Sunflower
Our melanin is magic. We wanted to do something that showcased the beauty of naturally shining bright despite the darkness. Just like the sunflower absorbs the sun for power and energy, as do we. Powerful, bright, radiant, & beautiful yellow is the color of self-worth, self confidence & intellect while also being the chakra that connects us to our mental self. Wearing yellow is uplifting, joyful, and happy. Yellow is is seen when it steps through the door. Being able to be surrounded by yellow and sunflowers while still being able to seen in the darkest of hues, remaining unapologetically, black highlights that fact that we remain intensely beautiful & powerful even amongst the brightest flowers. Being black has never been more beautiful.

Photographer: Brian of MT Photography and India have been best friends for 10 years. They met each other as models and immediately clicked. Brian is a soldier and shortly began traveling but the 2 kept in touch. Brian picked up a camera in 2015 and decided to be behind the lens instead, capturing memories and moments for others. His goal is capture people in a way that can be displayed in homes globally. Surprisingly, although Brian & India have known each other for a decade there was never time for the 2 to collab for a photoshoot, but once they did this was the result! Their very first time shooting together & they create magic!
Model: India has been modeling since 2010 and later became a dental assistants & paralegal. She recently re-entered the world of modeling in 2018 working with various photographers in the Austin area but needless to say her favorite photographer is her best friend Brian.
