Lucy's Fearless Spirit Story

I photographed Lucy and her brother when they were kids. I never forgot her tough and playful personality. When she joined the Fearless Spirit Model Crew, Lucy was bullied for being tall. She also had a fear of being left alone or forgotten.

She is an amazing artist. She loves drawing and often draws on her friend's skin, like temporary tattoos. She's incredible at doing makeup, especially special effects makeup and nail art.

I love how tall and strong she is. When I needed a hand, all I had to do is look at her...and she was there, helping out. All of the other girls looked up to her and just loved being around her. If someone was trying to isolate themselves, she would go out of her way to bring them back in to the group and make them feel accepted. 

The song used in her video is meant to be ironic because she is so NOT "JUST a girl". She is SO much more. She is not a wilting flower...she is tough and incredibly fierce. Lucy is passionate. She is passionate about her loved ones. She is passionate about her friends. She loves fiercely and when she's your friend, she will move mountains to protect you. That's a friend you will never forget.
