I'd really like to expand to doing more than just art nudes. Let me know if you are interested in doing some TF on bondage, fetish, gothic, select glamour (concept is a must, but I can help with that), etc. Help me expand! And of course I'll still shoot art nudes, mixed shoots are totally cool with me.
This is my nude port, if you're interested in seeing more glamour and fashion-y type work see
my second profile (#1254615).
Why you might want to shoot with me...
1. I have very long, black hair and pretty blue eyes.
2. I am tiny, but I can photograph much taller (apparently).
3. I can pose and balance (usually).
4. I have a background as a ballet/pointe dancer (past) and martial arts (present).
5. I have a very versatile look (and I'd like to explore more of it).
6. I'm nice and not a "diva."
And if that's not convincing, I welcome you to contact any photographer I've worked with. I have a solid reputation and so far everyone has been quite happy with my work.
What you can expect...
I arrive on time, clean, without clothing marks, no make-up (unless requested), and with my nails, fingers and toes, even and either bare or with neutral polish. I will bring clothing or props if requested. My hair can be braided, put in a ponytail or bun, or left down. It can be changed in a couple minutes. I can pose well on my own or I'd be happy to take your direction. I am natural, with no tattoos or piercings aside from my ears. Please note that while many of the photos in my port show a certain style of "personal" grooming, I have altered it slightly to be shaven below and completely natural above (versus the square patch).
What I'm intersted in shooting...
I will shoot just about anything. The vast majority of what I shoot is art and figure work, as you can see in my port. I would call that my specialty, but I'm also interested in darker work, themed work, and possibly pin-up. And really, who knows what else. If you've got a concept, tell me about it. My limitations are pretty few, the only thing I have set in stone is that I will not shoot open leg if my face is in the photo. For certain artistic and anonymous projects, I will consider it.
Some ideas I have...
- a series involving selective make-up for the birthstones (MUA would be needed)
- art posing with various animals (animals & locations would be needed,I have some especially good ideas with horses)
- gothic with simple gothic make-up (basic eyeliner and black lipstick, or variations)
- historical/period or cultural (see the geisha shot in my port, maybe Egyptian, Greek, etc)
- I also have a collection of vintage gloves, a vintage morning gown (not shot in yet), a vintage wedding gown (also not shot in yet), two vintage negligees, two really nice designer-looking bra/thong sets (one not ever shot in), a collection of knee high/over the knee socks, and some other things.
The other details...
I do work another job so I prefer to shoot on weekends. I can shoot weekday evenings for paid work or if that is the only option, but it will have to be a shorter shoot. I tend to stay in the Knoxville area. Unfortunately, I am unable to travel more than about 30 minutes at this time. Please let me know where we will be shooting as soon as you can.
I am currently interested in booking paid shoots. My rates are very reasonable and quite negotiable I will also consider trade for wardrobe (corsets, swimwear, gothic, period, etc). If you have a budget, make an offer, if you'd like me to quote you some rates, tell me about what you want, and I'd be happy to. I will consider TF shoots with great locations or concepts.
I do bring a driver to my shoots. I do not drive so this is absolutely necessary. If you prefer he not remain with us while shooting, please let me know. If you would like him to help, etc, let me know that too. If you would like, I can provide references for him.

Please only send me friend requests if you are interested in working with me and/or local. I do clean them out every so often and I'm going to start denying requests for people who don't seem at all likely to work with me, particularly if a message or tag isn't sent first.
