The end of 2015 has been pretty amazing for me. I've met a great amount of people and had the opportunity to work with those who are passionate about what they do. As I keep honing in on my craft in 2016, I'm definitely honored to kick the year off knowing these talented individuals.
And among these talents, I'd like to introduce Miss Kamilah Gonzales.

Kamilah is a Boston native who is passionate about her craft. She's been modeling for a couple of years now and her drive to work with people is so strong. I had a chance to meet her before the end of the year through Nate Balico. She came all the way from Boston, a 4 hour bus ride, and linked up with us. We brought her to the studio, shot the day away, and she took the bus back that night. Meeting her was definitely inspiring as I can see one of her greatest qualities is her hustle, travelling such distance just to work with us. That's what this game is all about.

She hopes to make it out to New York one day and start a strong career here. I'm honestly hyped to work with her again in the near future. Building and creating visual content with people is my own passion.
A big thanks to Nathan Balico for styling this set. Much of these looks were thrifted at Plato's Closet all over North Jersey.
Lastly, if you have a chance, go check her out on Instagram @kamilah.gonzales.
Keep hustling, friends.
