Thank you!
Thank you so much to the lovely photographers, models, stylists, makeup artists, and everyone who was involved in the second shoot of the semester today, “REDEFINING TWIGGY.” On behalf of myself and the Exec. Board, we are so proud of all of you and beyond impressed with today’s shoot! Major shoutout goes to the makeup artists for their lovely looks, the models for taking creative direction with poise and with ease (and for climbing up and down the hills in heels!), the photographers/videographers for their lovely shots, and the stylists for their gorgeous looks. Each of you played such an integral part in this shoot and we couldn’t be happier.
