Here's the last of our three outfit series for Motel Rocks. This last one we shot on the rooftop lounge of the Dana Hotel and Spa. We had a complimentary cocktail and watched the sun set on the beautiful city of Chicago.

I think as we were shooting that last photos with our glasses cheering, I was complaining about my legs being cold. Shooka was like, "really?" "really? Look where we are!" And she was right, I wasn't focused in that moment, on how wonderful and beautiful everything truly was, and what an amazing day we had being creative for Motel.

Through everything, it is so truly important to be grateful. Even on our off days. I feel like that's the key, if you can maintain a heart of gratitude even on days that aren't going so well, you're gold. You must be the one that creates conditions that allow you to thrive. And you have to be able to love yourself enough to all yourself to do that.

I try to help the people around me grow creatively as much as possible, because they do that for me tenfold.
