With all my class of 2011 seniors going back to school this week, I wanted to share additional images from the September issue of [ZOOEY Magazine] that hits newsstands this month!! I am so excited, and fortunate to be working with this amazing magazine based out of Los Angeles!! ZOOEY stands for everything I base my business on – empowering young women to feel beautiful, and taking care of the environment. Be sure to check your local [Barnes & Noble] for a copy. (Seattle will have it available at the University Village, Downtown and Bellevue locations. Many California stores will also have it if you want to order out-of-state. Feel free to email me for a full list of store locations.)
This shoot was a complete BLAST to work on!! We cast our three models from over 70 “real high school teens”, and featured them in a fun, fall, “Back-to-School” editorial – complete with ALL our favorite fall trends! We shot over TWO full days around Seattle back in June, and I am so thrilled with how everything came together to tell the story. It’s meant to be a Day in the life of three friends, going back to school for Fall 2010. These are just a final selection of my favorite images. Some appear in the magazine, others were additional favorites. The editorial is a complete 20-page spread and features additional images not seen here, so be sure to check it out!!
Here’s a small blurb from [Stacy Zimmerman's] article that you can check out on [ZOOEY Magazine's Website]. More in the September issue!
