I am not a moderator anymore.  (Haven't really been active on this site for about 2 years because work & school keep me too busy, unfortunately.)

If you send me a help request, it will probably get deleted without ever being opened.  If you actually want to get help with whatever your problem(s) are, you should be using the Contact-A-Mod form linked on the Info page instead.  Good luck.

Here are some examples of the sorts of shoots that would encourage me to find some free time: http://www.modelmayhem.com/list.php?list_id=63062

Preference is given to shoots that can provide a makeup artist and costuming.  My personal wardrobe is limited to business casual, jeans, t-shirts, and hiking gear.  (Quite a bit different than what's in my portfolio!)  Due to rising transportation costs, preference will be given to locations within a half hour drive from downtown Seattle.  Out-of-state travel isn't entirely out of the question, but I will probably have to have other reasons for going to justify the time and expense.  March, June, early-to-mid August, and mid-November to early December are usually too busy to shoot during.  I do not do nudes, swimwear/lingerie, art modeling, promotional modeling or hostessing.  Offering pay for those does nothing for me - if I wanted to make money on the side, I'd freelance my professional computer programming skills.

Okay, now that I sound like a total pain in the ass, let me try to assure you that I am actually super easy going in person.  I'm a huge nerd, and while I love to be silly, I can buckle down and be serious when the project calls for it.  I can take direction and hold poses, but I can also be fluid and do my own thing once I've gotten comfortable being around new people.  Setting expectations up front goes a LONG way to making everything run as smoothly as possible.

Please feel free to check references; I go to great lengths to maintain a reputation for being reliable and easy to work with.

I've been doing this for a really long time.  Here is a partial list of people I've worked with over the years...
