11-09: busy with midterms and rehearsals. Updated Availability coming soon.

my current goals:
a) not have the longest bio ever.
b) get away from motionless pose-y pictures and create images that tell a story and have emotion. No more boring pictures!

my current deal-breaker: photographers that crop fingers/toes/feet/elbows out of frame. It just looks careless. I like my fingers and toes.

That being said... Why yes, I do have ideas, thanks for asking. There happens to be a rather giant list of concepts at the bottom of my bio, awaiting the creative vision of photographers. Go check it out Last updated: July 25th

[Currently not accepting trade work.] no tfp
Paid bookings only. No exceptions... except there are always exceptions. Trade for wardrobe usually works out well. or trade for really amazing photographer skills.

rates: ask me about my rates. They are very reasonable, and vary based on assignment. I promise we can negotiate something that works out for both of us.

About the Non-Model Me:
I just turned 21 at the beginning of October!

I am a "rising" third-year student at Georgia Tech, studying PTFE (Polymer, Textile and Fiber Engineering)

I am also an actress and a dancer. and I sing in the shower.

I am aesthetically fortunate but vertically challenged. I stand at a staggering 5'4". Inside my head I am seven inches taller... if you squint, you can see how tall I am pretending to be in some of my pictures. Nonetheless, I am very dedicated and fun to work with. PM me!

I am very hesitant to accept anonymous friend requests, that is, a friend request with no comment, tag, or introduction of any kind.

Sorry, I am not currently scheduling any new TFP projects.

a note:
I am very much not in need of more casual fashion in a park. I would like to create something more than just a pretty picture of a pretty person. The only time I will accept trade work for something like that is if we are "testing" how well we work together before planning out the numerous details of conceptual shoot. Otherwise, I would be more than happy to bring my whole closet to the park for a small hourly rate. And by my whole closet, I mean 1 outfit for every half hour of shooting. So be specific please.

(HINT: There is a GIANT list of half-baked concepts at the bottom of my profile. and a *List* of Inspiring Poses and Concepts.)

No travel plans right now.

Likely places you might find me in the somewhat near future:
*a beach
*Griffin, GA
*Augusta, GA
*North Georgia (Lavonia, near Helen GA and South Carolina)
*Virginia (Chesapeake, Norfolk)
*Cookeville, TN (for the very very right project, and gas money)
*NY, CT
*Marco Island, FL (near Naples) and the 14 hour distance between there and ATL.

My GIANT list of half-baked ideas:

New sports pics are definitely a priority! (cute classic style pin-up or action shots) and tasteful swimwear.

The color yellow is missing from my portfolio now. I miss it.
and more colors in general!

I'm currently looking to do some shoots with other models, male or female, no nudity. Specifically males, in a flirty/romantic but not overly sensual shoot, possibly including the pictorial representation of the moment *right* before a first kiss. or sensing someone's presence from the other side of the door.

Also looking for studio work and creative hair/beauty shots. Typical ones, plain (with natural and/or artistic makeup), or with normal accessories like glitter, candy, flowers, fruit, paint, yarn/wire. Then, after I have experience, I want to throw in some atypical things... like vegetables, or moss, or seasonal snacks, or toilet paper, or cake icing, or child appropriate stickers, or electronic accessories (batteries? headphones?), or money, or foil, or postage stamps, or animal crackers, or bottle caps / pop tabs.

Especially in need of conceptual/themed photoshoots.
**Possibly ones including strong emotions (anger, bereft-ness, joy, etc...), Christmas lights (in a not-necessarily-holiday theme), mannequins, period style clothing, some sort of words (possibly written on me), a kiddie pool*, rain boots, train tracks, more train tracks, a rockwall, newspaper, a mirror, interesting or miniature hats, fruit, a red phone booth, traffic cones, fancy jewelry, negative space, western clothes or cowgirl, a big couch/chair, an old bathtub, a laundry basket, a pool table, graffiti, brightly colored or athletic socks, a polaroid, a ladder, a road, balloons (black ones?), paintballs, fruit loops, punk or goth clothing, steampunk, a picture frame, a kitchen, avant garde pieces, non-black/white studio backdrops, shoes (not necessarily on my feet), sports, a wagon and/or shopping cart, updo's, legwarmers, airplanes, sailboats, a brown paper bag, suspenders, an open grassy field**, classy swimwear, a watergun (with a camo swimuit?), stairs, laying in the grass, being partially inside an appliance (washing machine, oven, fridge), converses (the shoes), pirate- not costume-y, bath tub- sans water? with bath accessories? with something other than water?, a race helmet + simplicity, lots of fake tattoos, a stack of boxes/crates, foil, reflections (in water?), or interesting locations.

recently I am leaning towards playing with the idea of irony or anachronism. like rain boots, umbrella, and fishing pole in a kiddy pool*;; an office chair in an open field**;; a nice dress in a run-down building;; battle armor, of kitchen supplies;; making something seem extreme when it isn't (doing laundry, making cookies, shucking corn etc...) or the opposite, being nonchalant about something extreme. I also would like to do some shoots with misplaced emotions.

AND one, close-up, completely and flawlessly amazing headshot of me in the (faux) fur-trimmed hood of my new white puffy jacket!

a series of beauty shots involving: seeds, water, flowers. possibly dirt. make it work!

a series of 4 shots involving a washer and dryer.

I have a few ideas, but I am open to yours as well.
Let's collaborate!

(check with me for additional availability. dates are subject to change.)

I have this crazy idea in my head to double-book on Sundays during fall semester... so please have a specific time in mind when booking with me, and let me know if the shoot will require special hair/makeup.
