I was such an uncomfortably shy kid growing up. Any type of confrontation and I would get such bad anxiety. And somehow after I graduated college that all started to change. I love talking to people now, though still a classified introvert. So when I first started out in photography and heard that other photographers would reach out to models for shoots I was mortified! I didn't contact anyone at all for the first 8 months. I guess I was waiting to become a better photographer. Then I started messaging and most of them said yes! It felt so good that they would consider me! Anyways, Italia was the first model I met through instagram. She was awesome and really knew what she was doing. We had a lot of fun and I am so in love with her photos. Yay!
