Welcome to MAXIM New Zealand Kayla! Tell us a bit about your shoot. It took place in Laguna Beach, California where we climbed rocks to get specific lighting and shots wiith different scenery! We really wanted to keep things simple yet sexy to really embody the MAXIM brand of "girl next door" vibes.
Give us a little more background about yourself and your life story so far I grew up in a small town outside of Orlando, Florida with my mum who was a single parent, so I have had to work very hard for the life I have built! I've been modelling for 10 years now, living in LA and pursuing that fully! I'm a small town girl from Florida who chased a dream in this industry. I've been published in MAXIM Australia, I was on the cover of Playboy SA and USA, I have shot for SI Swim and walked in their first ever Miami Swim Week runway show! Being a petite model before body inclusivity was a real thing has had its challenges, but persistence and hard work has paid off.
When do you feel sexy and why? I think feeling sexy is a state of mind, so it's hard for me to relate it to one particular time or thing where I feel my sexiest, but when I feel like when I'm in control of something that I know I'm good at, then it makes me feel powerful and sexy. For example, I love the way I feel when I am shooting a swimsuit or lingerie campaign and can channel my sexuality and embody what it means to be a woman and have that translate through the lens!
