We felt we could dedicate these single years to finding out who we are and not being so distracted by the recreational dating scene. I'm still attracted to guys. But for now I get to know guys as friends. At the end of the day, one of the best pieces of advice I've gotten from married couples is to marry your best friend.

From Day One when we started, you always hear from people who say, 'Don't you think that if you girls were not so verbal and if you didn't share about purity so much that you would be more popular? But this is stuff that we believe in and stand for.

We've really prayed as a family and sought God on this and really felt that God put on our hearts that He is calling on us to live a pure life. He really just challenged us over these past few years based on Romans 12:2 of not conforming to the world but allowing Him to transform us.

I enjoy collaborating with creative people and trying to get the best image possible to convey a feeling or story. Plus, I get flown all over the world to exotic places. How can you lose interest in that? It's a great lifestyle. I can take vacations whenever I want, and no two shoots are ever the same.

Part of knowing how to be prepared comes from being self-aware—being able to anticipate what you’ll need (or screw up) and planning accordingly. I know I am rarely, if ever, the smartest person in the room. And that’s totally OK. What’s not OK is (1) not recognizing that and (2) not coming ready to participate in a meaningful way.

I thought it wouldn’t work, but I didn’t know it wouldn’t work, so I didn’t say anything. That might be the difference between men and women: Women need to know they are right before they stand up. Men are OK objecting if they just think they might be right.
