I am really chill and easy to get along with. I like to have a good time at shoots. In many shoots, I do the makeup, hair, and wardrobe styling. I am also experienced in Photoshop and doing touch ups. I am a visual artist by trade, doing primarily illustrations and printmaking. I am mainly a commission artist, but I am affiliated with the Soap Factory Gallery.
I am open to doing pretty much any genre of photo shoot, but I am only taking paid work at this time. Please contact me for rates, I am very reasonable.
