So... I have an issue with this term - Plus Size. I wish the fashion industry, collectively, would come up with a better term; or maybe no term at all. We are all just women - whatever size we happen to be is natural.  As fashion progresses, I really hope the industry can embrace our natural bodies and start representing us more naturally.  So many amazing, natural sized women are starting to make headway into main stream fashion & it's so amazing to see!

Some of my favorite Instagramers - Denise Bidot | Tara Lynn | Allexa D'Alessio - All of these women are strong, talented, smart, beautiful & so, so inspiring!

Regardless of what it's called, this project was so fun to shoot! Our model, Allexa was such a joy to work with and the team was great! We also got to shoot in my fab backyard - flowers and our lemon tree were the perfect backdrop!
