“I just think a big smile and feeling confident makes you beautiful.”

— Maye Musk

Once every so often you meet a person who completely captivates you with their spirit, their energy, their joie de vivre. Maye Musk is such a woman — I loved her immediately.

Maye has had a luminous career as a top fashion model and actress, gracing the covers of Elle, Time and New York magazines, and commercials for Revlon, Cover Girl and even a music video with Beyonce. And her career keeps rolling along, embracing beauty at any age.

For this personal shoot, Maye kept her easy, beautiful energy going, up for any idea from Italian scooters to martinis and tousled hair. Modern, fresh and spontaneous — personified.
