I really put a lot of pressure on myself and the models to make sure that we succeed. But I try not to let that overwhelm me to the point where I can't even do a good job. I just put it aside and do the best that I know that I can."

Taking the pictures and getting accolades on Facebook was fun and easy. Getting it out there, now, has been a new experience altogether." "You have to enjoy your role in helping out," says Ramirez. "You should wake up every day and love what you do. I honestly do. From the bottom of my heart to the depths of my soul, I am truly happy with the work we have put in. Everything is worth it.
