Life Goes By Pretty Fast.....

Today I want to share with you one of my favorite editorials of all time, featuring supermodel Eniko Mihalik for Vogue Paris that was photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin in 2008.

This editorial takes readers through a lifetime of ages as Eniko (who was age 22 in 2008) is transformed from age 10 to age 60 in a single editorial. With the changes in Eniko's expression and poses, along with the different make up, hair, and styling for each photo, the magazine was able to pull off this concept beautifully.

The spread starts off with Eniko, at age 10.

Her youthful facial features (such as her adorable dimples), as well as her giggly expression and half hidden smile all give the illusion that in fact Eniko is 10 years old, at the dawn of life. AMAZING!

This next photo is the model at age 20....

Here, you can tell the model is just discovering herself...experimenting with makeup and various accessories.... even straightening her hair. Her expression is hopeful and excited for her life ahead of her.

It's funny to look at this photo because Katie-Lu and I will be turning 20 in January... this editorial makes me realize how young we still are.

Next up, age 30...

Corrupted by her 20's, Eniko at age 30 seems to have been through a decade of experimentation with drugs....her expression is a little "too cool for school" in the sense she's been there, done that.

Age 40....

With the styling in this photo you can see that now the model is middle aged and that she's somewhat of a cougar!

Age 50...

Here, Eniko's taste has been refined with age...she's aging with class, which is the best way to do it, if you ask me.

And finally, Age 60...

I love this last photograph because it gives those of us who are young something to look forward to. Here, age 60 is portrayed as a time of inner peace and self-actualization. Although she still has a few decades to look forward to herself, Eniko seems to have great confidence in who she is and the life she's experienced. Here, she radiates inner beauty opposed to the outer beauty she had in her youth.

What are your thoughts on this editorial? Every time I take a look at these photos I'm amazed.

$10,000 by Thanksgiving to Raise Money for Breast Cancer

Miss Emily Tebbetts has been our blog photographer for almost a year now and today this post is about her and her amazing goal. Emily's mom has been fighting breast cancer for almost ten years now. As a way to help her Mom and to others suffering with cancer, Emily made it her goal to raise $5,000 by Thanksgiving with the promise of shaving her head if she reached this goal. Emily surpassed her original goal of $5,000 rather quickly, (she will be shaving her head) and now her mission is to raise $10,000!

Here are a few photos Emily has taken over the course of the past year for our blog... She is an extremely talented individual.

This is just a sample of the fabulous photos Emily has taken. She is truly an amazing girl and we are proud to call her a good friend of ours. She is the kind of person that will change the world.
