The Erin Cross Way: Photo Series

Girl you move like Sade

We wanted to experiment with the idea of the infamous Sade photo. Her iconic denim on denim with the low braid was so signature, we were inspired to recreate it. That braid is a $4.99 pack of braiding hair. Every black girl should have one on deck.

I met Erin through my friend Jonnie. They are photographer buddies. This was my second time working with a female photographer and I loved her energy and warmth while shooting these. Erin is from the DMV area and recently moved to California. If you want to check out her work or book her for any gigs please check out her Instagram @theerincross and her website www.theerincross.com . Erin styled the shoot. Hair and make-up by yours truly.

Ivy Park fit!

As a Beyonce stan, you know I wasn’t going to sleep on the Ivy Park launch. I grabbed the sweatshirt and the shorts and this was actually it’s debut. Athleisure wear might be my middle ground. I always thought of myself as two extremes, either super glammed up or raggedy. Now I can say I’ve found my middle.

A.D.I.D.A.S.

These photos were taken while in quarantine. The backdrop was the neighborhood. The images below are quite literally a Slay at Home Order.

Square One. First look of the shoot.

Stoop kid afraid to leave the stoop.
