Ok I follow Craig Seay on Instagram and he was posting pictures of Annabelle and I was like who this woman. I have to know more. She is unbelievably beautiful, just look at her. So with Craig help this is what she had to say.
1. How did you get into modelling?
I got into modelling about 11 years ago. I was raised on a cattle farm, in the midwest, Kansas. I always loved country music and grew up singing, so when I was 23 I took a leap of faith and moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue my dreams of singing, and performing. I got into modelling only because I was offered jobs that paid really well. I was trying to survive as a singer and that’s not easy. I had never thought in my wildest dreams I’d ever model, because I am a farm girl who didn’t stress too much about my appearance; instead I was out riding horses or helping my dad on our family farm.
2. How did you get involved working with Craig?
I was blessed to meet the talented Craig Seay, about 11 years ago through a mutual acquaintance. We are the dearest of friends, and now we are business partners.
3. What has been your favourite shoot?
My favourite shoot was most definitely my coastal beach tour with Craig Seay. We captured some wonderful images; that is what we will send along with this interview.
4. You look amazing what your secret?
‘As far as my “secret” or beauty regimen, I will say that I exercise 5 to 6 times a week, as well as eating a healthy diet.
5. What do you like to do to unwind?
To unwind, I love to spend time with my family, and love to be out in nature hiking, gardening and tending to my horses, goats and chickens.
6.How has the internet and social media help you get work?
I do find that social media is a great way to find work. Having the best photographer also helps .
7. What do you like about photography?
After modelling for many years, I grew very fond of assisting and styling models and musicians in shoots when Craig was shooting; so I got a camera of my own and started shooting. With a little help from Craig I picked it up fast, and I’m excited to say that we are now officially licensed as Belle Seay Photography and Artistry, and just recently launched our portfolio.
8. What do you hope the rest of 2018 has in store for you?
I look forward to great success being a photographer as well as some modeling in 2018/2019.
