Unedited Sneak Peaks From My NOH8 Photoshoot

It was only a matter of time that I would do my own NOH8 Campaign Photoshoot.  I just didn't know when.  Well, I couldn't just sit there and avoid the unavoidable.  Around this time last month, I asked my good friend who happens to be an amazing photographer, Kevin Chan, if he would be interested in shooting this campaign for me, without hesitation, he was happy to shoot!  I figured since, I had such an awesome photographer shooting, I wanted to enjoy this moment with good supporting friends.  Jasmine Cardenas and Sarin Sieng was happy to shoot with me. 

Through the course of getting ready for such a big shoot, the Baby Gods, stepped in and my Bestie, Jasmine Cardenas, fell into labor with little baby, and delivered Tyler James Fricker, the same day of our shoot!  Yay! Now a new Mom, Jasmine Cardenas, was not able to be with us today, as she was needed home bonding with a beautiful baby boy!  So help me congrat new parents, Jasmine Cardenas and Kiel Fricker!  Let me know if you need a babysitter!

With one friend out, Sarin and I had to make due.  Frankly, I really felt bad for Kevin; Sarin and I didn't really make it easy for him shooting us.

1. We're no models
2. I threw a diva moment over the infamous Sacramento heat
3. There was a lot of joking around between Sarin and I
4. I could not stop sweating
5. Did I mention what a diva I was? LOL

So, after all the sweat and joking around, we finished the shoot satisfied with the results!  I promise, I won't take my shirt off again, LOL.
