Hello all. Hope you have been well. Back with a new test shot segment. This time with a young transplant to the L.A. area that goes by the name Softest Hard. We had connected through the glorious internet for a photo shoot one day but it turns out we were supposed to have met earlier in time. See, I had done a photo shoot with her friend that also recently moved out here and she was actually supposed to come with her. But that didn’t happen – and as I have stated before, I strongly believe in everything happening for a reason. So we linked up at her home in Silverlake to shoot some flicks. I decided to post this set being that it is her actual bedroom and not a hotel or rented location. I feel like, what shows you more of someone’s personality than where someone lays their head? So scroll below for her interview as well as more of her photos. Hope you all enjoy!

What is your favorite food?

Good answer. Now name a place you want to visit before you die.

Lastly why the name “Softest Hard”?

Softest Hard, an oxymoron, the two perfect words that describe me yet go against each other. To delineate the name it’s simply because I have two sides, I have a very strong, granite-like shell around me and can be mean and aggressive if I wanted to or if needed to, yet I am a kind, polite and delicate girl at the same time.
