I'm currently working at La Mer Collections (a watch co) in Venice & I'm in the process of starting my own jewelry company entitled, Abigail Pari, which will be available to buy on Etsy. Soon I will be looking to do some TF* shoots with LA area photographers so I can get quality images of my jewelry. Plus I've got to make sure I've still got that model groove down ya know ; )

UPDATE:
I relocated to LA & I am no longer available for shoots in the DC area unless otherwise posted. LA photographers lets get out on location & get some fresh West Coast shots in the mountains & on the beach. This doesn't necessarily mean me as a model though, I'm looking to style & create ideas for shoots! If you want to take your fashion & artsy shoots to the next level & want to collaborate message me!
                   
ATTENTION ATTENTION: Please read this before you contact me or view my port. I was never aiming to be a model & I started (more or less) so I could have images to get work as a $promo model$ & to gain experience for my career as a creative director, fashion show director & fashion designer. I have already gained quite enough from modeling so I will turn down ALL TF* modeling unless the opportunity will A.Guarantee me an image I can use for work as a promo model or I flat out really really dig your work (see my top friends & lists for work I admire) B.Guarantee me an image I can use for my fashion design portfolio (styling, concept etc.). I want to be a fashion designer & creative director, NOT a model so I must use all my time to work towards this goal so I hope you all will respect this decision & continue to work with me on this level. However I still love doing hair modeling & hair shows so feel free to contact me with those opportunities. I just have to be a lot pickier about who I work with now so don't be offended if I turn you down or ask to do TF*. I did my fair share of TF* ok! Good luck to all the talented & motivated inventors, creators & hard workers out there.

Things to know about me as a model:
***My hair is currently brown (almost natural color) & chin length & I'm growing it out.
***I like direction. I don't want to just look pretty & strike a pose in front of your camera. I want to know what kind of look, mood or theme we're going for whether the idea is mine or yours.
***I'm a mix of 25% Persian, 25% Armenian & the rest is a mix of English, Scottish, French, German, Dutch, Welsh & Irish. Thats only 2 generations or so back so nobody looks like me!
***I now require that we must shoot to music. Music can inspire specific attitudes, characters & moods in me & I want to create the best atmosphere possible in order to get the shot we're looking for.
***I am always willing to change my hair for a shoot & I make a great hair model (something I've done since 2000).
***If I haven't worked with you or if I'm doing nudes I will almost always bring an escort. I'll let you know if I bring one & he (my boyfriend most likely) will not get in the way, be protective, get jealous or partake in any annoying boyfriend behavior. If anything he's more than willing to assist us!
***I'm obsessed w. anti-aging I've even rid of my natural neck wrinkles muahahahha.
