I'm a DC-area photographer with experience in sport, event, wedding, and commercial photography. I'm looking to enhance my glamour and fashion portfolio with an intent to do more high-end commercial work. I'm open to both stylistic and subject suggestions, with the only caveat that I don't have a studio - yet ;-). We can negotiate studio shots, but know that they require advanced planning and appropriate fees to rent out a studio.
I'm am currently only doing TFP/ TFCD at Meet and Greet events, with really no exceptions. The honest truth is that I'm limited on time (since this is not my full-time gig), I've invested a lot in my gear and I will invest a lot in the photoshoot (ie. props, processing, etc). To get on my TF calendar outside of M & G's, please find a cool location, come up with a great concept and organize the wardrobe, etc. Otherwise, please expect to be paying for my quality services. My rates are VERY reasonable!
Upcoming Events (Updated 12 OCT 9):
no meet and greets currently scheduled
MUAs/ stylists/ wardrobe designers: Preferrable to have all three. However, I consider MUAs essential to the shoot. You must have an MUA that I approve PRIOR to the shoot. Rarely do I allow models to do their own make-up. I will not pay for the MUA unless this is a commercial shoot. And as a note to MUAs, I do not pay kit fees for TF shots unless you're planning on paying me an equipment fee to cover my camera gear.

Photoshop / Post-Processing
Typically, I will pick out the "good" shots, process them and send them too you. We don't have a limit on how many pictures we'll process, but understand we don't do every pic from a shoot.
My 'rules':
1. (Almost) all shoots will be conducted in conjunction with my husband (MM# 684173), also a photog.
2. Escorts are highly encouraged only because I believe personally believe in safety in numbers. Please do me an equal courtesy and note that when I said 'escort' I didn't say 'overbearing significant other who isn't comfortable with you modeling' or 'annoying friend who is only a distraction.'
3. Getting your pics back... I will provide pictures to you through email or a private download (link to a non-searchable site). CDs / DVDs are on request only. If we work TF...don't expect a quick turn around. I have a life outside of processing your photos for free.
4. All provided images will be full (or full cropped) resolution JPEG files. TIFF (lossless) files only on request.
5. I retain copyright in all cases...unless you want to pay me GROSS sums of money. Everybody has a price ;0)
Tear Sheets
Yes I've done 'em...I just need to update this part of my profile.
