*update* May 2011
After a long and much needed break from things I'm ready to rawk your faces off. lol
Book me


"I neither boast nor, likewise, do I feel the need to overly/unnecessarily humble myself for the sake of seeming any certain way." 

Quote me.

True story, I simply am what I am and I do what makes me happy.. and I like to believe that I, myself, my work and my extensive experience since childhood truly speak for themselves, without my having to explain much, beyond the obvious.   

Now that we're acquainted..

I am an Internationally published Model of a darker nature. I am also an Actress as well as a Journalist, primarily involved within the Metal & Horror industries, with extensive experience in both print for major publications as well as international television work.

I have experience stemming back to infancy.
Literally.

The ironic beginning to all of this goes back to my Baptismal Portrait (I was 4 months old), which was published in Hollywood... my first cover   lol

Moving right along..

As far as modeling is concerned, I have been involved with just about everything from print to runway that's possible with tear sheets readily available upon request.


My look is, by choice, rather dark and obviously of an alternative type.. if one insists on categorizing me (hard in'nit? lol).. However, with a simple hair color /makeup change, you'd be astounded how dramatically I can change my look.... no really, chameleons and Spies have nothing on me. lol

I look the way I do because I want to, not *have to*.
Believe me when I say if I wanted to be "commercial" and/or "normal".. I COULD and could rock that look with the best of them, but do I want to???  NOPE.

Never mistake me for some typical "Gawth" that hides behind an image cos they have no other choice to look interesting... not I.

Seriously though, I can basically take on whatever look/form I choose.
From palest blond to pitchest black, redhead...any color of the spectrum...
I can rock them all and not look ridiculous doing so and from Angel to Devil, Predator or Prey..  I can can convincingly play the part.

I attribute that, in part, to the fact that I'm an Actress.

I execute pretty much whatever is asked of me with little or no direction.
I do take direction well when given, however, and am not at all opposed to it.
I like it actually, feedback is very cool and I love when a photographer is excited to flood my brain with ideas.

I am always interested in expanding my portfolio and enjoy working with as many talented artists as I can.
However, there are many demands on my time and I must prioritize booking requests. TFP is extremely limited/selective at the moment due to such.

I am most intrigued by doing very creative and unique works and photographers with detailed and original photo concepts will get booking priority.

Not to sound like a "diva", but I'd like to specify that I do not work with people who's tastes and styles are "typical".
Meaning, don't arse me with lame, unimaginative or pervy suggestions a la "Sears portrait studio" shit or any other such boooring ventures please.... that is, unless you pay my day rate...which is an ungodly sum.

I just want to focus on unique and original greatness as opposed to just taking pictures.."just because".

QUALITY, not quantity matters to me.



Various styles I am most well known for are: Anything and everything. I'm so over being pigeon holed.

I, personally,  have an affinity for colliding the worlds of beauty and innocence with the macabre and lacing them with sinfully wicked suggestions.

Such is my nature and the very signature of my work.



Please Note: I DO NOT SHOOT EXPLICIT NUDES. Requests for bookings on such projects will not be answered. I will do covered or implied nudes for artistic projects of my choosing and at my discretion, however.

*With that being said, allow me to reiterate in greater detail cos some of you don't seem to understand what I mean...

I have nothing against nudity and although I have yet to find that ideal Tog I gel with cool enough to do such, I will shoot nude/nearly so, under the right circumstances and when/how I see fit. Capeeeeeeesh?



Rates for paid shoots vary with subject, proposed use, and any licensing rights which are to be shared. My rates are very reasonable and you will find me hardworking, punctual, and an active contributor to the creative process.

PLEASE NOTE: TFP/CD or otherwise, for shoots requiring longer than an hour's drive in distance,  transportation costs must be provided by the photographer/client.

While I can work well with makeup artists I am also capable of a wide variety of makeup stylings within my preferred genres. Similarly, I can provide a variety of wardrobe or work with your stylist.

Miscellaneous/Other:
I speak fluent Polish and can understand bits & pieces of all 7 of the Slovenian languages. Some more fluently than others of course, Polish being at the equivalent level of a native.
True story, my Polish is really good. Especially considering I am first generation American. lol

Nationalities: (only because this is the *most* common inquiry ever)
To be perfectly frank, I am a literal rainbow of nationalities and a racist's worst nightmare.
Ahem.. Polish, French, Ukrainian, Russian, Romanian, and German on my Mother's side which also include recessive genes such as Asian & African (long story how I actually know that, but just ask.)
Then, on my Father's side of the gene pool I am .. Even more French (very), French Canadian (see? The French like..never ends. lol) and then get this.. both English and Irish as well.

ha ha ha I *think* that covers all of them and thanks to all the kind words about how "exotic" my features are.
Now you know why



Please feel free to contact me with questions regarding booking me for a photo shoot. I will be pleased to provide photographer references upon request.
