unforeseen 7 day quadruplets

1,000+

that portrait up there is of your mellow faced blogger. and those digits, of the amount of hits my blog has gotten in the past 7 days. i am quite pleased ^__^.  i must modestly admit that i was not expecting this many hits in just a week. now, i know there are alot of blogs out there that get 1000+ hits a day, but most of these sites are pretty dignitary blogs that have been around for quite some time. but my blog is nowhere near that (yet). also considering that i just RECENTLY installed my hit counter, and started blogging almost daily.  i'm just a complacent, html inquisitive, curious aspiring queens girl. ʘ‿ʘ. i have been a bit negligent towards my blog lately. but it's because i have been hooked on this new layout i'm working on. the one everyone keeps stealing screenshots of lol... i love it. ever since i've gotten back into my layouting i have become notably absorbed. i haven't even worked on THIS sites coding smh. still,i can't wait to finish my new layout . its not for my blog though... its for my.......

sneak peak pt II

i love layouting/designing/coding WAY TOO much.

i'd ask you not to steal this screenshot

but i know you will.

i am left with nothing but flattery.

I've gone through some recent metamorphosis. both introspectively and physically. the intelectual change surpasses, pleases and fits me best yet. but we'll talk about the physical alterations for now. i've lost 15 pounds in the past month or so, grown out my dark hair, and have embraced a more raw, natural semblance.

this, and recent life lessons,  is what has been considerably motivating me into becoming once again more diligent with my aspirations. and after the shoot i had with a. cerdena my determination has tripled in size.

my recent shoot i wanted to be captured in a very soft, genuine, natural demeanor. this was greatly achieved through a bed/window pane series. then we started playing around with some lighting and went from delicate to d i v a!

makeup and hair by yours truly ;)

aesthetic principles.

one of my first shoots. 

about 5 months into my modeling.

thejohnfloyd.

morals. dignity. principles. beliefs. integrity. ethics.

every single one means a whole lot to me. these are the main ingredients in a stephanie recipe. regardless of whatever comes my way, i try my best to keep my morals. and one of the most challenging ways to practice this is through my modeling.

i have been modeling for about two years. a gorgeous and good friend of mine not only mentioned but encouraged and showed me how to get my portfolio started. soon enough i was networking my life away with all kinds of photographers/makeup artists/models. from inept rookies to gifted pros. i would shoot up to 5 times a week. eagerly working on my look, experience, and portfolio. eventually i began collaborating with different businesses. from up and coming street wear to world renowned top makeup brands. i only shoot beauty/glamour/editorial. i don't do fashion, being that i am petite. 

plus i feel i am best at beauty anyway.

i do not do nudity. with anyone for anything. i am also extremely careful in how i portray myself in every shot. i try my best to portray grace, taste, and class. while still being able to stay alluring, sexy, sensual, and natural.

i have done implied nudity in the past. after all, one shouldn't deprecate what one knows little about. i see nothing wrong in nude modeling, and look up to many beautiful models who do nude.

 but it's just not for me.

it has only been 2 years so i'm still a baby. and i have a long way to go before i can go from ASPIRING model to MODEL. but i LOVE it. there was a time when certain hardships life threw at me made me cease my modeling all together. but that has long gone now and i have been back on my grind.

i recently have been greatly inspired to start shooting again as much as i can. the 5x a week shoots is what got me the great gigs, which then came with the great opportunities and publicity. 

but it all starts with hard work.

i will be posting up pictures from my latest (and definitely one of my favorite) shoot with the talented alejandro cerdena in my next post.
