About me
******* Myself, my daughter, and my husband have all come down with a nasty flu-like virus, which is causing us to have flu like symptoms and also non-stop vomiting. I am taking a break from puking to let everyone know that I will be away from MM for a few days. It might take some time to respond to the enormous back log of messages. Please be patient with me during this time. Thank you. *******
IF INTERESTED IN BOOKING ME FOR A TF SHOOT: Please read the -Rates- Section of my bio to see what criteria needs to be met before I will consider your offer.
FLORIDA MODELS GOING TO FETISHCON! PLEASE CONTACT ME IF INTERESTED IN SHARING A HOTEL ROOM.
***Even if you don't normally read people's bios, please at least read mine under -My Look-, before sending a booking inquiry, as it contains important information regarding my current look. This info is updated weekly!***
**When messaging me with a booking inquiry, please indicate IN YOUR INITIAL INQUIRY whether you want to book a trade, paid, etc shoot. This is important for my schedule as I allocate a number of days per month for both trade and paid shoots.**
YES there is a lot of info in my bio. I get asked the same questions a lot and all this info is to help assist you in finding the right model for your project. I'm putting it all out there so you can find out what you need to know without having to wait on me to respond to your message.

- Availability -
I will travel anywhere as long as you give me plenty of advance notice. I schedule trips about 3-6 months in advance. Local availability fills up very quickly. I only have 3-6 days of shooting per month and I have only a few days I hold open for meetings. I schedule weeks and sometimes months in advance. I am willing to travel anywhere in the US. I do not have a passport yet but I'm working on it!! If I am not traveling nearby you in the recent future that does not mean I will not entertain offers in which my travel expenses would be paid. (Travel expenses means hotel and plane/train/automobile fare)
***Current available dates are:
January, February, and March are completely booked. I am now scheduling in April and May, which are almost filled as well. *Due to the hot weather aggravating a medical issue that I have I do not shoot outdoors starting May 12th - October 1st so if you want to shoot me on location now is the time unless your project can wait until next fall.*
Here are some tentative travel dates. I am only booking paid jobs when traveling. My rate is not negotiable while traveling. Please do not contact me regarding trade if you are interested in booking me as a traveling model.
March 16-18 I will be in Savannah, GA
March 29-April 1 I will be in Anniston and Birmingham, AL
April 6-8 I will be in Orlando, FL
May 6-9 I will be in Miami, FL
May 17-20 I will be in Tampa, FL (I was going to go in April, but I am re-scheduling because I will be competing in a 5k to raise money for leukemia and lymphoma.)
I am also planning a trip to Chicago in mid August but dates have not been determined. If you are in that area please contact me. We can get ideas flowing now until I get a date secured.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- My Work Ethic / Cancellation Policy -
I believe in being prepared. I spend hours getting ready for each shoot, making sure my hair, makeup, wardrobe, nails, etc are what they need to be. I keep my body and mind in shoot readiness at all times. I have carefully studied nutrition, am on a healthy diet plan and I have a very strict exercise regimen. I purchase expensive wardrobe, makeup, and hair products so I have the right look for each project. I practice posing daily, am active on the MM forums, and do a lot of research on the modeling industry in order to learn what I need to do to be as professional in everything I do as I possibly can.
Therefore it is a big disappointment for me when someone cancels a shoot without giving me time to reschedule or make other plans. It is more than a disappointment when someone does not even bother to cancel, and I am at the location waiting and wondering if someone got hurt in an accident, etc.
I won't do it to you, so please don't do it to me. There will always be emergencies and things of that nature which are beyond our control. In such a situation I will always be understanding and kind if you treat me in the same way.
That being said, those who do not give at least 24 hours notice (Unless somebody literally just died, you can certainly give me 24 hours notice.) before canceling a shoot and want to reschedule will need to pay a non-refundable deposit *before* securing a date in addition to my hourly rate.
Those who no call, no show will not ever work with me in the future. Not for all the money in the world.
**REGARDING ESCORTS ETC**
I suffer from a medical issue which prevents me from driving. (Yes its real and I'm not making it up. Ask me about it if you're curious.) I am dropped off (As in the driver drives away and is not present when we shoot.) and picked up from shoots. (As in the same driver comes back to the location and then we drive away together in the same vehicle.) This does not affect my ability to be on time, professional, or produce great looking images. *I will NEVER bring another person to a shoot with me unless YOU ask me to* That being said, my driver has assisted on set/on location in previous shoots and can hang around if you think an extra person would be useful. Otherwise my driver will not be present while we are working under any circumstances. I can provide references from photographers who have used my driver as an assistant during shoots.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Rates -
When you first message me about booking, please include information regarding compensation. I allocate a certain number of days per month for both trade and paid work. I need to know what sort of shoot I am considering when I'm looking at my calendar and quoting you my available dates.
I charge a flat rate for all genres. I don't charge "stripper rates" as they are called. I have a flexible hourly, half day (4 hours), and full day (8 hours) rate. Minimum assignment time is 2 hours. Other fees such as travel expenses may apply (1 hour driving time or more). I am flexible and willing to negotiate. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have regarding my rates.
When it comes to trade I am very selective since I only consider a small number of trade shoots per month, so when inquiring about trade please have a great concept or idea to offer me. Also please tell me about it in your initial inquiry since I book months in advance and my opening for trade are taken on a first come, first served basis.
In the forums on MM there is a lot of controversy pretty often over how much effort a person should put forth in a TF shoot. I personally believe that a person should ALWAYS do their best, no matter what. I give the same amount of effort and preparation to trade shoots as I do to my paid shoots. If you do not share this belief, please do not contact me for trade. A trade is when both people give equally, and both people benefit from the collaborative efforts made. If you cannot give 100% then you have no right to ask me to do the same.
I am willing to trade in exchange for fantastic wardrobe.
I am willing to trade for a VIP MM account.
I am willing to trade if someone knows how to use 80's/90's era Pentax and/or Canon SLRs and can show me how to use them. I have some lenses and equipment and no clue how to use it and I would love to learn from a mighty film shooting sensei.
I am not adverse to paying photographers for their services, but I am adverse to being contacted by photographers to pay them. If you contact me wanting to be paid with money and not baked goods or hand me down baby clothes, its not going to happen. If I contact you and ask you what your rates are, then I am interested in paying you. With money. Not food or clothes.

- My Look -
I am very comfortable doing my own hair and makeup and providing my own wardrobe for shoots. I have done my own hair and makeup and provided my own props and wardrobe in 90% of my port. I am also more than happy to work with MUAs and stylists.
I have shoulder length brownish red hair and green/hazel eyes. My body is all natural, no cosmetic surgeries. I have very clear skin (no acne on face or body). My hair and body are always clean and camera ready. I have a proportional, hourglass figure.
When I am shooting I will always have clean, neat, and natural nails or sometimes polished in a neutral color like light pink or nude. Please let me know if you want me to paint my nails any other color or have any special requests regarding hair and makeup. I have short nails but if you require a French manicure or long acrylic nails, I do require compensation for the salon fee to have the nails put on and removed. (The average going rate for salon acrylics is about $45 and the average removal fee is about $20. If needed I can quote exact prices.)
Legs and underarms are shaved. My pubic hair is almost always a full bush (nice and neat though). If you have any special requests please let me know before we book a date, so I have time to shave/grow/etc. I'm not emotionally attached to it but it is a b&^ch and a half to shave it all off. ***CURRENTLY GROWING IT LOOOONG FOR A SHOOT. CAN'T SHAVE IT TIL MAY***
As far as physical 'imperfections' go:
I have some freckles but no acne.
I do have a small scar on my left elbow which has never been an issue since it doesn't show in most photos.
I have some faint, not colored stretch marks on my thighs, butt, and lower abdomen (99% of the time hidden by pubic hair or panties). I can provide pictures if needed.
I have a gap between my front two teeth, my bottom teeth are a little crooked.
I have a small tattoo on my right ankle which can be covered with makeup. (Let me know before our shoot!!!)
I have no piercings/mods (only earlobes pierced) and I do not tan.
**During my hiatus which was due to pregnancy and health problems, I gained some weight and my body is not the same as it was in some of my older work. The measurements listed on my port are 100% accurate and are updated as I get slimmer with each passing week. See the unedited pictures in my port for an accurate representation of my current body type. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have regarding my body type in relation to our shoot. I'm not sensitive about it so feel free to ask whatever you want.**

- About Me -
I have just come back to MM after being on hiatus due to some serious health concerns and also becoming a mother, but now I am healthy and ready to get back to doing what I love. What I may not have in physical 'perfection', I more than make up in both professionalism and enthusiasm for every single shoot.
Photographers tell me that I am expressive, fun/funny, easy to work with, relaxed, and that I have a great attitude. I almost always have photographers schedule a second or third shoot with me.
I am open to working with all skill levels. In fact, I often work with people who are new and developing their portfolios. I'm not a snob and I don't mind working with any and all talented individuals, as long as they are willing to work just as hard as I do.
I love working with other models. I have a lot of experience in this area. I am currently networking right now to build up a list of reliable (and drama free) models who can pose with others. Please ask me about shooting with another model if this is something you are interested in.
I'm not a diva or a drama queen, and I don't like working with them. The only baggage I bring with me is a suitcase of makeup and clothes. For me, modeling is more than a job. It's my way of expressing myself artistically and getting away from the everyday rituals and blahdeeblah which is the source of stress in my life. Ideally my shoots are blissful and cathartic no matter the content.
I won't be cliche and write 'I don't do porn' a hundred times in all caps. I do consider soft/light artistic erotic themes/concepts. I do realize that this is a grey area and I will not be offended if you wish me to clarify my meaning in a PM. I respect your right to create whatever you feel is art, so please also respect my personal boundaries however asinine they may seem to you.
I do shoot some fetish themes. If this is your area of interested you may contact me, but I don't shoot fetish work with everyone who waves a dollar bill in my face. Please be respectful of me because I will always be respectful of you.
I do shoot nude. I'm not ashamed of my body or afraid of its functions or beauty.

- What Is It Like To Work With Me? -
If you have any doubts about my amazingness, ask one of the photographers I've listed below for a reference. I've never had a complaint.
I am full of energy and creativity. I like to find things to pose with and around, and make up my own poses and experiment. I like to make conversation and ask questions to keep the atmosphere light. I like to laugh and have fun to keep things on set from getting stagnant. I am not the type of model who asks the photographer for a lesson in posing. I have many ideas and many poses that I have memorized.
I love shooting to music. I usually have music on my iPod and my phone so if you aren't sure what kind of music to play, fear not!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Contacting Me -
Please contact me for bookings through PM only. Sometimes inquiries through comments, tags, and lists get lost in the jumble. I also don't check them daily. I check my inbox every day.
I am always happy to book meetings before we shoot. I love to get with a photographer and team beforehand to discuss our ideas. Its a great way to get comfortable with each other and for you to see what I look like in person.

- My Favorite Projects -
I am always happy to model doing just shy of anything. I believe that there is always more to learn and room to improve, so I don't mind shooting the same sort of concept several times if that is what the photographer is looking for (and paying me for). That being said, I do have some favorites.
I like to do sad/moody/depressed/angry/angelic/innocent/introspective/etc. I do have a lot of sexy in my port, yes, but please believe that's not the only thing I can do.
I really enjoy lifestyle photography with a photo journalistic feel. I can connect with a camera without looking at it, I promise.
I love artful concepts with a touch of the surreal. I am often inspired by those "artsy fartsy" films that people either love or hate.
All about vibrant, avant garde style shoots.
I completely adore dark, noir-ish nudes. Adore them.
All time faves: Brightly lit, moody/sad portraits with muted coloration. If it looks like Sofia Coppola may have been involved, I want to marry it.
If you shoot film, especially exclusively, I want to work with you.

- Works in Progress -
I just made a Facebook page for fans. (Literally just made it.) It has more of my work on there (good and bad, for laughs). Its linked above until my website is ready. Its currently in development and I'll have it up soon!
Currently working on updating my portfolio with all new work to replace images taken before my hiatus.
I always am coming up with new ideas for shoots. If you are interested in trading shoot for shoot, please contact me.
Credits
I have a long resume and I have worked with many photographers, models, MUAs, and stylists over the years. But some of them do not have MM, OMP, etc or have retired from the industry so I am not including them on here. If you want to see my full resume please ask and I will be happy to provide it.
MODELS: I am always happy to give you a reference for any photographer I have listed here. Please do not be afraid to ask me any questions you may have about working with anyone in my credits!
Credit it listed top to bottom as least to most recent.

I've been modeling for nearly 10 years, acting for nearly 15 years, and singing for approx 18 years. I've been in short films, television, plays, and on the radio. I'm an ex Hooter's Girl. My photographs and art inspired by my photographs have been featured in several places such as Time's Square, in books, websites, and even board games. I once was very active in local theater and had many leading roles in several productions. I also was a member of a singing group which sang for many local businesses, events, and charitable functions.
I am a self-portrait artist. Most of my self portrait art has connections with my writing. I have a self-published book of poetry. I mostly write poetry, songs, and short stories. I am currently working on a novel (who isn't?) and a book of... psychological satire. I also am a winner in NaNoWriMo 2010 and am a six time NaNoWriMo competitor.
