did because there was so much beauty and captured joy in these images. Thank you to Dana for moving so beautifully and being such a pleasure to photograph and to @nataliabbeauty for being an incredible artist handling both makeup and hair for this shoot. I am excited to share the final images from this shoot but couldn’t wait to get this joyful image up! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and be sure to tell those in your life that you love them! 💫

Being my own #mancrushmonday today... hi there everyone how have you been? Is there anything cool you’re excited to share today? I haven’t been around posting for a bit... will be back in full swing with new content soon. I had a wonderful shoot today, will be filming more for my IGTV soon and also have some cool client work I’m excited to show soon too! This year has flown by and I cannot believe it’s May 20, 2019 already! Wow! I realized I’ve been a little lax on my personal work lately. I got a little burnt out last year because I was pushing hard to reshoot my entire book but now I’m itching to redo the whole thing again soon. I just am looking for people that inspire me that I want to photograph for my book. As a photographer I feel strongly that it’s important to constantly be working on our craft in addition to showing our client work. So much of my personal and creative work has helped me earn clients over the years. Looking forward to creating with some beautiful people again soon!

#TBT - when was it that you dreamed to be of where you are now? I’d love to hear your story! 🤩 here’s a bit of mine... ⚡️ It’s been years of dreaming about an NYC life but 2014 (when this image was taken) was the year I set the intention to move and pursue my career as an NYC Photographer. It was scary and it took me a year to get the courage to actually move to NYC. I was at a crossroads with my life and business; I could settle down in MD and be a big fish in a small pond or move and try my best in the concrete jungle. At the time I knew I would be successful but I also didn’t realize that I would make NYC my home. ✨ I share this throwback image because I was in MD over the weekend and had a chance to go through my old work. Lots of cringey moments for me as I’ve been working as a photographer since 2009 but I really love this image from a 2014 shoot. This was a time I dreamed of being where I’m at now. Reality is different than dreams but I’ve made my reality something that many people will only ever dream of. You take the good, bad & ugly because the good is so fucking good!! ✨ In 2015 I took the leap and moved to NYC with the goal of expanding my business and shooting beauty & advertising. While I may not currently have an impressive bank account, fancy condo or budget for designer clothes, my life is filled with many riches and unique experiences. Being a self employed freelance photographer in NYC can be tough, but NYC is filled with people and opportunities you may never have elsewhere. I’m planting seeds for the future and confident in my own personal fortitude to accomplish the career goals I have. So all of you self employed artists out there - I see you and you are doing amazing things! 💫 Keep moving forward!
