Hiatus: At this point in time I'm having to take a hiatus to focus on certain aspects of my personal life. I recently married and have a baby on the way. The due date is in late January, and since the only thing growing on me is a baby bump, I plan to be back to jump into every opportunity in a short ammount of time. If anyone needs a maternity model in November or December do let me know. Till then I'll still be checking my model mayhem.

I've always had a love for the fashion industry. As every little girl does, I always dreamed of growing up to be apart of the entertainment industry and modelling gorgeous peices of art for fabulous minds. Things are really starting to look up for me and I'm more than exuberant to see more and more doors open.



Although I'm open to any kind of modeling (aside from glamour, nude, or implied nude) editorial and fashion modeling is my favorite kind of work to do. Height is a major struggle when it comes to the ease to be able to get editorial-type photoshoot work, but it's something that I will stop at nothing to do. This kind of modeling is something extremely close to my heart and that I enjoy doing the most. Hopefully my portfolio  can be one to go to show that it's how well you work, not necessarily whether or not you're tall enough.



I'm begining to be more limited to the kind of TF* work I do, however am still beyond open to doing these kind of shoots as long as they benefit everyone working on them. Everyone should bring their top game to a powershoot for a mind blowing result :].



Growing up in a military family, you're given the advantage of seeing all sorts of beautiful things and drawing an open mind to all things you encounter. Not only am I interested in modeling, but also the opposite side of the camera, looking through a lens into the beautiful world around us. Other than modeling I'm also interested in photography, sewing, fashion (I religiously read elle), vegetarianism, and singing.



If your interested in working with me, go ahead and take a look at my schedule to see if it'd work with yours:

Travel
I'm open to travel out of state if expenses are paid for (travel, accommodations).



Shooting with me
Because of certain experiences, badand good, I felt it necessary to say what I expect from a shoot.
- I don't necessarily care to rush into shoots, and like to have some time for mental preparation for a shoot- at least a week if possible.
- I'm beyond alright with things being said to bring out the essence of a shoot, however there is a point where things said can cross the line of unprofessionalism and extreme creepyness. I'd prefer to stay on the other side of that line, where a wonderful, comfortable shoot with great outcomes resides.
-After shooting I expect to have a CD or Email with at least one photo from the shoot that's pixel dimensions are large enough to use in my portfolio, even if the other photos (if there are any) from the shoot are only web size. In my mind, when a TF* shoot is taking place, everyone involved should be able to receive at least one photo from a shoot that they can use in their book otherwise it really isn't a TF* shoot and it'd be hard for them to gain anything from the shoot aside from experiance.
-I understand that everyone's buisy, but if photos take a month to be recieved, they hopefully would look as though the slightest bit of effort was put into them.

Feel free to contact anyone I've worked with as a reference.
