Maranda for Plume Beauty - Bold Color and Confident Style by Cynthia Bennett Photography

Bold, Brilliant, and Unapologetically Hers

Every once in a while, a model steps in front of the camera and radiates a kind of energy that commands attention — confidence, color, and quiet power.
That’s exactly what Maranda brought to this Plume Beauty Launch Series session.

Her look was pure vibrancy — from her high, sculpted natural bun wrapped in golden thread to her kaleidoscopic top that danced with pattern and color. The styling felt both artistic and effortless, a nod to her bold personality and creative spirit.

A Journey of Beauty and Culture

Originally from Georgetown, Guyana, Maranda moved to Washington, D.C. at just three years old.
Her story — a blend of Caribbean roots and D.C. influence — shines through in her presence. She carries the warmth of her heritage with the poise of a seasoned creative.

Since launching her modeling career in 2020, Maranda has worked across fashion, lifestyle, and beauty — and it’s clear she’s found her voice both in front of and beyond the camera. Whether she’s walking the runway or collaborating on editorial shoots, she brings intentionality and grace to everything she touches.

Effortless Editorial Energy

This session was designed to celebrate color, culture, and confidence — the essence of Plume Beauty.
The first look paired a bold patterned top with a flowing black skirt, a perfect balance of structure and movement. Her second look, a navy shirt dress, showcased her refined, minimalist side — quiet power with modern flair.

Each frame captured her ability to shift seamlessly from high-fashion elegance to approachable sophistication.
It’s that range — and authenticity — that makes Maranda such a captivating presence in front of the lens.

The Plume Beauty Spirit

The Plume Beauty Launch Series celebrates women who embody individuality, creativity, and confidence.
Through each portrait, we explore what beauty means when it’s personal — when it reflects who you are, where you come from, and where you’re going.

For Maranda, beauty is both story and statement — bold, bright, and deeply rooted.

Her confidence is contagious — and her energy is exactly what Plume Beauty stands for.
