I am an experienced costumer and I enjoy photography, modeling and acting as a semi-professional interest. I take modeling seriously but I'm in it for the art. I like alternative fashion and costume work and desire to bring my creations into shoots. They give variety to a photographer's portfolio and allow me to showcase my abilities. However if you aren't interested in costumes, I can do fashion and lingerie.
If you would like me for professional work, you may contact me privately or if necessary, through my agent at:
http://www.eclipseagencyusa.com
I am available for TFP shoots with experienced photographers. The trade off is that I get great pictures of my costumes to display and we both get photos that are unique and original. I will do my absolute best to try and portray the look we are going for, whether it is fashion related, costumes or alternative.
If you like the images in my MM portfolio, please check out my website as the entire photoshoot is usually posted there.
However, just because I'm a costumer does not mean I'm limited to one generic "it's just me in a costume" appearance. I am adept at portraying many forms and styles. I am not confined to looking gothy or bikini, or anything in particular. As you can tell by my portfolio, I don't like being "typecast" into a particular vision. I have modeled in fashion shows wearing normal clothes and then turned around and played Darth Maul for an independant film. I like variety of outfits, costumes, make-up and wigs. If you are a MA and want to throw prothestics or a unique look on me, feel free!
I also have no problem moving in front of the camera alone or taking direction. I like collaboration and I have a book of poses if we need more ideas.
Some of my hobbies/interests are horseback riding, karate, costume design and fashion design. Visit my website for more photos.
Important Information for Consideration:
Please do not email me an advertisement for your photography business. I can understand the need to make a living so I respect that, but with the range of costumes I have, I could easily charge someone for my time as well. I choose to do this for mutual benefit and also for fun! I'm too short to be a fashion model so you don't have to worry about me receiving a freebee...and if someone uses my shots to promote their photography career, I'm flattered!
I am also not interested in erotic/glamor nudity unless you are I.E. a playboy photographer and can provide professional references. I will consider artistic nudity only on a case by case basis and after I have examined your portfolio to ensure it really is artistic.
If you would like me to travel more than 45 miles, I would kindly ask that you share gas expenses and provide some kind of refreshments. I'm not a diva but I do like to be fair. Should you travel an extreme distance to my home to shoot, I will do the same. If we meet at a location, then it's kind of a trade off so don't worry.
I also do not design costumes for other people. My profile is that of a model not a fashion designer. My costumes are my personal promotional material. Materials are also expensive and the labor is time consuming. I will happily consider making an outfit for a project you have in mind, but expect to use me as a model in trade for the expense and time of creating it.
Finally, if you are interested in TFP I must
insist that photos are kindly shared with me or that you change your request to paid work. My rates are negotiable.
The good news is that I have 7yrs of consistant experience with Photoshop (including CS2) and I don't require that you spend months editing them prior to sharing. I.E.

I am also incredibly patient and won't nag anyone 3 days after a shoot. I only expect to be treated fairly.
Thank you for your understanding.
UPCOMING TRAVEL
I recently moved back to Alberta Canada and I'm willing to do some TFP up here. I've only got a select set of costumes with me at the moment but I'm working on getting the lot shipped up here.
