Hi I'm Joy!
*Please Note: Unless you can give me better work than what is shown in my "NEW" album, please do not waste my time with TF*. I reserve TF* for tear sheets (commercial/editorial/fashion), phenomenal fashion photographers, or teams with which I have worked with in the past and created strong images and great energy with.*
My heritage is predominantly German, with Prussian and a little Cherokee. Very pale complected, with dark brown eyes that can look red-orange/yellow with the proper lighting. My hair color is dark, using 5WN demi-permanent hair color. The faded result is brown red fading into golden brown, not very noticeable, however is updated regularly. First week or so hair looks almost black.
I stay in shape by eating well and Pilates. I am petite in stature, and can be lit curvy or skinny. My current measurements are always updated in my side bar.
I want to shoot editorial, edgy, fashion-esque, art images. I love the fashion and modeling industry, and have adapted to better survive my environment. Please check out my other skillz!

Artist/Painter: see myspace above ^^
I have been singing and acting since I was in grade school, and have taken classes such as horse back riding, karate, dance, and voice. I am a licensed cosmetologist. I do hair and make up on photo shoots with other models. I work full time in a salon shaping and coloring hair and performing limited waxing. I study all things fashion and beauty from bobby pins to Haute Couture. I'm very creative, let's set something up.
A Note to Make Up Artists:
Make up never wears me ^_~ I do my best to have clean smooth skin for all shoots. I am almost always more pale than most make up bases, so please keep that in mind. I like to have body make up as well, though I almost always supply my own.
A Note to Photographers/anyone who wants to work with me.
Once I am made up and in front of the camera, I am a completely different creature all together.
I was born to do this. I am physically flexible, I am health conscious, and I am driven. I have been known to surprise people with my tolerance and pliability.
Please feel free to contact ANY of my former photographers for glowing references. I know myself, and know my strength, and I expect professional attitudes from the people I decide to work with. All that aside, I love to have fun! I like to be paid. Message me for rates and availability. I WANT TEAR SHEETS AND WEBSITE TIME!!
I have a great passion for creating beautiful things. I want to work with combined talent to make powerful images. Yes, that likely means you!
I am open to many kinds of shooting. However, if I had my choice I'd rather be in Vogue than Maxim.
NUDE SHOOTING:
Ask, don't be surprised if I turn you down. Select shoots considered.
