Tatiana: A Modeling Portfolio

I often ask my clients to do weird things. I mean, nothing too strange, mind you... But still, things that normally raise a few eyebrows and elicit somewhat bemused responses like, "Um, you want me to do what?"

But when I asked Tatiana to run down the dock with her arms waving frantically in the air, she just glanced at me with a complete look of understanding and replied, "Oh, you mean like Phoebe from Friends?"

And right then and there, I melted a little bit in inside. Because, yes. That's exactly what I meant.

Tatiana oozes positive energy. She has a glow, and it's more than evident in the following pictures. But watch out... Her smile - gorgeous as it is - is completely contagious. In fact, I laughed and smiled so much during our shoot that, afterwards, my cheeks hurt.

Yes. That's how much fun I had.

When not gracing the camera with her gorgeousness, Tatiana studies fashion design at the New York Fashion Academy. She's got style - an enormous amount of style. And after our shoot yesterday, I think it's fair to say that - whether on the runway or behind the scenes - Tatiana is going to go far.

Because, after all, that's what happens when you follow your bliss... And Tatiana is definitely following hers. :)
