FIT, FINE & FABULOUS IN MY 40s!!!

First let me say that if you send me a friend request and the majority of your pics are of tits, ass and half nakedness, then you are not the photographer or model for me to work with and I will not accept your request. I am a respectable, classy, GROWN, mother of two girls and will be treated in that manner. I am not trying to make a career out of modeling but if it happens, it will be for those reasons and not because I was willing to sell myself short by thinking the only way I can make it in this industry is by demeaning myself. Simple as that... if you don't like it, then move on to someone young-minded and desperate, who is willing to do those things.

Now that we have an understanding, here is a little about me: I am a Certified Personal Trainer & Group Exercise Instructor.  In October 2011 I competed in my first figure (NOT bodybuilding) competition and came home with TWO top 5 trophies, which is a big deal for someone who is new to competing.  I would like to combine my passion for fitness and love for modeling by becoming a fitness model for a well-known fitness apparel and/or supplement company. I want to continue to be an inspiration and motivation for the more mature women, especially (single) moms out there who are afraid to step outside of the box and pursue their dreams just because of their age or they have children or they've let people tell them they can't do something. There's no such thing so get off your butts and just do it. I am and I LOVE my life!!

I am MAINLY accepting PAID work, however I will consider TFP/CD shoots with reputable photographers whose work will enhance my portfolio and/or with photographers I have already shot with and created beautiful images.

I want to thank all of the people I have worked with thus far (see the Credits below) especially the photographers for seeing something in me that I don't see. 
I am always amazed by the finished product - it is like looking at a totally different person. I have learned something new from all of you and truly appreciate you. 
I have to give extra thanks to jnathandworx, the first photographer I ever shot with in November '06.  That shoot was about me dealing with some self-conscious issues I had but once he saw the pics he strongly encouraged me to pursue modeling and look at me now. I've come a LONG way baby.

You can currently find me in an e-book titled "Portraits of Eve: Women of Color Share Their Body/Soul Conversations", by Herb Way (MM# 661) - "a collection of semi-nude and nude photographic portraits of sixty women of color who represent  a range of ages, ethnicities and body types.  The women share their body/soul conversations through personal statements that reflect their culture, values, life experiences and self images."  Please support us and our endeavors of getting this wonderful piece of work published by purchasing your copy at: www.portraits-of-eve.com.  Thank you in advance for your support.

I love to laugh and have fun while doing my shoots.  I am open to new ideas and take direction well.  I am interested in print, editorial, commercial, fashion, swimwear, and lingerie.  I am available to travel with advance notice and all expenses paid.  I WILL NOT DO NUDES OF ANY KIND, especially not TFP/CD, so please don't ask.  My rates are very reasonable and a model release will need to be signed PRIOR to shooting.

Just a few tidbits of info:
- I'm a mix of Black, Filipina, Chinese, (Cherokee) Indian & Irish (talk about a melting pot)
- 6 tattoos: small one on my stomach, one on the back of each shoulder, one across my lower back, one on the back left side of my neck and one on the inside of my left wrist
- surgery scar - right side of my back below my tattoo: I call it my testimony scar (ask and I'll testify)
- vaccination mark (nickel size) - upper left arm
- very small birthmark with a mole on it - left of my belly button

I appreciate all of the love and support that I've been receiving thus far.  You cannot begin to know how much it means to me.  It keeps me motivated so keep it coming.

Peace & blessings to you all!!!
