I am new to modeling, but quick to learn and eager to expand my portfolio. I would love to try something new and creative, so I am willing to do things that are unusual and more concept-oriented. I have also worked with a broken rib, because I am just that stubborn.
I own some interesting wardrobe, about 90% black, and can work with you to try and find something if I don't have it. Though I would not call myself a makeup artist, I am capable of doing my own (fairly simple) makeup for shoots if an artist is not available. Hair styling is a different story, though I am trying to learn some simple techniques. I am not afraid to get dirty, explore abandoned buildings, climb places that maybe I shouldn't, etc.

I prefer to keep things classy. I believe one can do photography that is dirty, edgy, raw, and yes, even sexy, without being sleazy. That said, unless I contact you specifically for the purpose, I will not do nudes.

I DO bring an escort to all of my initial meetings, and I prefer to bring company to shoots. This is simply to ensure my safety - if I don't feel comfortable enough to work without an escort after our initial meeting, I regrettably cannot go through with the shoot. So far this has never happened, and I hope it never does, but I'd rather make the disclaimer now to cover myself in the future. If you are the type of photographer who feels encumbered by escorts, don't worry - though I prefer company at my shoots, I am certainly willing to work without an escort, but ONLY after we've already met once with an escort.
Photographers:
- Sandra Bilokonsky @ Kani Honu Photography, #1265229, x2 - Sandra is absolutely fantastic to work with! I have her to thank for introducing me to modeling.
If you're a beginning model, I definitely recommend working with Sandra - she's great at giving direction and will give you all sorts of tips to help launch your career.
- Wade @ Page One Photography, #1057944, x2 - Wade is *amazing!* Very professional, very creative, and very passionate about what he does. Working with him is a ton of fun, and an experience you don't want to miss. If you have a chance to shoot with him - DO IT!
- Scot @ Scot Cash Photography, #1073642 - Scot is great to work with! Very professional, very creative, and great at giving direction. I am definitely looking forward to working with him again!
- Mike @ MDDunn Photography, #499704 - Lots of great ideas, loves to give really good pointers, and is glad to show you how shots are coming out right then so you can make changes as necessary instead of losing the chance. I had a lot of fun and I'd definitely work with him again!
- Shane @ The Radioactive Man, #430900 - Shane is absolutely full of really interesting alternative ideas. He does a lot of post-production work to amplify the fantasy feel, and I can't wait to see what we come up with together in the future!
- Keith @ Photography by Keith, #882679 - Very professional, plenty of excellent ideas but also eager to hear yours, and just fun to spend time with in general! Because he works with real film, Keith pays special attention to detail and works to ensure quality in all his shots. I am definitely looking forward to our next collaboration!
- Shelley @ 3hirty-One Photographic, #599706 - Seems like a nice enough guy when you're working with him, but he's given me two different stories for why I never received the pictures from a casual shoot we did in July 09. Made plans for two other shoots, then never received confirmation and saw he'd used another model for the same ideas. A friend of mine has had the same experience - not following up on plans and above all else, never giving us our shots! Friendly enough guy, but when I model I expect to see the photos!
