Message, tag, etc if you want me to accept your fr. No fly-by friend requests will be approved! That being said, please take a moment to read my profile if you're hoping to work with me. I have travel dates and upcoming projects listed
***THIS JUST IN/EVENT NOTICES!***
I'm a professional cosplay model and I will be signing autographs and selling comic book artwork of me, drawn by cartoonist Steve Scott, at several upcoming conventions
I'm the muse of KY-based photographer Chris Hayes, who I'm working exclusively with. We have an entire list of shoots in the works, so stay tuned!
I am planning another trip to Chicago for early August, I will be attending Lollapalooza on the 4th :}
Prints of me can be seen during the Huntington Artwalk, a monthly downtown event that promotes local businesses and art community
My booking schedule is tentative as I add new listings frequently. States you will often find me in: PA, OH, MD, and VA
I am one of the "Classic Beauties", a WV-based pin-up girl group which supports our nation's veterans and war heroes. I will be very busy this year participating in events for fundraising and promotional work
I'm focusing on getting into more publications, and primarily modeling authentic vintage clothing and Pin-up attire since it's my favorite genre. I'm most interested in posing with antique cars and doing traditional studio work
-Hi there, danke sehr for checking out my port. Enjoy the eye candy ^_~
-A bit of background first... I'm WV's original Pin-up model, I'm published and I've been full-time on and off for over half a decade. My main genre of work is retro glam and vintage, and I focus primarily on bookings of that nature. I can say with certainty that being a model is an integral part of who I am. My (unofficial) start in modeling was at a fairly young age. I did my first commercial before I was even in my teens and my first shoot around the age of 15, modeling vintage clothing. It is a definite passion of mine, and I feel my originality is obvious in my work
-Of German, English and Dutch descent
-I'm into 1920s-40s fashion
-I love sci-fi, art deco and anything from the WWII era
*What it's like to work with me...
-I only collaborate with individuals who have a definitive art vision. I like to focus more on working with other artists to create timeless images, rather than people who just want to "shock" others with their photos. That isn't important to me
-I'm a water baby, and a very good swimmer. I also love underwater modeling, and I have a preference for indoor pools
-Depending on given situations I do have rates, but they are negotiable
-Cell number is available upon request. I am not one of those models that refuses to arrange shoots via phone, so if you prefer to discuss shooting arrangements that way, not a problem. But please keep in mind that it is most convenient for me to take calls in the evening. And I do have unlimited text
-I'm extremely flexible, with years worth of gymnastics, Jazz dance experience and my love for ice skating. I can master practically any pose
-I'm my own makeup artist and wardrobe stylist. More examples of my styling ability can be found here:

-My hair is half-way down my back, I also have eyebrow length bangs that I can pull back when needed, natural color is dark Blond. I prefer to have a hairstylist on set. My hair is wavy/ curly, very thick, and takes forever to dry. So if a shoot calls for a specific style (i.e finger waves, pin-curls) if you spring for it, I'll sport 'em
-As you can see from my port I have an IMPECCABLE sense of style, but I do accept clothing and accessories in trade for a shoot as well. And yes, I DO make my own clothes on occasion. I'm a seamstress in my spare time
-I scar and bruise easily, and since I'm so fair skinned they can't be hidden that well with makeup. These are the only physical traits I am o.k. with being edited. What you see is what you get
-All stats are kept current and updated. I'm good friends with my tape measure and scales
-My eyes are a shade of green that appear grey
-I favor studio work, but I'm not limited to the indoors. I have been known to brave below freezing temperatures in mini dresses and open-toed heels to get "that" shot
-I do have a fiance who may accompany me to shoots occasionally, but if you aren't cool with an escort I can arrive solo. Not an issue. I can (and do) travel by myself
-I love to contribute to concepts and ideas for shoots. Ever since I was a little girl I've been artistic, and modeling is my medium
*Shoot preferences
-I am willing to travel a considerable distance if a deposit for expenses is paid in advance... I cannot stress enough that I absolutely do not travel without compensation for at least cost of getting me there and back. That is non-negotiable, so please do not expect me to waive anything more than my half-day rate if you want to import me
***I especially appreciate photogs who host, but I expect to know detailed information. This again I can't stress enough, if you provide lodging, GIVE ME DETAILS***
-Never have and never will flake. Even if I'm under the weather or get stuck in traffic, I can guarantee that I will be there. If there is a last minute scheduling error or mishap, I will offer to book for a different time or day
-Aside from paid work, TF Latex and/or publish is my preferred compensation, (unless it's one of my theme projects). Furthermore, if you are lucky enough to do a TF project with me, I request that I help select which pictures get edited and etc. That's the trade off for not paying me ;}
-Proud to be tattoo free, will not wear fake ones for a shoot either
-I literally do not tan, I have a porcelain complexion. So I will not damage my skin for any project, nor even do spray tans. My alabaster skin is partially what gets me booked. I'm very proud of my fairness. Also, I won't dye my hair any other color or wear wigs. I'm very consistent with my look
-Call me vanilla, but I do not pose with other models
-If wardrobe is provided, it WILL fit. Staying slim is in my blood. I'm short waisted and all leg (as you can see from my photos). It's no optical illusion, I really do have the most amazing legs
-I don't claim to know anything about Photoshop/editing photos in general. Nor do I tamper with my photos, so no worries about me attempting to do a hack job re-edit on the photos you give me
... Lastly, I do not automatically turn down last minute work but I do prefer a more planned project. If you have any questions about rates and availability, please feel free to ask!
P.S. there are a few con "artists" and charlatans on here in the region that I do not recommend, if interested in a head's up send me a PM
