Thanks for checking out my little space! As with all modeling communities, I joined this one to find addition work and network. I quickly learned there isn’t much paying work here, but the community is AMAZING! So I stay and Yes, I do some TFCD (read below).
Background:
I have been modeling for three years, but have been extremely fortunate. Seriously, I just kind of feel into the whole modeling world, but now it has become a fulltime job for me. I take my work very seriously and try to be professional in all my assignments, even if I am working with amateurs. I have worked with many websites, artists, photographers and video producers. I have worked in many distinctly different areas of the industry from fashion to adult. As a model, I feel that going into work you must always be prepared to play a new role.
I love to try the new and exciting. My ideal shoots are those where we try to create something that isn't the norm. Nothing is more fun, than trying to push the boundaries of the everyday images (white background, model striking poses, BORING!).
TFP/Creative/TFCP:
I only accepting TFP/CD arrangements under certain conditions.
(A) If I contact you because I think your work is fantastic
(B) If you have some amazing ideas.
*In both cases, I prefer a makeup artist since they make the images that much more polished, whenever possible.
If you are just looking to create "some girl in front of backdrop images", you can now hit the lil' x at the top right hand corner of your browser. I will only invest my time to create a finished product we can both be in awe of. I want to create images that tell a story or make you think, not just ‘wow, pretty girl, next!’ Pride comes from digging deep within yourself to create or achieve something you did not formerly believe was possible. A lifetime of achievement comes from continuously breaking down those boundaries, time after time, surpassing your last adventure and surprising yourself all over again.
Restrictions: anything illegal, runway (I’m not trained), fitness (I’m not buff)
Travel: I am located in the GTA (Toronto area), but am open to traveling. I am working on getting a work visa so that I can legally travel back to the States and work, but right now that looks like the process is going to go on forever.
Piercings: most can be removed! labret, medusa, clit x2, nipple, tongue, naval x4
Tattoos: 3 paw prints on pelvis, 2 Chinese symbols above bum, engagement ring, red-eyed tree frog on right calf, feminine symbol on left ankle, 1/2 sleeve on upper left arm

Hi Monika:
It was fantastic to meet and work with you. I like how you are very well prepared and ready to go when you arrive. Being very positive and encouraging are great attributes. I know the portrait of you looking over your shoulder is going to be terrific.

Dear Monika,
I was blown away by your versatility in front of the camera. You made my job easy. It was great to work with you. I must say your wigs and outfits totally transformed you from one shoot to the next. I know that all the photographers that got a chance to work with you on Sunday benefited tremendously.
All the best,

Thanks for the comments on my images. Just so you know the hot tube shot was done in photoshop. So she wasn't in the snow. Like your folio. If your ever in Chicago area we should shoot together.

Hey Monika, Thanks for the tag - love your "park" shot - love it!!! I'm running a special on discovery - if you act now, the first 1 million people who discover me will receive an invitation to my very first showing (travel and admission extra).
BTW - I know how to change diapers, with 5 grandkids it's a skill one has to learn (also how to dodge a stream of...)
