I didn't have a deep vision for creating these images. I think simply put, I am drawn to quirky clothing patterns and grandma aesthetics. My friends and I drove down to Atlantic city from New York and just made a day of this shoot. The house we shot at has incredible wallpaper and was perfect to mix with the patterned clothing that I used to style the shoot. I wanted the "mood" of these images to feel distant, but childlike in order to capture ongoing adolescence and nostalgia for the past.
