One of the highlights of this year was teaming up with the talented makeup artist, Missy Young to take on new and even more creative concepts for our photo shoots. In addition to working together on photo shoots, Missy asked me to partner with her in creating a high fashion runway event in our local community --- "WERK the RUNWAY." After two successful cycles of the event, we've managed to involve designers from all over, including Charles Josef in Asheville, Victoria Wilmoth in Atlanta, Marian Gibson in Charleston, and Paulie Gibson from St. Louis who has been featured on hit tv series America's Next Top Model Cycle 20 and in Los Angeles Fashion Week.
As well as partnering together for WERK the RUNWAY, Missy and I decided to open up our own modeling agency, 6:12 Model Management so that we could continue to focus on managing and developing the models that we work with so frequently.
2015 was filled with travel and opportunity. I've worked with models in cities all over the country, including Asheville, Cincinnati, New York City and Miami. I've connected with agencies like Silver Model Management (the leading fitness model agency in the country) and NEXT Models (the leading modeling agency in the world).
