My mom always told me that if I had my mind set on something, I’d get there and nothing could stop me–sometimes that works against me (umm…diet?!) but most of the time, its a great thing. I guess that means there’s a bit of determination in me…and a whole lot of grace given to me, that I don’t deserve. I got into the creative industry years ago, inspired by photography, fashion, print editorials, fabric patterns, and illustration. Some day, soon I hope, I will have a giant studio space where I can fill the white walls in magazine tears, fabric swatches and tons and tons of art and photos. An ideal spot for client meetings, in my opinion! Being able to photograph gorgeous weddings and meet amazing people is a dream come true. Coming from a design background, I’ve had some really cool opportunities to design and photograph in creative environments that I wouldn’t trade for anything. The creative world is where I belong-I find my voice in photographs and being able to tell a story.
I’ll let you in on a little secret…I heart Jenna Lyons. I’m pretty much obsessed inspired with her office, closet and the fact that she’s the Creative mastermind behind Jcrew. All those drool-worthy catalog spreads? Yeah. She gets to art direct them. Look at her office?! Someday I will add Creative Director to the titles of Photographer and Designer. Just putting it out there now. And in the meantime, back to work I go…loving the journey so far!
Happy weekend everyone! Photos of Jenna by Myra Iqbal
