Blake’s comments about her shoot:

Now that I have had a glimpse of the modeling world, my respect for all models has skyrocketed! Who knew this would be so challenging, yet so rewarding? I am excited for what is ahead and cannot wait to see where I am a year from now. The best part is being able to come home and see my little Terrier, Chloe, and taking her on a walk after a full day of work. I love feeling confident in my own skin, flaws and all, and this introduction to modeling has changed my perspective of this industry as well as my outlook on life. Hard work pays off in the end, and patience is an important aspect to building a career in any scenario. My favorite quote I have been recently inspired by is from philosopher Aristotle and he quotes, “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”
