FRIEND REQUESTS:  I will only approve those who I want to work with.  This means you must be within 2 hours by car from Cape Cod.  If that means CT, RI, NH and MA, then that's fine.  Models from out of state who require airports to get here will be declined.  Let's not waste our time with this.  Thank you for understanding.

Special thanks and praise to all of the models in Florida and New England who recently hooked up with me in 2009.  You know who you are.  Each and everyone of you were special in your own way.  I broke records working with you this year (normally do 8 shoots in a single year, but this year I did more than 16).  HI-FIVE to ALL OF YOU!!!

In review of this great year of shooting, I will announce in November the WINNERS in the following categories:

MODEL OF THE YEAR  FLORIDA 2009 - KAYLA KJ

MODEL OF THE YEAR RHODE ISLAND - ASHLI

MODEL OF THE YEAR NEW ENGLAND -  KAELYN

Each lucky winner will be selected for outstanding work.  This selection is based on great communication, posing, being prepared, being fun to work with, etc.

Each lucky winner receives a small prize postal mailed, with a letter of thanks.

I could not have done this without you, THANKS SO MUCH!

Those who do not win are still very experienced, extremely nice people to work with.  But there will always be a few who positively shine as bright as the sun.  So for that reason, I select winners.  And the rest who don't win, it's always good.

So stay tuned.  If you're one of the models who worked with me in 2009, you're ALREADY entered in this contest.  Sit back relax and I will take care of everything else!!

IMPORTANT:

1)  All models MUST email me here regarding any work that we do in the future or have done in the past.

2)  I do not use or accept emails coming from models through the Twitter.com service.

3)  If you send a link for me to visit your Myspace page, please remember to add me as a friend so I can accept your invitation.

4)  My cell phone number when given to the model, is for voice calls or voice mail only.  I do not receive or respond to text messages.  If you really need to send me a (written) message you MUST use Model Mayhem or standard email.

4)  Friend Requests:  I will review all of these carefully.  If you meet my requirements (see below) and I like your work, you will hear from me right away.  Under most circumstances, I will offer immediate work and likewise I expect an immediate reply from you.  Please note:  I will delete all friends who do NOT respond to work offers.

5)  References:  (a)  I have the right to ask for these from you if I feel this is needed for making a decision to offer a model a shoot; (b)  Please review my tags here at my profile and select any of the models who said they had fun working with me.  Good tags mean positive work experience, so do not waste my time requesting references when you can point and click by scrolling down this page!

With that said and understood, now on to the good stuff:

From time to time I have castings for jobs available.

CURRENT JOB POSTINGS:

1)  Swimsuit Bookings Cape Cod Massachusetts - Summer 2009
     CASH PAY - based on my monthly photo budget

   *  Check the casting (s) below for more information

Please READ AND UNDERSTAND the terms in these job offers.

Do not assume anything because if YOU DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS and you write to me your letter will NOT be answered.  This policy includes friend requests as well as mentioned from above.

With that being said and understood:

Would like to work for swimsuit magazines & catalogs.  Specialize in pictures of models with colorful pool toys, such as beach ball, tube, or other inflated raft.  The idea is to take the toy picture from the package, and go as sexy as possible without being nude.  i.e.  Maxim, Stuff, FHM, etc.  Please note this is for networking only.  If I add you as a friend it is because I expect a shoot with you.  I will delete all friends who do not follow through and I will make this clear as we exchange first time emails.  I do this because I want to shoot and have fun!  So please, join me when I invite you to do so but do not waste my time otherwise.
