"Beneath the make up and behind the smile, I'm just the girl who wishes for the world..."-Marilyn Monroe
I'm 23 and based out of Cleveland, Ohio. In day to day life, I'm very jeans-and-tshirt-all-American-girl-next-door... but I can glam it up as well as anyone else. ACTING. MODELING. MUSIC. PROMOTIONS. this is my livelihood.
******Long story short (in case you don't want to read all the babble below), i accidentally found myself at a photo shoot, had a blast, and fell in love with modeling. I started my sophomore year of college, but had to give it up my junior year and on to focus on finishing school. I've been out for a year now, and am itching to get back in the game. Acting is more forgiving than modeling when it comes to body type, but i'm missing modeling now!! So, need an actor or model? Then you've found a fantastic person to work with!!
I'm really easy to work with, and while I'm quirky and goofy, a perfectionist and have a one-track mind when it comes down to shooting. I'm super fun either way, so take a shot [no pun intended ha] and let's see what we can create!!******
I change my hair a lot, and most MUA find it rather easy to change my style/look to be whatever they imagine in their dreams. I'm the quirky chameleon (Kameleon ha) that will let you glue, paint, draw, and otherwise go nuts on me and my body. I love crazy stuff, but would love to expand to do some pretty, simple, lovely photos as well.
I have been acting since grade school in theater, film, and commercial. I took up modeling seriously in the last 2 years, after being approached by a photographer after an acting gig about 4 years ago. After my first serious shoot, i fell completely in love with the whole concept, production, and experience of shoots.
Modeling, like acting, offers a gateway to dress up and act in whatever form is being pursued; I can be anyone I want to be when in front of the camera. The creativity, stress, and chance to push myself to new heights is a great drive for me.
My favorite reactions from friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers is when people say "Oh my gosh! That's YOU!? No way! You look so different/pretty/crazy/etc." It's times like that when I know I have collaborated well with make up artists, stylists, and photographers to create something that shocks and amazes people-- i live for that reaction; to do things that are different and out of my "normal" realm of looks.
I have some experience, and hoping to accumulate loads more. Please use this website for what is intended for when friend-ing and contacting me- networking, support, connections, and new experiences are what I am looking for. I'm here to concentrate and further my modeling /promotional career. I love to shoot- it is my passion and one of my billion jobs. I take my modeling seriously and I always want to surpass myself. I am extremely open-minded and easy to work with; i love crazy, vintage, artsy, pin-up, and other non-standard modeling themes.
Thank you for any time you spend here looking through my photos, reading about me, and commenting... I truly appreciate it and will make every effort to write back! Also, 2 other places to check me, my credentials, and photographers I have worked with:

ONE MODEL PLACE (public page):

and remember, it's all about the experience... Go make a LIFE, not a living..
Cheers,

**NOTE** I HAVE SOME IMAGES ON HERE THAT ARE UNEDITED. Due to a photographer being irresponsible and hard to work with, these photos will not be edited anytime soon. it's been almost 2 years and he has REFUSED TO GET BACK TO ANYONE RELATED TO THE SHOOT regarding editing. He does amazing work, but when it comes to communication, obligation, and follow through-- he fails miserably. If you are a photographer like this, DO NOT CONTACT ME. There is nothing worse than spending good money, time, and effort only to have them act like an asshole and not follow through with finalizing photos. IF YOU DO NOT RESPECT ME or my time, DON'T BOTHER contacting me. It will piss me off, and I will be all over you in ways that nobody wants me to. For your own happiness and well being, follow through what you start with me or you'll meet a fury of hell you've only ever had nightmares of.
