Behind-the-scenes of my shoot with BRINK Magazine

Hi lovelies,

I'm so excited and honored to share with you that I'm going to be featured in BRINK Magazine's upcoming GIRLS issue. The issue will fête women in the entertainment, fashion, and music industry that have a meaningful voice, are able to make things happen while adding value, and have the skills necessary to successfully navigate their way through the world. All features have been written, styled, and photographed by girls. I had the pleasure of being styled and photographed by the lovely Kristy Benjamin. She is definitely a cool girl who rocks in a major way.

BRINK Magazine is the brainchild of entrepreneur and founding editor Kyle Menard who creates the magazine as a way to celebrate people that aren't just talkers, but they are doers. They make things happen with integrity while spreading happiness. I loved his creative direction during the shoot to smile, laugh, and just have fun! It was easy while we were jamming out to tunes, picking fun backdrops, and deciding whether or not to keep or ditch a yellow braided bracelet. We decided to ditch it but the laughter, smiles, and fun kept rolling on. 

Industry influencers who have graced the cover of and have been featured in BRINK includes, Ed Sheeran, Nick Wechsler, Charli XCX, Grey Damon, Alexa Vega, Elizabeth Mitchell, Reid Scott, and more. I hope you pick up and check out the Spring issue hitting stands and available digitally mid-March!

For more on the event of the season, in their own words:

“As a precursor to everyone’s busiest season of the year, event guests were invited to relax and recharge with a makeup and braid bar presented by PRIV kept everyone warm and refreshed with some delicious chai tea–perfect for the cold, rainy day. Over at the nail bar, our guests enjoyed a selection of the season’s hottest colors for their Primp and Polish manicures. And for those who wanted a little sparkle in their night, ONLI Beverages was on hand to provide their delicious sparkling water varieties, including Hibiscus Pomegranate, Lemon Watermelon and Green Tea Lemongrass Mango.

Everyone knows shopping and bubbles are an excellent pair, no matter what time of day it is, which is why Cliffton Dry Cider was on deck to serve guests glasses of sparkling cider. Just in case any of the guests started to work up an appetite while shopping, Jala Bars supplied their delicious, frozen Greek yogurt bars to snack on. And since we wanted to keep attendees energized to shop the night away, Protein Bakery was happy to supply their protein-packed cookies.”
