About Me

I have been a photographer since 2004. That's when I graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a BFA in Fine Art. I then traveled to Rochester, New York and pursued my Master's degree in Fine Art Photography which I received in 2008. I am very passionate about photography, art and fashion photography. I opened up my own studio in September of 2009 and have been pursuing a life in fashion photography ever since. I teach Applied Photography at San Antonio College.

* Please note: I am not interested in erotic photography. If I look at your port and I see blood, gore, erotic nudity or the like, I will not be interested in shooting TF. If you like my work and want my style of imagery in your port, then consider hiring me.


I am interested in working with Agencies and high fashion models. I have a 700 square foot studio with a wall of windows for natural light, where we can create just about any scenario. I have a lot of creative ideas but they tend to fall in the realm of more minimalistic or natural. In my portfolio you'll find minimal props and backgrounds with the focus on the model and clothing itself. I like a lot of drama, created by lighting and the expressions of the models. I aspire to create work in the vein of Peter Lindbergh and Paolo Roversi. But of course, I also have a lot of different inspirations which vary from one project to the other

My favorite magazines for inspiration include: Numero, V, ZINK, French, Harpers Bazar, Dazed and Confused, Another Magazine, Bullet

Hey, did you get my message?
I’m a full time international model with 10+ years experience coming to your area October 2nd - 5th or 6th before heading to Dallas. I’d love to know if you would like to work with me while I am here or if you know anyone who might. This may be the only chance to shoot me in your area. Do you have recommendations on how else to get more work or who to reach out to?
I have more details in my profile but here is a bit ABOUT me; As a full time model, I am highly committed, passionate, reliable, open to working with artists of any level of experience & am very experienced in a wide variety of expressive poses. I’ve worked throughout AUS, NZ, UK, EU, Hawaii, India, Singapore, Malaysia & Philippines with plans to travel through other parts of the world. My many years of experience in the industry with a range of creatives from around the world have earned me features in multiple magazines, art galleries & exhibitions in a variety of countries. I’m open to modelling with other male or female models (locals or traveling) in the studio as well as on location in various conditions & throughout a broad range of styles from portraits, fashion, pinup, editorial, beauty, lifestyle, swimwear, lingerie, sheer, topless, boudoir, implied, through to art nude. I can do glamour as well as suggestive & slight fetish/erotica but I don’t do open leg or porn. My extra talents; I’m a musician, I know how to free dive which is good for underwater shots, can horse ride, go on long hikes & also can crack a stock whip, I practice yoga, & have done basic pole & aerial hoop/silks.
INSTA; @layal.official (non nudes) @aim.model (nude) @aim.backup.model1 (back up nude)
My RATES; for up to art nude $150 per hour for 2hrs or more or $550 for 4hrs or $1000 a day. This covers costs including my meals/drinks, public transportation, outfits I can bring, my own make up & other things to help me be the best I can for you. Surcharges; for 1hr only, light fetish & extra shooters. I do understand people have budgets so I can offer pay off methods where you pay the rate over an agreed time. If Instagram or WhatsApp or even email is better than discussing here, please send me your contact details.
Thank you in advance for respecting me. Hope to hear from you soon, keen to see what we can do together, all the best & kindest regards.
