Hi everyone!
I know the drill behind stage names etc, if you send me a request on Facebook, tell me it's you or send your MM number!

Scheduling Update!
Available to shoot on Mondays all day, most Thursdays all day and the occasional Sunday. Also for 2-4 hr shoots I can do most nights after 6 if you're local and into that
haha.
**ALSO**
Although I of course never travel as much as I want to, I am always open to travel requests, though regardless of TFP or paid the travel will need to paid. I have a day job and model as a hobby so I am always on a budget. Thank you!
*******************************************************************************
I'm back on the east coast in my hometown of Philadelphia after almost three years in California! As I work two jobs which take up a majority of my time, my modeling career is on the side along with my singing. I have done a variety of different things and will soon be upgrading to include a majority of my favorite photos so I can share with all of you!
Modeling wasn't always my top priority, but I am trying to dive headfirst back into it and am always looking to expand my portfolio. Accepting TFP/CD at the moment in addition to paid gigs as long as a mutual agreement is agreed upon and fulfilled. I prefer a model release for all shoots for the protection of both parties, and if the photographer does not have one outlined I am able to bring one (and a copy for me) to the shoot. I can tailor it to suit the needs of the shoot.
Again, I am currently back in Philadelphia and available for shooting in the tri-state area (PA/NJ/NY/DE/MD) and can do anything basically up and down the east coast if scheduled in advanced. In general, (there are always exceptions) I do not travel more than 1-2 hours without being reimbursed for travel or for a paid shoot.
All in all, excuse the cliche, but I am a really fun person to be around. I spend a great deal of time behind my own camera, and I am comfortable with my body regardless of the fact that I'll never be tall enough or thing enough for a runway. To me it's all about having fun, and while I can take direction well, I have flourished without any instruction at all. I am always open to try new things with makeup, costume, lighting, props, other female models... basically anything that can be classy yet sexy at the same time and draws the eye.
*******************************************************************************
PLEASE NOTE:
When I message photographers, other than to compliment them on their port, I am very specific about my intentions/desire to shoot. I expect the same in return. I am looking for quality images to add to my port, but not here to waste anyone's time. For the most part, everyone I've been in contact with on this site has been an absolute professional, and I'd like to continue that.
I do my best to answer every message I get in a prompt manner, regardless of whether I'm interested or not. If you took the time to write me a message, I will gladly take the time to check out your port, consider your offer, and reply back. If I didn't respond, I may not have gotten the message!! I prefer requests to shoot with me be sent to either my Inbox here or my Gmail, I can try and answer requests put on my wall here or in photo comments, but can't make any promises!
*******************************************************************************
A few things:
I am late for pretty much everything. NO, it's not a lack of respect and NO it's not me being unprofessional, I just always think I have more time than I do and usually last minute ideas creep up on me and make me 20 min late!
I will not be offended if you set up a shoot for me at "Noon" when really you'll be there at "12:30." You've been warned. Trust me, ask anyone I've worked with, late or not, when I show up I am ready to work and WELL worth the wait! I give every shoot 110%!
Obviously, studio time and/or equipment and photo editing after the fact takes up a lot of time and money.... but guess what, I spend a ton of money getting props and wardrobe, nails done, hair done, spray-tanned, and the like.... I spare no expense for any shoot, so when I travel 2 hours out of my way to do a TFP because I saw something unique in your port, try not to be a jerk and just give me a few quality shots I can use instead of hoarding them for yourself and using them to gain other models' interest. I am a HUGE team player, and yeah, photographers have sob stories of models flaking on them (which is shitty, i have yet to flake once!) but models have their own stories of waiting around on images that will NEVER come. I work two jobs and go to school full time, I'm not chasing you down to fulfill the release we both signed, but rest assured you won't be getting good reviews either.
Is it me or are there waaaay too many models on here who put up images either without crediting their photographer (don't wanna share or promote?) or they're putting up un-retouched images most likely against the photog's requests?? These are the girls that give models like me a bad name!! I will always comply with the photographer's wishes and whatever we outline in a model release.... I'm here to stir up new business and NOT interested in creating enemies along the way!
I need a place to put list of ideas for shoots that pop into my head.... which is ever changing.... I think I'll put that here
trains, planes, automobiles (and motorcycles too)
elevators
fences
fountains
sports themed
holiday themes (doesn't everyone need these?)
rain/showers/pools/ocean
bridal/formal attire
50s pin-up
doggies .... i have 2 trained gorgeous pit bulls at my disposal
bubble bath
raw materials (e.g. my cellophane picture, along those lines)
victorian
jewels... every girl loves sparkly things
mirrors
"county fair"
crazy hats - i LOVE them
balloons
wings
tutu and pointe shoes
high contrast shots - formal gowns in dirty construction areas, etc. let your imagination run wild
MUAs!! I am down to try CRAZY makeup concepts, go to town, any ideas, shoot me a message!!!
Moorrrreee of me and the talented photogs who have helped me learn and grow along the way
