✨ it’s really nuts for me to reflect on the past 8 months. I love being in front of the camera; it’s always been such a challenge to shape shift into something else & communicate without dialogue... modeling gives me the ability to do that, I get to push myself. I’ve always been pretty awkward, but very determined. I wasn’t born a model, I made myself into a model. - with that being said, I’ve also always loved the creative aspect on the other side. I love styling, I love photography, I love learning, & I just love anything that involves art in general. being behind the camera is not only teaching me how to improve as a model, but it’s also giving me the chance to fully embrace & fall in love with another craft. I’m one of those people who has to do everything & know everything & try it all. I’m so thankful to see the growth from this chapter... like wow where has the time gone?! truly so grateful for the opportunity to do all the things I love as a whole, simultaneously. I want to give a special thank you to @mane_ivy who was crazy enough to give me this chance to morphe into something bigger than I ever expected. I truly don’t know who I’d be right now if I didn’t take the opportunity to put myself in such an uncomfortably new atmosphere. I’m surrounded by such a hardworking team that supports eachother & am so fortunate to receive this blessing to experiment & grow. I love my special people & all the adventure that comes along with it, & awaits us. I may not know a lot of shit yet, trust me I’ve had my moments of “I AM NEVER GOING TO GET THIS.” but once I ~finally~ master my Fuji settings, learn Adobe premiere pro, illustrator, photoshop, & indesign, it’s OVER for you hoes ;) lmao jk PS. Follow my new account @lauraheltoncreative to see what I do. Maybe now I’ll actually try to post on it 😂
