**Not currently looking to do TF* shoots unless its a project I want for my port. However, my rates are very reasonable and affordable. Shoot me a message and we can negotiate.
ABOUT ME...
My name is Daley Hodges, I am a model currently living in Austin, TX. I did modeling as a child (from ages 7-15) and decided it was something I would like to get back into. I am interested in working with artsitic, creative, and fun photographers who can help me not only build my portfolio, but also help me to better myself in this industry.
I love doing fun and crazy things to get good shots, even if it includes being uncomfortable and dirty.
I am NOT your average all american girl who enjoys things like drinking, partying, sports, MTV, ect. My idea of a perfect evening includes fighting for my life at a metal show, dancing at the local goth/industrial club, or just hanging out at home listening to music and contemplating life. I am straight edge and proud of it, so you never have to worry about me showing up for a shoot drunk, hungover, high, ect.
I am hard working, easy to get along with, dependable, and professional.
My style is a bit alternative/goth but I can pull off practically any look. If you scan through my port, you can see it's very diverse.
Random Facts
+ I am Scottish/Irish/Cherokee
+I have green eyes, but they change
+I stay out of the sun, so my skin is very light
+I use to sing professionally, now just for fun
Hair Facts:
My hair is naturally blonde and naturally curly. It is died dark underneath and straightened. Currently it is cut to a little longer than shoulder length with lots of layers.
I am up for doing any of the following:
Glamour
Lingerie
Fashion
Dramatic lighting/shadowing
Alternative
Commercial
Print/Editorial
Swimwear
Dark/macabre
Horror (vampires, zombies, ect.)
Animals
Artistic
Implied
Using props
Crazy/dark makeup
Eyes
Black and white
Anything using the elements (water, wind, fire, earth ect.)
Anything daring and different
ect.
Not currently interested in doing nude photos, though I may do some implied nudes if I am comfortable with the photographer and I feel the idea is tasteful.
Travel
I am willing to travel if all expenses are paid. This includes gas money for distances further than San Marcos and surrounding areas.
Be aware that I do have a day job so I need to be able to plan all travel and full day shoots ahead of time.
Tattoos and Piercings
I do have tattoos, but most can be easily covered or photoshopped out if need be. I also have my belly button, ears, and tongue pierced. I have no preference about having my tattoos/piercings in the shots. I have had photographers who keep all of them in the shots and I've had some who photoshop everything out.
Hair and Makeup
I do all my own makeup unless a MUA is provided on set. I can do anything from light natural makeup to dark gothic makeup.
If a hairstylist is not provided on set I use my mom who is a very talented and professional hair stylist. She will also act as my chaperon and has had a lot of experience as a model and is able to assist on set.
My Rule
If you would like to work with me, I ask that you be a good communicator and easy to contact. I am not looking to work with anyone who is going to bail on me or who is not prompt on returning emails and phone calls. If you can provide this bit of respect for me, I will do the same for you.

Phone: 512-461-1151 (Leave a message and I will return it ASAP)
I have custom fang caps that I will wear on request for vampire concept shoots. They are dental made, extremely realistic, and snap in and out easily.

-CPM/Austin IMagemaker
"Daley - she is such a joy to work with! Her enthusiasm is only matched by her professionalism. Every time we work together, I get something new and interesting. She pushes me to step beyond my boundaries, and I walk away inspired with ideas and excited about the next time."
-Steve DeMent
"I have long been a fan of her work, but it wasn't until Daley Hodges arrived at the studio did I fully appreciate her warmth, her ferocity and her seemingly inexhaustible repertoire of poses.
Daley poses with little concern for her own comfort, and remains keyed in on (and is quite receptive to) all suggestions and direction provided her. Ants biting? She holds the pose until I assured her we got the shot. This was my first shoot with Daley, but we are already collaborating on our next images. She's a real find, and has raised my portfolio's quality to the next level. I can only hope I did the same for hers."
