I'm available some weekday evenings after 530pm and on weekends with advanced notice.
About contacting me...
I love when a photographer feels inspired by my look and is interested in shooting with me. If this is you:
-Please read my "What I am interested in" and "What I am not interested in" sections (below).
-Please have an idea (or an idea of an idea) ready when you contact me to shoot. I'm happy to collaborate to firm up a concept, but if you're reaching out to me first...
-Speaking of reaching out to me first, it's possible that I may not be as jazzed as you are about what you're proposing or your style. It might be just not what I'm looking to do at the moment. I mean absolutely no offense by this. Just please don't get grouchy about it if I pass. Just sayin'.
-If you have a biiiig angry list of do's and do not's and what you will and will not put up with, written mostly with the Caps Lock on, I probably don't want to work with you. This is a fun outlet for me and I don't need your negative energy.
What I am interested in:
I LOVE Retro and Vintage pin up!!!! I would love to add 20s and 30s themed images to my portfolio.
Shoots with a definite and identifiable theme
Creativity and action
Irony and humor
Art shots (weird is good!)
Looking like a very different version of myself (or even not myself at all - that's awesome too)
Modeling for MUA's - I will be your canvas!
Paid shoots, but I will do TF, as long as I think it will be fun and creative
What I am not interested in:
- Nudity. Nope, you can't talk me into it. Even if my arms are in front of my breasts, and my face isn't in it, it's still not okay with me. I understand that many photographers have years of experience and would never be unprofessional, but I'm just not up for getting naked in front of a stranger. We can still make amazing images, I promise.
- Fashion modeling in my own clothes (they're not that interesting, I promise, and I'm too broke to buy new things for shoots). However, if it's a really really creative concept, then I'm cool with it.
- Anything that resembles a high school senior portrait or an actor's head shot. No thank you, I'd rather not put on that pretty dress and heels and stand in front of that lake or on those train tracks. I'm not interested in shooting on Belle Island, unless it's in costume or something. I don't want to look like I'm ready to go to a cocktail party, but oops, I got lost and ended up in front of this dilapidated building! Silly me! I mean no offense if this is what you like to do, there is nothing wrong with it, but it's not my bag.
