We were exhausted after doing charity work all day and we decided to go on this helicopter ride afterwards.
It was one of the most insane experiences Ive ever had.
I could feel the heat from the molten lava as I was flying over it.
The lava would hit the ocean and steam up and it was amazing.
To me this was one of the most epic things Ive ever done.
Unbeknownst to me, the volcano had recently erupted.
Someone from Hawaii immediately called me out and others started commenting the worst things.
But I love Hawaii!
I never would have intentionally posted something insensitive.
I was so nervous and I was the one with the least amount of followers on this trip.
I was starstruck byBrandon Woelfel.
Hes this tall, thin, super artsy sweet guy.
And this was the first time Id met someone I really looked up to.
I wanted him to shoot me so badly but I didnt want to ask him.
I didnt have any makeup on and I didnt feel camera ready but I decided to make it work.
He basically just told me exactly how to pose and what to do.
And this photo ended up being the first photo in thebookthat he published!
The levitating guy in the background isRory Kramer, the videographer for the Chainsmokers.
But the interesting thing about this photo is the journey I took to get there.
When you go somewhere, you never know whats going to happen.
Before hopping on the 12-hour flight to South Africa, I had to take a 12-hour flight to London.
I am massively allergic to all nuts, and my EpiPen was beneath the plane in my checked baggage.
I didnt know what to do!
Luckily, I had some Benadryl in my purse.
I honestly thought I was going to die right there on that plane, but I didnt.
When it comes to taking pictures, girls can be very competitive.
I was just kind of sitting there while they were doing group pictures.
Looking back, this photo reminds me of the competitive nature of Instagram.
Their behavior really shook me, and made me feel insecure.
I remember lying there wondering if my body looked good.
I think exclusion is a form of bullying.
I was in Hawaii shooting for a well-known brand that flew me out there with another model.
I got angry and then I decided to turn this into a good situation.
I told the other model we were going to stay in Hawaii anyway.
This photo was taken ten minutes after he told us he was sending us home.
I had been crying, but my eyes look really clear because Id just been crying.
Id flown out there for theH Collectivemagazine we were shooting.
I was nervous because Id never done a topless picturethis was the first time Id done anything like this.
I was 18 years old, staying by myself in the city.
This is what got me into the nature scene.
It was taken in Eden, Utah, in this little secluded place that takes hours to get to.
I went there to meet my friendZach Allia.
So this guy pulls up with like five kinds of birds (owls and falcons) in his truck.
He was a professional bird handler.
The handler is standing right behind us.
When he tilted his hand the owl extended its wings.
This photo ended up being on the front page of Reddit for two weeks in a row!
It was really magical.
It doesnt even look real.
Earlier that day Id met someone Id looked up to for a really really long time,Jay Alvarrez.
Hes one of the first people who started traveling for Instagram and he kind of pioneered the influencer market.
Hes a very exotic, eccentric person.
To me, this photo represents the fact that you should never make assumptions over social media.
Another day, another rainbow
This is the Na Pali coast and its really really hard to get to.
Whats a relationship if you dont see someone for a three-month stretch?
I just havent been able to keep up with people.
But just because I dont date someone doesnt mean that I dont fall in love.
There are several people Ive had to consciously step away from in favor of pursuing my career.
This picture is symbolic of love, happiness, and heartbreak.
Damn, this is my life
This was taken recently, at EDC in Las Vegas.
This year Insomniac brought me and a photographer out to shoot, which was mind-blowing.
To actually work an event Id grown up loving was amazing.
We were let in two hours early so we could shoot the sunset before anyone else got there.
it’s possible for you to see Im kind of blissfully enjoying this.
It was a moment.
In this picture I realized,damn, this is my life.
