I'm happy to help Crest Whitestrips on their mission to inspire photographers everywhere to capture smile moments and would encourage aspiring photographers to express themselves through their photos.

I got a camera when I was nine years old and it wasn't until I was a model that I realized you could be a photographer for a job.

Whenever you do anything public, you open yourself up to be criticized.

Everyone gets a pencil as a kid, but it doesn't make them all authors or painters or drawers or anything else.

I have two little kids, and they both came out completely different, with their own personalities.

Within the modeling industry, there's no doubt that there are some girls out there that are too thin. But there are also girls who are genetically slim and can eat like a horse.

Write 'judge of beautiful women' on my tombstone. I'd be quite happy.

Someone who is comfortable, someone who is happy, you see them immediately sit up, stand up and feel better about themselves. If you're able to capture that in a picture, that's the most beautiful picture you can ever take of someone.

There's almost an element of selfies that is like photo therapy. People look upon themselves in a picture and then they critique themselves without knowing so, and that's what's happening on mass on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

For guys, growing older is fine. Gray hair and wrinkles aren't considered a bad thing.

The life you're leading is the sexiest part of you.

For a selfie, it's not about the pose, it's about you. There's a reason why you look great in the picture or you look great in real life, because someone has caught the essence of who you are, and a pose is not you.
