VENITA ASPEN
When I think about formative experiences, my time working with Venita Aspen will always be towards the top of that list.
While working with her, I had the opportunity to photograph for JCrew, Lulu’s, and more. I partook in content creation, development, concept planning and more. I also assisted in managing Venita’s website, her internet real estate that acted as her blog and portfolio.
Honestly, I did a little bit of it all and I love to talk about it. Due to COVID 19 and travel restrictions, I quickly became one of Venita’s most used photographers. Combined with her natural beauty, it made for an easy gig. Below features work for 10 West Edge, Lululemon, Tory Burch, Dudley Stephens, Blade and Bow Whiskey, CROSBY by Mollie Burch, Julia Berolzheimer x Neeley and Chloe and more.
