Last night the National Finals of Maxim Australian Swimwear Model of the Year 2019 took place in the Gold Coast, and my friend Chantelle was one of the finalists!

I’m so proud of her ranking 2nd Runner Up!!!

Chantelle came to me last month to get her official photo for the competition taken and I’m just so happy what we created helped her get that far!

She IS one of the most beautiful women I have had the pleasure to work with, but more than that, Chantelle is one of those rare people that fills the room with joy as she enters, no matter how difficult things can be for her at any time.

CONGRATULATIONS Chantelle! You deserve EVERYTHING!

So here’s a look back at our work together, since when we first met in 3rd September 2016, when we were both just dreaming and trying to figure it out what to do in this crazy amazing industry!
