Xierra

           
Aloha, my name is Cierra and I am a model based in Honolulu, Hawaii.  I’ve been modeling for 3 years in which I’ve used the time to learn the many aspects of modeling and to discover what I like to do and what I’m good at.  I’ve met so many wonderful people, aspired and professionals alike, driven to be the best they can be in this competitive industry.  Everyday I am constantly inspired and driven - to mount every goal and reverie, to rise above those that doubt me, to conquer every barrier and impediment that stands in my way, to live life whole heartedly, to be a constant reminder that through Christ - anything is possible. With the support of my parents, family and friends, they’ve paved my modeling career in which I am humbly grateful for. 

I am an ambitious woman, always putting my best foot forward.  I am a rare gem that the world will soon discover. I am always looking to diversify my portfolio.  My goal is to model in the Asian, European and American market.  With advance notice, I am available for paid assignments, TFCD/P/F (if the concept will benefit my portfolio), and I am available to travel national/ international (if air & lodge expenses are paid).  I ask that you please provide a detailed release form/ contract that state your intentions and my rights to the edited shots or edited film.
 
You may either contact me here on Model Mayhem, email me at xierra_808@hotmail.com, or you may contact my agency, Hawaii Polynesian Models & Talent (contact info provided below). Aside my agency, I do have a coordinator/assistant name TJ that aids me through every shoot and casting, he is my brother.  Please be advised that all photo shoots and filming are approved and booked by my assistant, and I am always accompanied by him.  I ask that professionalism and respect be the utmost importance of our relationship.

I look forward to working with you in the near future.  Wishing you all the best in your endeavors!  Mahalo! (Thank You!)

What I've Noticed...as models have flaked on photographers, there have been photographers who have flaked on models too...me in particular.  You photographers know who you are, and I hope that you become more professional about these things in the future...cause I rarely give second chances.  I know I am not a top of the line model, but I have ambitions to be one, and in the future I'd like to thank you for helping me get there.  I can gaurantee you that I will be there and hold up my half of the bargain, and I would like to have no doubts of you keeping your half.  So please...be more professional and considerate of others...thank you.
