**UPDATE** I just found out that I am expecting (Due in June 09) so if you would like to shoot before I start to show... OR if you have any Maternity Type Projects (or you want to work w/stratigically placed props) please let me know!!!****
It had been a few years since I was been in the business, but I have recently started networking with area photographers to update my portfolio.
Previous experience includes but is not limited to: Promotional, Trade Show, SpokesModel, Pageants and Art-type projects. (There were some Music Video projects but those are so outdated that I am not sure if there are records of them around anymore). While I love acting and taking photos, promotional modeling was always a favorite of mine as I love interacting with others.
I have taken several acting classes in the past from various instructors in the Illinois area as well.
I am always a professional and possess an extremely strong work ethic.
I am very open to new adventures in this profession and do not take myself too seriously. (note, I do not take MYSELF too seriously, not to be confused with the profession itself:))
I believe that this is a postive characteristic in modeling and acting as it allows me to be spontaneous or structured depending on the project. I have never allow myself to be pigeon-holed in any "type" and always like a challenge. I have been told that this comes out via the lens and that I am also very easy to work with! You won't find a DIVA here as I know there is always something that I will need to learn.
I will be listing my past experiences, training and projects shortly in addition to different categories of photographs - as the ones here are listed to give a general idea of my look, personality and body shots. I thought it would be best to show these rather than older shots that no longer the best reflection of myself.
PROJECT IDEAS AND WHATNOT:
I am open to a multitude of projects including TFP and independent projects. My latest personal interest in PinUp Art and would love to have the opportunity to try some shots with that Classic Varga Girl Syle. This includes the Rockabilly-type look as well.
I would also love to do some edgy-rock and roll shots too.
I have been on the prowl to do a zombie or horror- type shoot (think Sherry Moon from The Devil's Rejects)
OLD B&W GLAMOUR/MOVIES: I believe it may be referred to as Film Noir? - I LOVE old B&W movies and the headshots and promotional images that went with them.
Couples shoots
Basically - shoot any idea off me and we can bounce it around (within reason though
IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA - STRANGE OR OTHERWISE, SEND IT MY WAY! I have a somewhat twisted sense of humor so more than likely, I will appreciate it. I also have an eclectic taste in music, everything from Jackie Gleason, Genesis and Ted Nugent to Naked Raygun so that might give you an idea of the range of my thoughts and ideas! ha ha
Basically I am bursting with energy and raring to go!
Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like any additional information or have questions not yet answered on my page.
As I travel extensively for my main job, if you would like to work with me on a project, know that distance is RARELY an issue for me
While I try to keep this page updated with my travels, my schedule changes in an instant sometime. Just drop me a note if you may be interested in working with me and chances are, I will be in your neck of the woods in the near future!
I frequent the east coast and cali quite often.
