I was currently at my photo shoot for Calvin Klein. I've been here going on almost four hours.
It's kind of insane how I'm in this position right now, modeling for the Calvin Klein brand!
It was very unexpected. I decided to check my spam junk email folder yesterday and they were sitting right there in it!
I'm glad I did what I did and checked my junk folder.
Soon as I reached back out to them, the next day they wanted to do the photo shoot and that was fine with me!
So the kids were with their dad today.
Aubrey didn't know about any of this that was going on because I didn't feel the need he should.
With a beaming smile, I stood before the camera, basking in the encouraging words of the photographer, Ashley. Her compliments fueled my confidence as she snapped a few more shots, each click filling me with a sense of pride and excitement. "You're killing it! You look beautiful babes!" she cheered, her enthusiasm infectious.
The shutter clicked for the final time, Ashley gave me a reassuring nod. "That's a wrap!" she announced, signaling the end of the shoot. Relief and satisfaction washed over me as I realized we had captured something truly special.
I walked over to Ashley, she greeted me with a warm smile and gestured to the screen where she had pulled up the photos from the shoot. There, captured in stunning detail, were images of me and Keith, our chemistry evident even to the lens of the camera.
"You guys looked so good together!" Ashley exclaimed, her enthusiasm contagious. "Even though you just met each other, it's like you've been working together for years."
I couldn't help but grin as I studied the photos, marveling at how effortlessly Keith and I had connected during the shoot. Despite our initial nerves and the pressure of the moment, there was a natural ease between us that translated beautifully onto film.
Ashley clicked to the next photo, I felt a sense of gratitude wash over me. Not only had I been given the opportunity of a lifetime with Calvin Klein.
Excitedly, I shared my phone number with Ashley, eager to receive the photos from the shoot. True to her word, she promptly sent them over, and I eagerly scrolled through the gallery, reliving each moment captured on camera.
As I sifted through the images, selecting my favorites, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. These photos weren't just snapshots; they were a visual representation of a dream realized, a testament to the hard work and dedication that had brought me to this point.
With a sense of excitement building inside me, I made a decision. These photos deserved to be shared with the world, to be celebrated and appreciated by all who stumbled upon them. And so, with a few taps on my phone, I composed a caption, carefully selected the perfect filter, and hit post.
