It was one of those days where things just aligned. Like a great cocktail, it was the perfect mix. The people, the energy, the attitudes, all of it together made for an unforgettable day that left me inspired, uplifted and totally high.
The crew was young, hip and happening. The mission was Cozy Orange marketing extravaganza shooting their Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 Campaigns and despite the 4am start to this escapade, things were rolling in the way that I love. Fluid and easeful, with a lot of laughter.
For those of you that have not heard of Cozy Orange, you will soon enough. I have no doubt that this brand will be around for years to come, not only because they create chic, eco friendly apparel that is so darn comfortable you may never want to take it off. Cozy Orange has assembled a team of people that are movers and shakers, creative visionaries that strive to the highest standard, take action and make shit happen. (Just my kind of people!).
Photographer Matthew Morgan blew my mind with his calm and connected demeanor. He is a true artist that sees opportunity everywhere and has an eye for magic. Nicole right hand woman for the day was so patient and supportive. My sisters for the day were Stephanie, a 22 year old model living in LA for the summer who I kid you not is Pocahontas in real life and also an engineer and Brittni Acker a yoga babe from San Diego and hairstylist extraordinaire. These girls were easy, breezy and totally rad!
9 hours of shooting went by so fast and I left feeling completely high. Very little food, and lots of strenuous yoga postures I should have been tired, but no, I was high as a kite and still am energized and uplifted 3 days later. Why? I believe it is because the synergy of this group was incredible and rare. Each person as an individual is living with passion and purpose and at their core is just a good person with a heart of gold.
