Monkey.is.a.Genius is ran by two of the cutest fucktards you would ever meet- Mia (aka Epic Fail Girl - *she's really a cyborg wrapped in a blow up doll shell*) and Adrian (Mind ur own biatchness, mutherf*ckers!!), but Mia's the talented one.. uh.. I mean the one who actually takes ur pictures hehe =^..^=
My name is Mia, I'm all hot shit and laser lights. I was born in the year of the Monkey. I'm clever and distrusting. I behave as though I might have had cocaine for breakfast. My best friend is my camera- We're tighter than a pair of Wranglers on a fat chick. I have been a photographer since 2004 when I got into doll photography for Korean Pullip dolls and asian ball joint dolls (BJDs/ Dollfies), and from there expanded my portfolio doing landscapes and photos of close friends. After realizing a talent for photo editting, I took more to photographing humans. As a photographer I currently find myself inspired by Asian Horror, loud obnoxious metal music, Anime, and Hospital Induced Sickness.
I am also an MUA, stylist, booking agent, model, and all around badass. Just ask anyone on my top 12
You can find my MUA work on a link below or in my friend's list as my no. 1. You can find my modeling work on my myspace or on other photographer's MM's.
This is Adrian. He's a pretty face with a guitar glued to his hands and a mind like a mine-field. We met in Spring 08 as friends, and he later started to model for me. He's the first official (paperwork signed) M.I.A.G model and he's my right-hand man. He handles paperwork, appointments, finances, and everything I get too stressed to function well enough to do. He is the source of monetary goodness from which I benefit as well as my fiance (so girls, dont get your hopes up). He makes the final decision on almost everything. He'll either be your savior or your prettiest nightmare.
He is also a model:

(AND LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, dont even ask me to model for you or meet with you or shoot with you PERIOD unless you are ok with him attending. Doesnt necessarily mean he will, but I'm not really interested in meeting strangers from the intarnets by my little lonesome self!
~~ )
Together we run Monkey.is.a.Genius Photography. We maintain upmost professionalism at all times and expect the same from our models. Doesnt mean we arent still goofy bastards tho
__________THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW__________
*I do photograph nudes upon request or necessity to the concept we are creating upon. I do NOT request them from my models however. In fact, I can almost guarantee I would like you better with your clothes on because nekkid people make me nervous XD True Story.
*I have no one set specialty and my portfolio ranges from family photos, children's photos, gothic and horror/fetish photos, photos of pets, works of art, landscapes, bands and concerts, photo editting (both basic and heavy), and more. I love concept art and there isnt anything I wont shoot really if the idea behind it is good enough!
*For more of my work as a photographer, our modeling, and my work as an MUA please see my myspace at

-We both model tfp or tfcd though money and gifts or lunch is always nice/preferable ^_^
-My MUA work is PAID WORK ONLY.
Mayhem #1225697
- I model, but not for just anyone:# 1324827
- As far as my photography goes, I like to be paid or at least given lunch and cigarettes, or be showered with gifts, or...well, you get the drift. BUT, if the concept is good enough and teh chances of it being a great port booster are strong, I will do TFP.
___________MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ____________
*I have no car. It died. It was a Camaro...what did I really expect? So yeah..Staunton only unless you're willing to travel ^_^
*Dont even ask about my equiptment or set up unless you are prepared for non-stop laughter.
I dont use some crazy $500+ camera. I'm a broke ass college kid. This is something I do for fun and to earn a small bit of cash and prizes on the side.
*I have no interest in being a professional photographer or model. I'm a funeral services major. I want to do embalming on dead people, not tote around an expensive camera and pretend I know what I'm doing. I'm not pretentious or assinine enough to do so.
I check my regular email, myspace, and MM daily, and have unlimited texting - if you have those.
I'm in love with the idea of photographing:
*children at play
*pets with a quirk to them
*guys!
*dead things
*famous people look-a-likes
*fabulous achitecture
*wonderful makeup and hair that is obviously of the extraordinary sort
*anime or video game cosplay
*couples
*weddings
*violent crime scenes
*techno rave club scene goth emo whatever kids
*alt fashion
*shoes! I love photographing shoes.
*multiple models shots
*GUYS! GUYS! GUYS!
*conceptual art
Things I am not currently interested in:
-Erotic
-Fetish
-Nudes

CURRENT SCHEDULE: (likely to change on short notice as I am also a photographer and MUA, and I get called out randomly for these jobs+ modeling.)
Most likely, I am available all weekdays between 8:30- 3:30, meaning I must be back at my home no later than 3:30. This will be null and void on any school holidays or cancellations may be made on short notice if a sick day comes up (I have a small child and shit happens). Saturdays are hit and miss for me, but if you schedule in advance it gives me time to have a babysitter lined up (I only hire responsible people who are dependable). Sundays are at this point always guaranteed to be open unless I am booked with another shoot. This schedule pertains to both my modeling as well as my MUA time and photographer time. Please see my other profiles for more information on those (top 2 of the friends list).
