You can skip this long paragraph following this notice =p

Photographer, Actress, and model Serena Star was born on September 13, 1988 in a little town she has come to call Wonderland. Spending most of her youth shut up behind closed doors, she managed to evade the closed minds of the social order and learned to deal with every obstacle that she faced. Being blessed with open-minded parents, she was encouraged to find her own path in life and disregard other negative influences which tried to mold her into society's cookie-cutter image. Enlightened to the prejudice and discrimination that was illustrated everyday, she grew aware of the intolerance she would face and prepared herself emotionally for the persecution she would later ensue. "Wonderland" became to her as Wonderland was to Alice, a nice place to visit - but not to stay. It was a place which enabled her creative and artistic mind to blossom without profuse excruciation but she couldn't prosper either. Alleviated by the tolerance of the underground culture, she opened herself up to many styles from there to the mainstream. At the age of 14/15 she took her first serious interest in photography. She studied everything through the lense of her camera and became passionate about the beauty it brought out in a world she had grown to think was so dull and forlorn. Even Alice at one point had stated, "What is the use of a book... without pictures or Conversations?" The exquisiteness of how the world seemed to change within a photo captivated her and she loved it. Now at the ripe age of a youthful adult, she has grown to have a very sweet and sensual yet hot-tempered personality. She enjoys working with others and seizes any opportunity to take her place in the spotlight. Noted for her child-like cheerfulness and Professional attitude, she is very mature when it comes down to her work. In the years to come she hopes to meet more open-minded and creative souls who can overcome the age barrier that currently keeps her from flourishing in her fields of interest. She awaits the day she will be able to express herself without torment and tribulations, and hopes to one day become a known figure in the industry. Serena is one fiery redhead, ready to take on the challenges that are dealt to her as she pursues unveiling her unique individuality.

Serena Star is not the ideal photographer for everyone! She’s known for her bold, brightly colored, and edgy imagery. Having been on the other side of the camera, modeling everything from fashion to glamour, she turns her expertise on lighting and posing to creating art for others. Her style is known as "Pretty" and likes to keep everything clean!

You must bring two forms of Legal US ID to our shoot. One must have a photo of you on it..No a School ID won't cut it, sorry! If you show up without this, I won't shoot you! You will need to sign a Model release form (mine) and a 2257 form.
I am really sorry about this, but thank our gov't for it sad
http://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?threa … amp;page=1
^Read there -- I know it is speaking of nude work in the title, but it can be any photography depending how the judges rule.


Please use chapstick several days before the shoot. Make sure your nails are done (doesn't need to be professional just no chipped nail polish please) Buy thick lashes.. You can get them from any drug store. Please don't forget this as I am running out. Please use a lotion before the shoot on your arms and legs (so we dont have the reptile looking skin) and get good rest the night  before. Please Pack several outfits so we can do changes. .. even though I do have my own clothing, I like to integrate other wardrobes in! Bring a robe for in between. Pack a nude colored thong so that you can wear it under my vintage lingerie (I like to keep everything sanitary. I do wash everything after it is worn.. but still.)  Bring an Ipod if you have one! If you have your own mascara/foundation and I am doing  your makeup, its a lot faster to bring your own! Get a lot of rest the night before! My studio is a Drug and Alcohol free facility. Please be respectful and do not come to my studio intoxicated.

Please note I will not directly copy an image I have already done, nor an image that someone else has done. Lets be creative and do something different that will stand out! Also, If you are borrowing wardrobe from my closet, please understand I will not guarantee the outfit will not be used again for someone else. The best way to create something custom is to buy a piece. I do work closely with several designers who are able to make one of a kind outfits smile

I do allow escorts the first time we shoot (I understand some girls want them even though I am a female and so are my favorite MUA x_X) I ask that you DO NOT bring your boyfriend or "guy friends". They tend to be distracting smile I do not allow any children that are not being photographed without prior arrangements. If you have a child, please find them a babysitter. My studio is not child proof.

I ask that you please leave your cell phones in your car, purse, etc. We don't get signal here (I'm in a "dead zone" =p).... I ask that you don't bring any cameras. If you want candids, I can take them at designated times. No video without my permission. If your escort starts taking photos over my shoulder, I will politely ask them to leave.
