     “no problem.” the girl replied with a smile, focusing on taking the pictures for the other. “i do all sorts of it, but i do a lot of just… causal, candid and not so candid portraits, both on film and digital. i edit content for social media, too.” the young woman replied, a bright grin on her face as she talked about her job. the blonde took a few more pictures before standing back up, showing the brunette the pictures she’d just taken. “i’m happy to do it !” ellie replied with a soft chuckle as she handed the phone back and tucked her hair behind her ears. “awesome, yes, i’d love that. it’s at ellierobinsons, what’s yours ? i’ll follow you. i love your outfit, by the way. where did you get your shoes ?” 

❛ oh, that’s awesome ! honestly, i might hit you up sometime to take some pictures, if that’d be okay ? i usually take most of my pictures for insta myself, or terrorize my friends when we hang out. sometimes i post the random modeling jobs i get, but that’s the only time i ever really have, like, professional shots, you know ? it’d be fun to kinda mix it up, ❜ she doesn’t even realize she’s rambling, looking through the pictures with a satisfied hum, ❛ an artistic genius, truly ! they look so good ! ❜ she switches over to instagram and types in ellie’s name, following her right then and there so she wouldn’t forget, mine’s just at ivyserrano, you should see me in your followers ! thank you so much ! you are too cute. i can’t remember where i found these, but they’re gucci ! ❜

mathieuberinut​:

Mat was a bit on a rush to get to a meeting after having slept in for a little longer than he planned to. His management didn’t take too kindly to latecomers and that’s why Mat found himself running through the streets of Kingsboro to make it on time. He should have called for a cab or used his car but it was too late now. The last thing he needed was to be stopped in order to take a photo for someone to be aesthetic. He was about to say just that but hit his tongue at the last second. Snapping would probably cause a fight and he had even less time for that. “Fine, but you should know that I’m not a photographer and this is probably going to end up looking worse than if you just took it yourself”, he said, taking the phone from her.

at first, ivy thinks he’s simply just going to keep walking, which honestly wouldn’t surprise her as she had lived in new york city her entire life and had gotten used to the general attitude in the city, but she’s pleasantly surprised at his reluctant agreement. ivy was a bit thrown off by his tone, obviously realizing he didn’t really want to, but she forced a smile anyway and tried to keep her own attitude in check, grateful that he was still going to help, ❛ it’ll be so quick, i promise ! and the pictures don’t have to be perfect, i have the live photo option turned on so i can, like, pick the best frame out of three seconds. and my editing skills are supreme, so anything will work ! thanks, dude. ❜ she quickly strikes a pose, holding still for a moment so he could hopefully get a semi-decent shot.

claudiafernandez96​:

If she wasn’t a scholarship holder with MGH galleries, Claudia would still be waking up at 3 in the morning and graffitiing walls of old buildings in east kingsboro, rocks in parks, and the sides of cafes and restaurants in west kingsboro. She occasionally liked to get high and go on walks to admire her old work, sometimes if it were dark enough she’d grab some spray paint and add something new to some of her old work. She was gazing at one of her old pieces when someone interrupted her thoughts. “Ivy…hey.” She snuffed out her joint on the wall before reaching out for her phone. “Yeah I don’t mind. I know all the right angles anyway. I took a photography class last semester. I’m no where near as good as Ellie, but I know the basics.” She chuckled to herself. “Now, give me a pose that says I’m a bad bitch.”

completely oblivious to the fact that she was talking to the actual artist of the mural, focused on herself as per usual, ivy lit up into a grin when claudia agreed to help, ❛ i appreciate you so much ! your mind is so powerful, i’m sure it’ll turn out great ! but that’s perfect, ‘cause i always have the little grid on so you can line it up for the rule of thirds. and since you took a fancy college class i know you’ll get it just right for me ! ❜ she hands her phone over with the camera already pulled up and walks over to a good spot, laughing as she tried to do as she was told, stepping one foot slightly forward and cocking her hips,  ❛ does this work ? is this bad bitch enough ? ❜

alessandra-mendoza​:

The blonde had been jonesin’ for her second coffee of the day so that’s exactly what she was out to retrieve. Although, to be honest, it was mostly sugar, cream and caramel syrup as she didn’t quite like the taste of actual coffee and tried to mask it as often as possible. When she was beckoned by the other, Alessandra set the cup down “sure. Are you going for a certain angle? You want a full body shot? What’s your vision?”

❛ thank you, queen, i really appreciate it ! ❜ ivy lets out a soft laugh as she hands her phone over, humming in contemplation while she decides what she wants, ❛ okay, so definitely full body shot, if you can ! these shoes are too cute not to show off. as for the angle and all that, i don’t really care ! whatever you think looks good ! do you know about the rule of thirds ? i have the little grid thing-y turned on, so it’s easier to line up ! ❜

charlie-p​:

“Lucky guess… most people who ask turn out to have like 50 thousand followers on whatever app they have,” she explained, taking a few photos in both portrait and landscape. “Here… do you want to check them?”

Charlie often found herself having similar conversations with people around here. She’d wondered if she needed to be a little bit more like them, but quickly decided against it. The constant thought of her being known my thousands terrified her, even if it was behind a screen.

“Do you live here, or are you visiting? I know a few more places you may like to visit.”

ivy bites her lower lip gently to suppress a laugh, instead humming softly, ❛ only 50k ? if you think that’s a lot, wait ‘til you find out my followers are on the scale of millions. i mean, not to brag... ❜ she takes back her phone and scrolls through the pictures, using her hand to block the glare caused by the sun on the screen, ❛ these are actually perfect, thank you again ! you’re a natural ! i seriously owe you one. ❜ she tucks her phone into her back pocket and flashing a wide smile, ❛ oh, i’m a native. well, a new york native, at least ! i’ve always lived in the city, but i’ve been in kingsboro specifically for the last couple years. but still, i’d love some suggestions if you have some good ones ! there’s so many hidden gems in this place. plus, i think i spend way too much time in the north side, i really need to branch out more. ❜

wesleyrees​:

wesley gives her a tight-lipped smile - one practically exuding his annoyance, “it is - i swear to god you must have me under some sort of spell or something,” he says, “for there can be no other reason.” as much as he despised ivy, he could never quite shake her, no matter how hard he tried. and her very next words were only a reminder as to why he never should’ve come in the first place, “you are pure evil, you know that?” he seethes, not even wanting to think about the whole world seeing him look that stupid. he preferred to be stupid in private. “my fucking bad, i’ve never done this before. not all of us can be experts at everything,” he retaliates, staring her down as she ties his skates. “i didn’t hear one please in that whole sentence,” he cocks a brow, “good thing i’m nice and will do it anyways though,” wesley attempts to stand, his knees weak and his legs wobbly and he makes his way to the rink. “if you’re so good at this, why don’t you go out there and show me how it’s done,” he challenges.

❛ don’t worry, it’s not just you. i just have that effect on people— i always get what i want in the end, ❜ ivy laughs lightly as she stands up, wobbling just slightly before quickly finding her balance. ❛ i do know that, yes. for your sake, i’ll choose to take that as a compliment. but, seriously, how have you never gone ice skating before ? i thought you were rich, this is such a stereotypical rich person thing ! ❜ she laughs so suddenly at him calling himself nice that she actually snorts, shaking her head playfully, ❛ now wait, this is you being nice ? jeez, at least i’m honest about being evil. ❜ never one to turn down a challenge, without another word she steps out onto the ice, briefly turning around to skate backwards and flip him off, just wanting to show off and rub it in as much as she could, though she quickly turns back the right way to avoid tripping over anyone. as she makes it back around the loop, she skids to a stop in front of him, extending her hand out, ❛ now are you going to join me, or just watch me skate around the whole time ? come on, it’s not that hard, i’ll teach you how. ❜

pixiedarrow​:

she was so focused on the task at hand that pixie didn’t even realize the gold she had struck with the volunteer she had chosen to help her. it wasn’t until she was halfway back across the street, head down as she scribbled in her notebook, that her brain connected the face of the woman who was helping her with a name, and then further, her connection to her case. she gasped, her head flying up. “wait! you’re ivy, right? ivy serrano?” okay, dial it back, pixie, this was weird enough as it is. “you’re friends with tierney hastings, right? i’m looking into her case for a friend. can i buy you a coffee?” she asked with a warm smile. 

it’s no secret that ivy’s ego is practically the size of the moon, and being recognized in any capacity only fed into that. she smirks slightly and tries to feign humility to not be so obviously full of herself, nodding her head with a soft laugh, ❛ yes... yeah that’s me. ❜ she would never admit it out loud, but she’s slightly disappointed she isn’t being recognized for the reasons she first assumed, but her eyes light up anyway at the mention of her friend’s name, ❛ oh. yeah, tierney’s one of my besties ! i could never say no to a free coffee, especially when the offer is coming from such an angel. if i’m not mistaken, i think there’s a really cute local place just a couple blocks away. starbucks is great and all, but local is always better, right ? ❜

robinscnfm​:

     “yeah, totally.” the young blonde replied as she was stopped by the other on the middle of the street, smiling. “y’know, i actually, like, do this for a living.” she mentioned casually. ellie didn’t really need the work at the moment but then again, she knew better than to turn down potential work. she got into position and looked at the screen of the phone, making sure the frame was straight and that the lighting was good. “okay, on three.” she announced. “one, two…” snap.

❛ you’re such a queen, thank you ! ❜ ivy laughs as she takes a few steps backwards, so her entire outfit could fit in the frame. ❛ wait, do you really ? then i hit the jackpot, didn’t i ? what kind of photography do you usually do ? ❜ she curiously inquires, always looking for ways to improve her social media content. she settles into a pose as ellie counts down, only feeling slightly ridiculous in this position. ❛ you’re seriously a blessing ! ❜ she praises as she steps closer again and reaches for her phone, ❛ if you want, i can tag you and give you photo creds ! what’s your insta ? ❜

[ivyisms]

What emotion do you experience the most?

❛ is horny an emotion ? if not, probably... honestly ? annoyance. people are so damn aggravating sometimes ! like, the fact that everyone doesn’t just.. do what i want them to do is so rude. ❜

[ivyisms]

If you could go back to one historical event to witness it, what would it be and why?

❛ i failed history so i don’t know a lot of specific events, but honestly i’d love to know what it was really like in ancient greece. i would give anything to get to meet sappho ! how could would that be ? ❜

[ivyisms]

do you think you'll ever settle down one day?

❛ settling down isn’t really in my vocabulary, no. at least not in a traditional sense. i’m just not a settler. but that’s why i’m so lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend that thinks the same way i do ! we do things our way, i love it. ❜ @fiiore
