Featured Portfolio | Chelsea Heinrich
By Meg Swain
Chelsea is a normal, small town girl striving to achieve her dream of becoming a high-end fashion model. She aspires to walk runways all over the world and take social media by storm. We love her ambition and motivation to enter the modelling industry. She came into our studio to gain some modelling experience and develop a modelling portfolio.
Chelsea takes great pride in her appearance and uses her clothing to express who she is and what she is feeling. She explains, ‘I love getting dressed up, because when I look good I feel my most confident.’ Her style inspiration is social media personality Alissa Violet; she loves how Alissa’s style is versatile and she can rock any style and always look amazing. Chelsea’s personal style is ‘simple and elegant’. She loves minimalism, opting for simple colours and trendy pieces to round out her look. She is up to date with the top brands, naming Stussy, Silent Theory, Forever New, Calvin Klein and Wrangler as her favourites.
The styling of Chelsea’s shoot was focused around taking her looks from casual to formal. She had 3 key looks for this shoot. For her casual look she rocked a comfy Silent Theory jumper with wide legged tailored black pant and black and white sneakers. She swept up her curls into an updo, wearing bronze gold eyeshadow and a nude lip colour to allow her natural features to shine through.
For her semi-formal look she removed her Silent Theory jumper, opting instead for a red strapless bodycon top. We love how Chelsea accessories this look! She experiments with a mustard yellow scarf and a denim jacket, using them not just as accessories but as fun props for her shots as well. The simplicity of this look allows the bold colours of black, red and mustard to stand out in her photos.
For her formal look Chelsea is giving us major Grace Kelly vibes! Her elegant yellow dress is floor length and looks stunning on camera. For some shots she lets her curls down and they fall over one shoulder. We love how she adds an extra element of glamour to this look with a white fur wrap. This look is the perfect mix of classic and glam!
We loved having Chelsea in the studio and wish her nothing but great success in the modelling industry in the future!
