I realized New York City was a special place during my cab ride home from the airport. The city lights went on for what seemed like miles, and the anticipation of being alone in such a big place excited me. Almost exactly twelve hours from that cab ride, I was walking down a bustling New York street to begin my photo shoot with Fadil Berisha, a photographer I met while competing for the title of Miss USA last year. Fadil, an entertaining and amazing artist, soon welcomed me into his New York studio which, on that Saturday, was about 50 degrees! Regardless of the temperature, the next five hours were full of laughter, jokes, and, of course, lots of pictures. The rest of my days in New York were fantastic, but that photo shoot was the highlight of my experience. The next adventure on my calendar leads me to Chicago to meet with agents about a modeling contract. I’ll keep you posted!
