We all start somewhere and this is my somewhere. Photography is my first love. I took classes in high school and I absolutely fell in love with it. The different locations, different cameras, editing, just the process of creating a stunning photo amazed me. Who knew one little camera could do so much! I thought being behind the camera was something that I was going to do for the rest of my life.

   Until one day my friend suggested that I should get into modeling. She said that I have the look, the face and body to be a model. I was skeptical at first because growing up in New England, in a small town, nothing big ever happens to anyone. So I thought who would ever see these photos? But, she convinced me to do a shoot with her and she agreed to be the photographer. Soon after, I became more comfortable in front of the camera and I quickly became a natural. We kept doing shoot after shoot saying to one another what else could we do? How far are we willing to go to take a gorgeous photo?

   That is when I got a little more promiscuous with the photos. I love working on my body. Its freeing and it gives me confidence. I'm able to show every part of myself in the best form of expression. The human body is the best work of art. It isn't meant to be all covered up. I don't understand why everyone races to censor and discriminate it. Shouldn't we be proud of our body? We are all born the same way. 

   If it wasn't for my friend who has always been by my side encouraging me, pushing me to do better, wanting to see me succeed in this cutthroat industry we call modeling, who knows where I would be? Probably flipping burgers at McDonald's. I couldn't have made any of this possible if it wasn't for her.
