Our “Models”
Our models are not normally models- they are actually associates, friends and friends-of-friends who we convinced to model for us. Saving a few dollars is nice- but the real reason we wanted to work with them is that we knew their creative and modern lifestyles show in everything they do. This is tough to duplicate with a model chosen from a head shot. Everyone you see in our recent photos has their own interesting pursuits– in other words, they “venture boldly.”
