Jamie Mae Vaun

Hello and thanks for showing an interest in my MM portfolio!

-MODELING INFORMATION-
I feel that my portfolio needs more depth, variety, and edge, therefore I am looking to expand my portfolio with various types of  ALTERNATIVE STYLES, pinup, retro, gothic, fashion, glamour, artistic, headshots, and makeup shots with local photographers or photographers traveling to my area.

My biggest goal right now is to add ARTISTIC flair and creativity to my portfolio. I have a lot of images in my portfolio that are beautiful, but that do not necessarily represent me and all that I want to portray. I want to do many different themes, concepts, and styles! The crazier, more artistic the theme, the better! So don't be afraid to approach me with different themes and styles that are not currently represented in my portfolio!



-RATES-
I love to meet & work with new, creative industry professionals and am open to any test, TF*, or paid photo opportunities. For any figure work, implied nude, or sheer lingerie my rate is $75/Hour. I am very selective for these types of shoots. I do not do erotic or fetish modeling. All reasonable offers will be carefully considered. Please contact me with your creative ideas or offers, and I will respond to you in a timely fashion if I am interested.

-AVAILABILITY-
I have a busy schedule, what with working and going to school, and coordinating a local non-profit organization. Please feel free to contact me for my general availability, or to see about a specific date.
Currently Booked:
February 27th - American Gothique Sick-N-Twisted Fashion Show



-PHOTO SHOOT WISH LIST-
I always have tons of ideas for outfits & themes for photo shoots....
Here are just a few of my current obsessions:
*Carousel/Carnival Couture In an over-the-top elegant dress on a carousel & in a theme park/carnival setting (possibly at the Supermall in Auburn or at the Seattle Center?) Things with popcorn, cotton candy, bright colors, masks, feathers, rhinestones, sequins, etc!
*Bathing Beauty In a funky bathtub - or something like a vintage claw foot tub, just having fun with the bubbles.
*Rain on my Parade With an Umbrella, possibly a nice vintage parasol, very whimsical - lots of fun shots to be had there! I have a vision that involves my own yellow umbrella + polka dot rain boots as well. (Check out my You Can Stand Under My Umbrella list! I love umbrellas!)
*Makeup Beauty Shots Dramatic makeup head shots - looking for MUAs for this as well! looking to do rhinestones, glitter, mask-looking full face makeup, very flashy looks, clown/mime makeup, and anything else the MUA is wanting to try out & experiment with. i am very open to makeup looks, and i am also capable of doing a lot of looks on myself. (Inspiration in my Hot Makeup and Hair list!)
*Pinup Styles very cheesy and typical pinup poses ala vargas! wardrobe, makeup, and hair would be helpful, but can be provided by me as well. I would like to do "naughty housewife" style pinups in particular. i have some cute props for this, including a hot pink frying pan! Also 50s bowling pinup cutie - me with my bright magenta bowling ball & vintage retro blue & white bowling bag in capris or a knee length skirt + a 50s style cardigan w/ retro pin curled hair & classic makeup - rosy cheeks & bright lips. preferably shot in a neat bowling alley. (Check out my Perfect Pinups list for inspiration!)
*Fairy Tale particularly dark fairy tales, or fairy tales & princesses gone wrong.... 1. Sleeping beauty - me lying "dead" w/ pale makeup and bright lips with flowers all around me - very dark and moody. need creative lighting. Also would like to do a sexy couture fashion snow white. i have a dress for this: it's actually more like lingerie- bright blue, silky, lacey, and racey. i would also wear red thigh high stockings with bows at the top, blue heels, a big red bow in very messy teased black hair, lots of bright red lipstick, and some very bold jewelry including a yellow apple necklace. i would want to pose in the forrest, in a very high-fashion style setting. some poses with a very bright shiney red apple, some lying on the forrest floor amongst leaves after having bitten into the "poisoned" apple, etc. (Check out examples in my Once Upon a Time list!)
*Candy-Coated Sexy candy girl with pink cotton candy & a great big lollipop & various other confections such as bubble gum, ice cream, confetti, balloons, etc. with me wearing white or pink, with lots of lace and ruffles and bows, maybe a ruffled petticoat. hair in pigtails or curly and very bouncy. very innocent but flirty with a fluffy cheesy feel. (just check out my list: Sugar-Coated for inspiration)
*Cosplay, Lolita, Fruits, Decora Fashion Cosplay, lolita, Japanese fashion style shots ala FRUiTS... (i have lots of funky japanese style clothes, with bright colors, and crazy combinations - this is how i normally dress on a day-to-day basis....) I also have several hand-made anime character costumes from past anime conventions I have attended. (Some great inspiration in my Super Kawaii!!! and Hot Fashion lists)
*Any other innovative and creative fashion, editorial, or glamour themes
*Anything similar to the photos marked in any of my lists, as these are my favorite types of modeling & photography (see below)

If you feel interested in any of these shoots, have ideas to add, or questions about more details of the shoots i want to try, go ahead and contact me and let me know which ones, so we can discuss them in further detail!



-THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND-
-When at a shoot, I treat everyone, including myself, with respect. I believe a successful shoot is one where everyone involved is at ease, comfortable, friendly, upbeat, mature, efficient, and participating in the creative process.

-I reserve the right to bring a personal escort on every photo shoot. This escort will be very professional and will either remain quietly in the background of all sessions, or assist the photographer or model if needed.

-I currently work part time and go to school, so my schedule is tight. If you think you'd like to work creatively with me, contact me and we'll try to work something out! I will always try to respond to your emails in a timely manner.

-PERSONAL INFO-
I am currently working part time at a Hollywood Video, doing promotional modeling, and going to school part time at Bellevue Community College. I have been modeling in my free time for 3 years now. My ultimate career goals are to become a nurse (possibly at Children's hospital), to someday own and operate my own bed & breakfast, and to own & operate my own vintage clothing shop. I enjoy web design, reading, writing, watching movies, art (including makeup artistry, clothing design, photography, sketching/drawing, sewing, making jewelry, etc). I consider myself an artist through and through, and am always very interested in creative and artistic projects and ideas.
