When I first met him, I had arrived at Hotel Monaco: an amazing, colorful and perfectly clashing hotel with the best waiting room I have ever seen. I met with seven other models there so we could shoot a cover image with David Koechner. They decided to use another shot when the magazine came out, but here's the image as proof because I know a lot of you don't believe me:

As for this SWAG shoot--the magazine gives it's subscribers the chance to receive free clothes in every issue, and they needed models to show off what they can win. We met at Saturn Style Studios and as we entered the door, we were greeted by a tub of clothes and accessories.
It took awhile to get everyone in a random outfit. Quickly realizing that every item of clothing was extra-large or bigger, we decided that a somewhat "sleepover" theme would be the most believable. With about seven girls and two boys, the theme switched around to fighting over the two boys, all of course while trying to successfully show off the clothing people were to wear.
The photographer was having a blast, cracking up at everything we were doing, shouting out ideas and then placing us here and there. We got to see the images as she switched and emptied memory card after memory card.
This shoot was interesting for me--I had never worked with that many people in one photo before so it was a good challenge trying to match everyone else in feeling and emotion. Though, I do tend to take things more seriously and the shoot was overall just for fun, so I allowed my stoic self to be a little more lenient with emotions ;) Not everything is professional, meredith. Silly girl.
