One goal of photographing people is to bring who they are forward - to be seen by anyone viewing the final image. This series puts the person in front of the camera in charge - wearing what they want to wear, expressing themselves how they desire.

Ella stated “I chose outfits that I thought represented me and the things that mean a lot to me. Things that make me smile. Cats make me happy, theater, so do fancy outfits and dressing up. As for poses, I wanted to make sure the majority of them were overall happy and good vibes, that’s how I try to be, I think that’s why a lot of the poses ended up being pretty open because I want to be more open in life. Overall I just wanted to create a fun vibe cuz life is short it’s supposed to be fun and that means fashion too!”
