THE GIRL IS A VAMP, SHE'S WILD AS THE WIND

To start off the new year right, me and my good friend Lina got together to do our long overdue photo-shoot. The weather was ugly last 2 weeks, so we didn't wanna rush. It was sunny this week so... the wait is over! We did not 1, but 2 editorials. Thanks to my little sister and Kacey for helping out! I'm very proud because this is my best work yet...
