Alright, let's take a POLL. Do you listen to music

Alright, let's take a POLL. Do you listen to music while you work or are you a silent & focused kind of gal? 🎶⁠
⁠
I used to only work in silence as I found music to be distracting. But slowly over the past year I've found myself enjoying a little background tunes. I typically turn on some feel good vibe playlists from Spotify (mostly oldies), maybe a little classic rock, ZBB or Stevie Wonder if I'm wrapping up the day. Not going to lie though, ever since doing this @koolaburra shoot at @thebeachlodge and playing Leon Bridges, I'm totally digging his sound!⁠
⁠
So tell us below if you listen to any music, and if so, what kind of tunes help you get through the work day.

Stay focused. Do the hard work and do it often. Le

Stay focused. Do the hard work and do it often. Lend a helping hand and be kind. The day-to-day grind may not be glamorous, but it's the small details that help you rise to the top. | Boss lady vibes from our very own @chrissyjanephoto

[for all those waiting to take engagement photos, it's a great time to secure a future session with your photographer because we'll be BUSY as soon as this quarantine ends. Purchase a gift card, pay a 50% deposit and be first on the list to schedule available dates. Plus, it gives you a good opportunity to start creating moodboards together, location scouting and more!]

Here at Modish Digital, we believe in community over competition and in supporting other women owned businesses because each of us have a story, a passion and there is enough space for all of us to thrive! We're excited to kick off a fun new ✨WOMEN IN BUSINESS✨ series highlighting some bad-ass ladies showing up in the entrepreneurial game day in & day out.⁠
⁠
Let’s get started with Kelsey Wilbanks, founder of @Revelrea – a DC based women’s hat company that makes stylish, lightweight caps + visors with hand-painted prints. In a world where women’s athleisure had come so far, she recognized that hats, and especially visors, were still an afterthought. Thus, Revelrea was created so women could shop for the perfect hat with intention, style & confidence. The name Revelrea even means joy – a feminine take on the word “revelry.” ⁠ ⁠
Building Revelrea wasn’t easy. Kelsey was saddled with $150k in law school loans & feeling unsatisfied with her job as a law firm attorney. Nonetheless, she remained focused, created a budget & aggressively paid down her debt while also waking up at 5am every day to work on this biz. She did it all, from examining different hat designs, paying attention to features & materials and visiting fabric shops only to be disappointed in the available prints. This inspired Kelsey to paint her own prints and turn those prints into textiles.⁠ ⁠
The early days were tough, from researching potential factories to negotiating samples and bulk order quotes, sending surveys to friends and asking them to test samples on vacations to teaching herself how to build a website. Finally, she budgeted just over $5k of savings to start producing and Revelrea launched in July 2019 with the first 5 prints named after friends who helped test the initial concepts. Growing the business has been a wild fun ride, but this is just the beginning!⁠ ⁠
KELSEY’S TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED:⁠ ⁠
1. Keep a “figure sh*t out” attitude. Google it. YouTube it. If you want to build something, no one will hold your hand. ⁠ ⁠
2.Maintain your full-time job & low overhead until you can survive without. I still work full-time as a lawyer & am not afraid to get scrappy!⁠
⁠
Thanks Kelsey!

PHOTOGRAPHY TIP — look for light colored surface

PHOTOGRAPHY TIP — look for light colored surfaces to use as a natural reflector. This could be anything from white/neutral colored walls on the side of a building, sand at the beach, table or countertops in light wood tones or marble, soft bedding and even gravel + dirt paths like what's seen here.⁠
⁠
Rather than standing in the green grass, we opted to position me on the path so I was utilizing the natural reflector of the ground.⁠
⁠
So next time when you're out scouting for a location, take a look around you and determine what you could use as a natural reflector to help bounce soft light onto your subject!⁠

We've got some new friends around here so we wante
