Hello everyone!

I'm about halfway into my Bali trip, it has been amazing so far! Definitely getting some beautiful photographs-the one above is of Kristy Jessica, which I took my first morning here. 

I'm trying to think of where to start. I landed in the Philippines on my way here to a pile of texts from the other girls on the trip (they were on a separate flight), and Lillias got turned around at the border! She had a passport issue and they wouldn't let her enter the country. That is truly every traveler's worst nightmare. To fly 2 days, only to be told you have to go home! So 5 became 4. Me, Kristy Jessica, Almida Mae, and Carolyn Jean. We were really bummed to lose Lillias, but we're having a good time and we're sending her all the good vibes with the stupidly long trek back and just getting over the bummer of a situation. 

The food, for the most part, has been really good (except snake fruit, that crap was gross). Massages are SO cheap, I've had 2 so far, and am planning for more lol. About $7 an hour.  We've visited hot springs, volcano rocks (we could see the volcano too, but didn't hike it), did some shopping, went to a waterfall, today we'll be hitting the beaches... it's been really fabulous. We've of course been shooting too-our villa is amazing (the place we're in now is the 2nd place we're staying actually, both are amazing). I am hoping to get between 6-8 sets of each of the models. I shot a few selfie sets so far as well (for those $75+), but I am planning to do at least a few more while I'm here. I can't wait to share all of the behind the scenes snapchats and snapshots with you all on Feb 2nd. We've been doing so much! The two big negatives for me is the number of mosquito bites I'm getting (they have a lot of mosquito-spread viruses such as Zika so I'm pretty paranoid), and the amount of dogs and cats wandering the streets and walking into traffic is literally giving me nightmares about animals being hit by cars. I swear I'm going to end up spending thousands of dollars to bring a dog back to the states.

So I'm trying to think of things I haven't released for the month, please let me know if I forgot anything-I think I've released everything but it is easy for me to miss something because I have way too many tiers, lol. I sent out all the signed prints the morning I left town, so if you signed up after the 22nd, I'll be sending those prints out a bit late, hold tight. All selfie sets went out that night as well.  What else?! Let me know know!!
