Note to Photographers: Please be sure to read the AVAILABILITY/BOOKING section of my profile in full before contacting me for work.

TRAVEL SCHEDULE:
No travel scheduled. Los Angeles area availability only until further notice here.

BACKGROUND: I have worked as a nude/figure model since 1998. I am very authentic and "real"...I absolutely love being in front of the camera and I am comfortable in a wide variety of settings. I strive to bring a warm, feminine and classy touch to my work regardless of how explicit it may be. I'm also extremely easy to get along with and pride myself on being open-minded, friendly and totally free of ego or drama. I understand that a photographer's time is just as important to him or her as my own time is to me, so I am always focused on the shoot and my punctuality and reliability are above reproach. I have never once flaked out on a shoot for any reason and can provide numerous professional references.

INTERESTS: My primary focus is Nude Modeling. Unlike some models who are merely "willing" to pose nude, I am very comfortable with my body and actually prefer it. An exhibitionist at heart, I am totally comfortable working nude with other models, both male and female, in couples shoots as well as in doing nude in nature/nude in public work. I am also drawn to parts modeling, especially my hands, feet and butt. Last but not least, I enjoy Swimwear, Glamour and Lingerie work. Really, pretty much anything that makes me feel feminine and sexy interests me. My limitations are few, so do not hesitate to contact me with your ideas. The more creative/imaginative the photographer, the better!

MISCELLANEOUS: My belly button is tastefully pierced. Other than that, I have no other body piercings, no birthmarks or scars and NO TATTOOS. I am exceptionally healthy...I work out with a personal trainer 5-6 days a week and am a non-smoker, so I have a high degree of physical stamina and flexibility for poses. Most people assume that I am at least 10-12 years younger than my actual age.

TRADE vs PAID WORK: I am always open to select TFCD/TFP with highly accomplished, exceptionally skilled photographers whose work will benefit the portfolios of both parties, not just the photographer. In order for me to consider a trade collaboration with you, your portfolio must contain an established body of work which is clearly of equal or better technical quality than that currently found in my own port AND which displays both artistic merit and a unique vision. If this criterion is not met, I will not consider trade work with you. Please contact me for my rates.

AVAILABILITY/BOOKING: I am currently based in the metro Los Angeles area. Please note that I do not model for a living thus, due to work and family obligations, my ability to travel elsewhere is very limited and my expenses must be paid in full or shared, depending on the situation. Please provide the following information when contacting me to book a shoot or workshop:

1. Phone number, e-mail and website (if applicable).
2. A brief description of the shoot concept or workshop theme.
3. Proposed compensation (pay, tear sheet, publication, TFP/TFCD)
4. Intended image use (web, magazine, book, prints, commercial client, etc.)
5. Proposed date(s), time, location and length of shoot.
6. Travel compensation, if offered.
7. If applicable, provisions for MUA, stylist, wardrobe, accessories, etc. (Note that I do my own hair/makeup for 99% of my work, and enjoy doing so.)
8. Any additional information about yourself and/or  your professional references which you feel may be appropriate.
