PICTURE COMMENTS, TAGS & FRIEND REQUETS:
Now that I have been here for a little while, I can tell that sometimes this becomes a little bit of a popularity contest. That is why I am writing this as part of my profile. If I left you a picture comment or tag, it is because I wanted to and do not expect you to leave me one in return. If you check out my profile and like something of mine and choose to comment on it – THANK YOU!!! – I will be very flattered, but please don’t do it because I tagged or PC’d you first! Do it because you feel it! About Friend Requests… OK, I had been accepting every friend request that came along and had started to create a collection of friends who I will never work with, exchange ideas with, communicate with or otherwise interact with. I cleaned them out to only include people who I have worked with, want to work with, have a PROFESSIONAL REASON to have as a friend, communicate with regularly or just plain have something fundamental in common with. Please do not take this personal. Before sending me a friend request, please consider what I have written and do not be offended if I do not accept. Thanks for understanding and enjoy the Mayhem!
WHY I AM HERE:
I am here to develop as a model, network with exceptional photographers and make some money along the way. I AM NOT HERE TO DATE OR MAKE FRIENDS! This is not MySpace or Facebook. I AM MARRIED. I LOVE MY HUSBAND. HE MAKES ME HAPPY. I DO NOT NEED TO MEET A NEW GUY!!!! Please don’t send me messages offering to take me to dinner, fly me somewhere exotic or dress me in designer jewelry!!! Please, please, please, this is a business, treat it as such.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! My portfolio is a constant work-in-progress. I should probably start by letting you know that I started modeling when I was 10 years old and continued doing so as I was growing up for about 13 years. I worked for Irene Marie, Michelle Pommier and Runways - all out of Miami/Miami Beach. As soon as I finished grad school at 23, I started working as a CPA and a CFP and left the modeling entirely. I guess you can say that even though I am a very good accountant and financial planner and enjoy my challenging clients, I don't really fit into that world very well. I got burned out and I didn't really like my fellow accountants, so I pretty much left the business after many years of working 65-hour weeks! UGH!
Now I am back in the modeling industry for my second try at it and would like to find work that is appropriate for my generation - God, I make myself sound so old, right??!! My interest is in lifestyle/fashion... swimsuit... fitness HIGHLY appeals to me because I am undoubtedly a gym rat and truly appreciate fitness and human anatomy and physiology. I was also a professional athlete for many years - I ride horses competitively; specifically hunters and jumpers (any horse people out there???!!!). I included a photo of me with one of my "boys" to break the monotony of just photo shoot type pictures...
I would like to stress that any work that I accept would have to be very tasteful and clean - no nudity - maybe implied if it is done right - but even then I am pretty sure I would not do it. I am not narrow-minded and can appreciate the beauty of nudes and implied nudes done right, but at this point, it’s just not my thing. I am still kind of old-fashioned in some ways and don't want my parents freaking out on me for shooting nudes! So, please don't ask because I will assume that either you did not bother to read my profile or just don't care about what I had to say!
Last, but definitely not least, I will repeat that I am happily married to an amazing man who I adore, so please keep this professional! Guys, please, read this sentence at least 3 times!!!
HOW I WORK:
1 - I have a very versatile look, so I can easily work in different "look" settings...
2 - I am interested in TFP/DVD/CD, but am pretty selective about the photographer I will work with on this... it has to benefit BOTH of our portfolios!!
3 - I am looking for work in print, runway and possibly special projects; sorry, no events.
4 - I will only travel for a booking if my husband is allowed to accompany. No husband = no travel. Also, travel expenses need to be covered AHEAD of time. I don’t have the money to travel the world right now, God knows I wish I did…
5 - I will only work for compensation, unless you fall under item number 2 above.
Anyway, thanks again for checking out my photos! :-)
