00:00So I walk in on picture day.
00:02This is my dream job.
00:03I love having my picture taken, so I'm ready to go.
00:05And the editors, they just look so boring.
00:09What's with the outfit?
00:10Wait, you guys, it's picture day.
00:12Where, in Mykonos?
00:13Julia's really sweet, but she seems a little naive.
00:15I mean, we're talking about headshots
00:16for your LinkedIn page, and she was here
00:18like she was doing high school glamour shots at the mall.
00:20Are you planning on casting a spell?
00:22I'm gonna head out of here because it's time for my picture.
00:24I hope that you guys, like, jazz it up just a little bit.
00:27She looked a little like strawberry shortcake on an acid trip.
00:30I'm dying to see the pics.
00:32I walk in, a gray wall and a stool.
00:34It's like, where are the props?
00:35You are the prop, babe.
00:36So it's not the first time I've worked with absolutely nothing.
00:39So obviously, I'm gonna make magic happen.
00:41Three, two, one.
00:42Okay.
00:43That's what she wanted to wear.
00:45And I'm not here to judge.
00:46Just here to shoot.
00:47We definitely got it. Thank you.
00:49Yep. Okay.
00:50Next.
00:51I see Jonathan walk in, and I thought to myself,
00:53this is going to be a disaster.
00:55Say, um, I love my job on three.
00:57I love my job.
00:59Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:59No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:01I love my job.
01:02I had heard enough.
01:03I was thinking we turn a little bit.
01:05Okay.
01:06And then like a look over the shoulder.
01:08I'm not in a sorority.
01:09Like, what do you want me to do?
01:10Be like, oh.
01:11Julia took over my job, but if I'm being honest,
01:13I'm not even a photographer.
01:14More. I need a little bit more for you.
01:16Yes.
01:16I look like I'm in my communion photos.
01:19Come on. Give it a shot.
01:20Listen, I don't need to be on my knees at the workplace.
01:23I'm done.
01:23Next.
01:24Taylor definitely stepped up the game.
01:26She was totally willing to lean into some of the sparkle
01:29I was expecting these editors to bring.
01:31Mary-Kate and Ashley always said a prude, so like, prude.
01:33Yeah, as if I don't know that they said that.
01:37Hey, Cara, Madeline, what's going on?
01:40There's like a line.
01:41They're doing like 20 different looks in there.
01:44What? Yeah.
01:45If it weren't for me, the LinkedIn pictures of these editors
01:49would be horrible.
01:49What if you did like a...
01:51Yeah, perfect.
01:53Okay.
01:54Chin up.
01:54Definitely chin up.
01:55Perfect.
01:56We definitely got it.
01:57Thanks, Danielle.
01:58Next.
01:58Hey.
01:59Cute.
02:00Okay, surface.
02:01You know what I think might make this better?
02:03Another person.
02:04Where's Madeline?
02:04What?
02:04We need two editors and one photo.
02:06Like, let's think outside of the box, people.
02:08One, two, three, at me.
02:10Yep.
02:10I'm ready for my clothes stuff.
02:12Mm.
02:13Kevin, what if we took this jacket off and you kind of wore it as a hat?
02:16Oh, wait.
02:17I already knew what I was doing.
02:18I just let Julia think she was directing me.
02:21So then I start really thinking outside of the box and I decide to get in Kevin's pictures
02:25because we're both wearing blue.
02:26Hi.
02:26Hi.
02:27I was pretty confused when I walked in.
02:29There was a lot of creative license that was being taken.
02:32So this is for the head shots?
02:34It's getting head.
02:35Will you just walk me through what we got going?
02:38Yes.
02:38This is where the vision came to life.
02:41Wow.
02:41These look, that one looks amazing.
02:44God, she does have an eye.
02:46Now this, this is fashion.
02:48This is InStyle.
