Curious to hear your thoughts! Am now 35 and feeling like it's time to go a new direction, thinking more classy and mature but still want to keep it chic. Would love to hear your critiques and suggestions as it's time for a refresh and rebrand as I have been on hiatus, busy with life these last couple years and haven't kept up with fashion or the latest trends AT ALL.

Thank you in advance for any and all feedback! smile

I think you have a very versatile look.  If you're interested, I'd be happy to shoot some old Hollywood style portraits with you.  Something like this...

You could also pull off a pinup look, or go the opposite route and dress up like Morticia Addams.

Seems like you already made a big change with the dark hair. It's quite a different look than the blonde.

I worked at a commercial agency for a bit last year - I guess my first question would be, just glancing at your portfolio - what's your current hair color? Do you have digitals with your current hair? I think considering your age, I'd recommend something a touch more commercial vs the recommended more glam - especially in a market like LA. I'd recommend signing up to casting partner or something like that & looking for commercial jobs, a lot of work can be made easily in that market! Depends on if you act at all as well but either way, I'd make sure your book is updated with images that are current & look like you, very little to no natural retouching, natural lighting, etc. My two cents!

Maybe make a transition to motion / acting? I had some good collabs in L.A. and NYC for some fashion films -- but interested in revisiting this again recently. Maybe this time with some dialogue.  Link on my profile, would be curious to hear your feedback as well!
