“I absolutely loved the supportive environment that Carly created right from the get-go. The first meeting was so great because we got to bounce ideas off each other which was quite beneficial for developing my collaborative skills as a creative.

The shoot day was fantastic. Little 13-year-old me was super nervous because it was the biggest shoot I had done at that point. But Carly and the team were amazing at making me feel welcomed and supported. From there, Carly gave me great posing direction and ideas which helped me to loosen up. By the end of the day, we were on a roll. I knew most of the ins and outs of studio shoots and I felt WAY more comfortable in front of the camera.

After the shoot, Carly was nice enough to meet with us again to sort through all of the photos we took. Carly gave us her opinion on which shots would be best to add versatility to my portfolio.

To this day, I fully believe that my test shoot with Carly set me apart from other models my age and acted as a springboard into the industry, which got me to where I am today. I am forever grateful.”
