Chelsea

I met and tested with model Chelsea and wanted to share more with you about her. I've asked her to put together a little introduction about herself. She was fun to work with and I can't wait to capture her again. I'm building a little editorial to shoot with her and I can't wait to share those images with you!

"Hi I am Chelsea Lawrence! I am a recent Graduate from University of Northwestern with a Theatre major and a Music Emphasis. I have been a model and actress most my life but now since graduating in December I have picked up to full-time as a freelancer.

I love all forms of this industry and have experienced many sides. My main focuses are as a director for stage work, Acting on camera, Modeling in all aspects (I will never do crude or suggestive photography in the nude or lingerie or swimwear) And I love to be involved on the production side in all of these venues!

In my free time I love to use all forms of art mediums and I also do my own photography on the side. My short term goal in life is to continue to focus on marketing my business and profession in this industry. My long term goal is to become an internationally recognized director of film and theater. My passion is to use art as a tool that elevates humanity by drawing upon classical mediums combined with the modern. My life mission is to spread love, life, and joy into the world and I will do this with one smile at a time."

Cigarette's are not cool. Such a beautiful young lady will eventually find her self surrounded with young followers; mimicking her style, and her habits bad and good.

Consider the image, if these images are circulated it might reduce your chances to land gigs for the industries that apposed to these products like the natural foods, health care, exercise clothing and equipment marketing departments.

What's not cool is telling other people what's cool. What you're effectively saying is that all young people are lemmings and have no means of making choices for themselves. Mimicking anyone for any reason is ridiculous, most people past the age of 12 figure this out just fine all on their own and if you're 11 and smoking cigarettes I doubt it's because of some image you saw.

If someone can't hire me because I took a picture of a model smoking a cigarette, I don't want to work for them. That would be THE WORST CLIENT EVER.

I usually don't respond to internet trolling. Congrats. I hope your take away is a lesson in objectivity with a dash of a reality check.

What our customers have to say

I worked with Elle Halls of Nouvelle Design Studio for my business profile picture (used for LinkedIn, email, website, business cards, etc.) and she was amazing! She really listened to what I wanted, and made me a part of the process, stopping many times throughout the shoot to show me how the photos were looking. What I thought was going to be a "business errand/chore" ended up being a lot of fun! I highly recommend using Elle for your photography project.

Excellent experience. Elle was able to coach out the "model" in me and provided many shots I can pick from. She went well above and beyond me expectations and the final product is excellent.

Working with Elle was wonderful! I was doing a fashion shoot and it was so fun! She's very nice, funny, and professional, the shoot went like that! She has a very keen eye and did wonderful work! Very happy with my photos. Thanks, Elle!

I love the photos of myself and my daughter. We were given excellent direction so we could get the best shots. I couldn't be happier with the results! I highly recommend booking a session for any type of photography you are looking for!
