This is from the second day of shooting with Cassie and Char, We shot at the Hard Rock Hotel in the Rockstar Suite!! It was a lot of fun but sooooo much work we were their from 10am-9pm it felt like it was the never ending day. But I think in the end it was worth it because I love these pics. Me and Cassie styled the shoot Char did makeup and Hair and I photographed it:) I hope you like it!

A Fresh Start

Welcome to An American Sweetheart!!!

Well I've never actually blogged before but there's no time like the present to start.

Currently I'm living in San Diego with my parents, but I am about to embark on a

new adventure.....moving to LA! I drive up to LA practically every weekend I love it there

there's so much energy in the city and the weather is always perfect. I can't wait to share the thrill of finding and decorating an apartment, somehow getting a job, and exploring a new city with tons of shops and restaurants:)

I'll be keeping you posted!!
