- I had a (bleep)ing breakdown.
I literally hate everything.
This (bleep) is so hard.
I really think we're just building a huge vagina.
(thumping electronic music)
Hello!
My name is Jazzmyne.
And today, I'm going to try
the at-home photoshoot challenge.
The at-home photoshoot challenge
basically originated from
the Hobby Lobby photoshoot challenge.
I've been seeing people create
these awesome photoshoots with their curtains
and their rug and their rug
and their phone wrapped around a pole.
And I'm like, how are these things
looking for (bleep) gorgeous?
I specifically saw one girl on TikTok,
her name's Kimberly,
who set up these like huge scenes
and the photos come out like
they're straight out of a magazine.
I am here with Kimberly, Kimberly, how are you?
- Good. - Yay!
I wanted, first of all, just to give you an applause,
everything you are doing is so dope.
What made you start doing this in the first place?
- I wanted to be a model.
I needed a portfolio,
so I started reaching out a bunch of different photographers
like in the LA area.
And then they would just never respond.
- On some flaky (bleep).
- One day, I was like, no, you know what?
I'm gonna like do a real photoshoot.
It's gonna be elaborate, why not?
I like opened up a bunch of books
and laid them on my bed
and put on like my old homecoming dress from high school.
I taped my camera to the ceiling
and set the timer and started taking photos.
And then later on, I sent it to my friend,
and I was like, hey, what do you think of this photo?
And she was just like, oh my gosh, that's so good,
who took it?
- You are so innovative!
I'm so, like, scared.
- Don't be scared!
- I'm so scared!
I am realizing that this is gonna be a lot
and I might need, like, some creative help
or just someone to help me a little bit in general.
So, Kate?
- Yes, dear?
- [Jazzmyne] Will you, will you,
will you help me?
- Yeah.
- Okay, come on to my room.
This turned into a little bit of a couple's challenge.
- My expertise rangers from pressing the button
on the iPhone to gently nailing thumbtacks into the wall.
(ding)
- Do you have any tips?
- I used bed sheets and comforters as backdrops
for like all my shoots.
I think of what I wanna portray
and then have that as the mood.
- Okay, I have a lot of frames.
I also have a lot of lights.
Also many mirrors.
I also-- (laughing)
Oh, and I have a carpet.
I have these balloons.
Kate actually got for our anniversary.
Which, one, could be a prop,
but two, could also be to use as reflection.
I also have some flowers.
I don't know what any of that means for a photoshoot.
- What else did you say you had?
- Oh, food?
(laughing)
There's this little hallway that I have to my bathroom.
I feel like if we close this,
take these hats down,
I feel like we could get a cool, like, you know.
- [Kate] Mm, get that leg up.
- I want to try to like play with light,
play with the lens.
Maybe we could the mirror behind us.
Maybe we can put a mirror below us
and shine a light in it.
Like, do something a little bit more like--
- Artsy?
- Yeah.
Should we be couples bloggers?
- We already are.
- I know, we just look so cute together.
Are you ready?
- No.
(laughs)
(funky electronic music)
- This is kinda what we're lookin' at right here.
There's some dimension
and we can play with like, how that looks.
- [Kate] We can decorate the actual mirror,
we can decorate the space behind your actual head.
- Okay.
(beep)
I had about a 10-minute breakdown.
I am feeling stressed.
The pressure to take these photos and make it be good
is like, I don't know why I never think of this (bleep).
Let me, who the (bleep)'s car is that?
(laughing)
I, this is just like a lot of pressure.
I am so thankful that I have Kate here
because otherwise, I don't know what I would do.
- All neck, baby.
- We just threw this sheet up here.
(camera clicking) (laughs)
It's okay.
I don't think it's doing exactly what,
what we're lookin' for.
We're going back and forth between
cotton candy themed or just candy themed in general.
- Oh my God!
Who, me, the cotton candy?
(laughing)
What, how did I get here?
I'm so sticky!
- [Jazzmyne] Getting out.
- Oh no!
No, I'm in this very sticky candy place.
(laughing) No.
- You look like a vagina!
I feel bad for you.
- [Kate] Thank you.
- Aside from a monster. (laughing)
It's just so hard, this (bleep)'s so hard.
And you're over here, like, whoo!
And I'm like, but it won't work!
- Okay, guys, so, here I am with Jazzmyne
and her butt leggings.
(beep)
- It's about two hours in.
I really think we're just building a huge vagina.
(laughing)
- Mm, it's so warm and pink in here.
(laughing)
- [Lindsay] Okay, Jazz, if you wore, like,
all pink or something. - Yeah.
- [Lindsay] That might actually look not bad.
- [Jazzmyne] I'm just sitting here being like,
well, this is terrible,
and Kate's like, standing, taking photos in the vagina.
Honestly, I think this video is just
Kate discovering that they're a model.
♪ I am a new model ♪
- [Kate] We are having a creative breakthrough.
- What we're trying to see is if we can
put some texture around the lens of a camera
to make it look like I'm in something.
Right now, we're using cotton candy,
which Lindsay gifted to me from a previous video.
We don't know if this is gonna work.
We've been doing this for about three hours now
and we've gotten, Kate says far and I disagree.
- I'm just here to say I'm proud of us.
- I'm proud of you, you're the one who's
keeping the best attitude, I literally hate everything.
Last time I recorded for this video was on Friday.
It is now Monday.
We stopped because I had a (bleep)ing breakdown.
I got really anxious, I freaked out.
Like, I'm already anxious,
this is an anxious (bleep)ing time.
Nothing was cute, nothing looked as good as Kimberly's.
I was just like, over it.
But you know what?
I was on Kimberly's Instagram.
She posted yesterday.
She said, this shot took two days.
Not because it was difficult to create,
but I've been uninspired and not super motivated recently.
It was hard to push through and actually get ready
and start shooting.
Which is exactly like, I feel like
I was overthinking this (bleep)
because I was trying to make it like hers.
And then I realized that like, you know,
she was freakin' out too.
I'm gonna go a whole new direction.
I'm gonna take these balls of flowers off my wall
and I'm gonna put them on the wall that is outside.
I'm gonna do cute makeup.
I'm gonna wrap myself in like
this flower-like ivy that I have.
I hope it's cute.
So, at least I'm doing something.
(laughs) At least I'm doing something.
This is the wall that I'm filming on.
This is the start.
(funky big band music)
- [Kate] Ooh, you look pretty.
- Don't butter me up. - You look nice.
- We'll see!
I need some, like, fillers.
From what I made, those balls originally,
I still have like leftovers.
I am going to make a few more balls.
This is becoming a thing
that I did not think it would become.
(funky big band music)
I'm gonna start my makeup.
This is for my eyeliner.
Which I'm just gonna do something and hope, to be honest.
I hate it. (laughs)
What I did was just like some artsy lines.
Makeup is done.
Looks good, got the earrings on.
We're gonna try it out.
So, I am putting on these big shoes
so I don't have to stand on my tiptoes.
I want it, let's try close.
What are you doing?
Why are you takin' a picture of the camera?
- [Kate] For memories.
(funky electronic music)
- Just, I don't know if it's the outfit or what,
but something's not like comin' across.
Can you get me that flower over there?
(funky electronic music)
- Cheekbones are about to jump out of your (bleep)ing skull!
Oh!
Are you laying in a meadow?
- I'm laying.
What are they doing in there?
- I think they're burying a dead body.
(camera clicking)
- I think that's it.
I think we're done.
Kate's still trying to be a model. (laughs)
(beep)
All right, y'all, we are at the end of this video.
You have been watching me do this for two days!
I'm gonna do a little bit of editing on it right now.
It's cute, I don't really like edit my pictures.
Oh, clarity, don't know what that is.
Maybe some saturation.
You know what?
I'm no Kimberly.
There it is.
Y'all know I struggled through this, right?
I think I felt a lot of pressure
because it's gonna be like on the internet
and I don't want people to think that,
like, I did bad.
Or that I didn't try, because I really did!
But it came out okay.
I think it came out cute.
This (bleep) is hard.
And like, I'm creative, but like,
that's like a whole different mind and process
you have to go through.
I'm gonna challenge you guys.
I challenge you to try this.
Tag me, tag Kimberly.
This (bleep)'s hard.
I can't believe this really took me two days.
Two days for some (bleep)in' flowers.
