I Didn't Come Here to Make Friends (35 page)

I did local editorial modeling to gain experience. This is a shoot from
Arizona Foothills
magazine, 2004. (

My first test shoot in Los Angeles, 2003. My career started backward—with a big first job at A&F, but no portfolio of work. I needed to build up a book and learn to model professionally.

I took this test shot after signing with Ford Models and getting back in modeling shape. (

A behind-the-scenes look at a campaign I did for Izod in 2008. We shot on location on a glacier in Alaska.

My big cover shoot for the April 2011 issue of
Fitness
magazine. We shot on location in Puerto Rico. Who knew I’d be back there six months later with the
Bachelor
crew? (Fitness

The calm before the storm. My family and me at the Farm at South Mountain, right before my season of
The Bachelor
began airing.
