I am a woman with a passion for having her photo taken!

I have been told my entire life that I should try modeling out so I did, picking up small gigs here and there which I modeled in for free in my spare time. They included gigs such as modeling clothes for a small, local clothing business in exchange for a piece of clothing and experience, helping friends who were aspiring photographers by letting them snap pictures of me, helping build experenced photographer's boudoir shoot portfolios, things of that nature. But I never really delved into the more serious modeling business outside of helping friends. I went to one casting call and was selected to move onto the next, more serious level in another city, the chance to be signed on to big names, but it wasn't the right timing in my life. It was expensive and the process was moving too quickly for me, at that time just a college student. I have a family now, motivation to make them (and myself!) proud and I would like to take a real stab at seeing what my modeling potential is, starting as a freelance model. I would love to make some extra money from the gigs for my family but mostly to try and tap into what my true modeling potential may be!

I also have taken up photography as a hobby and have done quite a few (novice) shoots as well as shadowed some more experienced photographers so I have some know-how about the other side of modeling, what the photographer is seeing from his end and how hard he or she has to work to get those good shots. I want to make the photographer's job easy by giving out those great shots since I know how difficult it can be to get good shots from someone who isn't comfortable around the camera.

I have a taste for the unique so I am definitely all for trying things like cosplay modeling or other styles considered different. I have a few tattoos and have done many crazy hairstyles and colors. I am not afraid to go bold and different! I can also fit into a subtle, simple shoot. I am willing to go for anything (except nude shoots)! Email is my preferred method of contact.

I would prefer money compensation for my time but I also highly value experience and so would be more than willing to exchange my time for a CD copy and rights to the photos from the shoot, edited and non-edited to add to my modeling portfolio.
