The photo vs. what it took to get it…
Sometimes you see a beautiful photo, but you don't see everything that happened behind it.
For this shoot in Mexico, I woke up at 4:30 AM so we could catch that beautiful first light of the day. I was tired, but once we got to the beach and started shooting, I knew it was going to be worth it.
And it was.
One of the photos from that morning became one of my favorite images from my entire modeling journey.
