My Thank You's

Starting my very own business all on my own has been one of the most difficult and stressful things I have ever done. Most of the time I was at a complete loss as to what my next move should be. I started with just an idea, then moved on to months of patterning, cutting, sewing and creating of my products. I've made (and am still making) a lot of mistakes, but at least now I'm at a place that I am happy with. I've finally published my website and can officially start selling my clothes and products! I am so excited!

I would not however be at this point without the help of some very talented individuals.

After I completed making everything and prepping my website, in order to have the finished website that I was envisioning I needed to have attractive product photos. I needed to put together a team to help me with Zinaiz's very first photoshoot!

For starters, I of course needed models to wear my clothes. I could have done away with just one model, but it was really important for me to have models in each size that I offer to really showcase how my clothes would look like on a variety of body shapes. I was able to find some incredibly gorgeous ladies that were able to help me out with that: Chase, Marlee, Megan, Susie and Yulya. All were a complete blast to work with and made my products look great! I could not be happier with them.

So I had the clothes and accessories covered but I wanted to also use the opportunity to collaborate with my sister who is a rising hair and make-up stylist. I asked her to put together a team to help her out with doing all the hair and make up for the shoot and boy, did she deliver! She introduced me to the talented Lyndsey and Meagan who helped with all the hair and make up. I was so incredibly thankful to have the three of them to prep the models for the photoshoot because they did such a fantastic job!

So a big BIG BIG Thank you goes out to all these ladies for helping me out.

And a special thank you goes out to all the people who helped me out behind the scenes too like my family who helped me set up and prepare and of course Tigran who was there to support me and help me whatever way he could. Even helping to save the day when my backdrop was lost in the mail and didn't arrive in time for the photoshoot the day before... (yea I know I procrastinated, oops!).

Thank you all very much. I couldn't have been where I am today without you!
