Kailey!! these turned out so beautiful. The perfect mix of 'moody' but totally author-y and book jacket ready!! I'm so happy my post inspired you in some way. Just beautiful!!
Fellow fan of Chelsea B. here (as well as the specific post youre referring to); in fact, I subscribed to your Substack after attending the recent Write or Die virtual event you hosted her for (which I loved & got a ton out of!). I love this behind-the-scenes peek at your author photo inspo & experience and, esp as someone who feels similarly shy & awkward in front of a camera, I really appreciate you sharing this!! 😊
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! What a treasure to have these photos! I would never guess you felt shy about being photographed. You look so serene and confident in every shot! LOVE.
