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!! 😊
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!!
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.
As someone working on her first novel (at age 47!), I love this. Super inspiring and great advice. Your photos are beautiful!
I love that you are working on a novel! Good luck! Enjoy the journey haha :) and thank you ✨☺️
It's stressful to think about having author photos taken but this is sage advice!
Thank you! Im happy it turned out to be fun!
Love this
