A few particulars:
I'm the 2008 Best Model Australia Winner and also the Playboy Italia Playmate of the Year 2010.  I work mainly as a professional model and spokesmodel, but also do a little TV Presenting and Hosting too.

Location
I live in La Massana, Andorra, from April to November and in Sydney, Australia from December to March.  I travel constantly for work and have agencies in 3 different countries, however, I manage a lot of my own bookings.


Experience and Style
I have been shooting for upwards of 13 years now.  I started in Fashion, Editorial and Runway when I was very young (as I was always super tall), and as I matured, I branched out into different styles of modelling including Commercial, Beauty, Glamour, and Calendars.  I have also done a lot of promotional modelling and marketing and know what it takes to sell your product.  I am just as easily able to assist in art direction and the creativity of the shoot as I am to take your specific ideas and bring it to life for you.

Attitude and Professionalism
I am happy to shoot at 4 in the morning, or 10 at night if necessary, and I always bring a sunny attitude to any shoot to give 110%.  Feel free to ask any of my fabulous recommended photographers and they will confirm that I am always honest, punctual, professional passionate about my work.  This is what I do for a living, and I rely on my reputation!  That being said, I expect nothing less from my creative team and I find that it produces the most amazing effects.  I have a somewhat insane lifestyle, but will get back to any enquiries within 48 hours. 

If I'm unavailable for a shoot, I can recommend a tonne of reliable models who can also fulfill your request.

Rates
Please contact me with a description of the work you would like to book me for so that I can give you a precise quote.


TFP
There are only two times when I might consider TFP:
*If it's for a magazine feature and I will be paid in the sale of the photos.
*Sometimes I feel the need to update my portfolio or am inspired by someone's ideas for a shoot (please see my conditions below).

If you feel like you have an amazing idea that you think I would be perfect for, it can't hurt to ask!

My TFP Conditions:
  I expect the images to come within a month, and usually aim for at least one or two retouched images per look.  I can't stress how important this is, I don't like to waste my time chasing people.  If you can't do it.  Don't ask for TFP.
  If you aren't confident with retouching, just let me know and I'll have my guys do a subtle and polished job.
  I will sign a model release, but being the super-proactive person that I am - will reserve the right to also sell and promote the images myself.  *Don't worry, I will always let you know when I am going to do this, and will make sure you are credited.*
 

********No nudes for a while folks.  I am bound to my contract with Playboy Italia.********
