Katie-Belle

***Before adding me as a friend, please send me a little note, Thank you***

"Cowgirl at heart, my main interest is preserving the American rural lifestyle through my schooling, job and of course by capturing it in a photo." 

Hey y'all...I’m the one and only Katie-Belle.  I am now a graduate of Colorado College. My modeling experience has been somewhat limited due to the fact that I was a full time college student concentrating on my degree first and foremost.  But now that I am a  graduate, I will have much more time on my hands that can be used to for modeling and not homework. 

A long time goal of mine is to someday work my way up to modeling for big brand western clothing companies, especially Wrangler and Cruel Girl.  I love modeling the “cowgirl,” “country girl,” “farm girl,” call it whatever you like photo shoot, especially when horses are involved.  I would love to meet models with similar fashion interests who wouldn’t mind giving a new model some tips as well as meeting any photographer willing to help a new model expand her portfolio and explore a long time interest!

I’m the real deal cowgirl, no act playing on my part.  I’m very easy to get along with and enjoy meeting new people.  I myself am interested in photography and always like to speak with photographers and try to learn from them.  I can be somewhat of a risk-taker when comfortable, such as jumping on the back of a horse without a saddle and modeling on it, hoping the horse doesn’t take off or throw me off; or leaning out barn lofts to get that perfect picture. Yikes!  I do enjoy trying new things and am very open minded to other types of photo shoots other than the “cowgirl” shoot as well.  I like to go with the flow, and quickly warm up to people.  But am also very able to do rapid outfit changes in a flash!

I have no tattoos or piercings other than pierced ears.  I am Navajo, so I also have that natural light tan all year long…lucky me.  My hair is naturally a very dark brown but I have added a few blond highlights here and there.  The rest of my characteristics you can probably determine by reading my stats on my profile.

I have a full time job, but I am generally available on weekends and in the late afternoons and evenings.  Given enough notice I can usually arrange for horses to be in the pictures.I am willing to travel anywhere in Colorado, sometimes New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming for a good shot.  I’m always willing to travel as long as expenses are covered or if I know that the photo shoot will be worth while.

Before you ask...nudes, partial nudity or otherwise shots are non-negotiable at this time. I am concentrating on becoming a western fashion wear model. I believe that great shots can be achieved without baring it all and there is beauty in leaving some things to the imagination. 

I really enjoy black and white photography and anything else that is a little bit different like infrared shots, etc I am very easy to work with and to contact and will negotiate!

I realize that I am a work in progress, but I am very determined to reach my goal of becoming a western wear model.  I know I have a lot to learn and work with willing photographers would be a great deal of help to me….so lets saddle up and shoot!

I hold the title of Miss Honky Tonk Badonkadonk Colorado.  If you aren't familiar with country artist, Trace Atkin's song, Honky Tonk Badonkadonk, it is basically a song about a gal with a nice looking butt.  A well known, statewide, Colorado country radio station had a honky tonk badonkadonk competition (in other words, a best butt contest) and I just happened to win.  Along with other best butt competitions at local bars so you can say that I keep my best attribute behind me.  I have also placed as one of the top 6 semi-finalists for the Cruel Girl Western Wear Model Competition this past January.
