About me
*** (9/09) I am 7 months pregnant and happy to do an intersting artsy shoot if anyone is interested.  Just contact me.***

Hi everyone,  I am sorry to say that I am 'retiring' from modeling.  This may just be a long break, but I am not going to be putting forth the effort to find jobs and will not be accepting normal offers for work.  You may tempt me out of retirement if you have some kind of exciting artsy project.  Just contact me with your idea for a shoot.

For all of you I have worked with, thank you for the great experiences.

My old bio is below:




I am a model who began as a life drawing subject and desires to remain in the strict field of art and only art.  I am looking to help create beauty with a fine artist or photographer. I have very definite boundries about what work I do and only do 'classical' or 'artistic' work. If there is even the hint of sexual connotaion in the artwork I will not take part. 

However, I do both fashion/costumed and nude work.  But I do not do any lingerie or half clothed work.  I am either a girl in a satin dress or a classic scupture.

I have a variety of interesting and elegant clothes to provide for  working with artists. I also have 3 1/2 foot long hair which I can style in a few different ways.  I am not looking for TFP or TFCD, only paid work. Please let me know if you are interested.

It breaks my heart to see you've jumped the modeling ship. You're one of the few women I've ever been absolutely captivated by and felt as though I just HAD to photograph them, no matter what it took. Seems like we have a similar idea aesthetic as well. Christ.

When I come up with a more solid idea of an image, I'll be sure to bother you. And if you get this, an establishment of your rates would be excellent to know. Thank you.

Lara,

I'm still doing lots of shoots! Remember when we found that wonderful spot beside the road in Marin Countiy where we did a couple of shoots? It is still a magical place for me to visit and create further art.

Hope all is well.

Let me know if you ever want to go create additional images sometime.

Hi Lara,
Discussed this before, but thought I should say it where others can read it as well: amazing how your images resemble 19th century paintings by Bouguereau and Waterhouse. So great to see a truly natural model with long hair and an emphasis on fine art. Very classic and timeless.

You have an incredibly beautiful portfolio. If ever I find myself in the Bay area I'll certainly bug you about working together (of course assuming you're interested). I agree with what you say in your bio -- that you are timeless. I would very much like a chance to work with a figure model such as you. I wish you the very best always.
