I am curious to know if I have what it takes to make a living as a model.  I'm not expecting super model status, just a little something for me - a forty year old mother of 3 small lovely kids!

Currently, I have representation with an LA agency, and she seems to think I have what it takes to make a living in this industry!  I am interested in gaining experience in front of the camera, as well as with photographers, Stylist, MUA's and other artistic individuals.  Confidence breeds success!!  And practice makes confident (never perfect)!

I was bitten by the modeling bug at the tender age of 13.  I was asked to audition for a national TV commercial, from a talent scout that found me in an LA roller rink on my birthday!  Now TV cameras back in the late 70's were HUGE and I was very naive to the ways of the industry.  Therefore, I bombed!  But I rebounded just fine - thank you!

Now, at the age of 40 - and a life with a family that includes 3 kids - I now have the opportunity and the frame of mind to pursue my dreams once again!  Not to mention the wisdom and courage of age to say "Why not?"   I do believe age has helped me see things with a new perspective - and I rather like it!  Free to be me!

I am interested in working more mainstream projects that will help further my professional goals.  I am interested in Editorial/Print/Fashion, catalog, and Glamour.  That doesn't mean I am not open to creative ideas. 

Thank you for reading a little bit about me.  It's always hard to put yourself in a little box, but I tried.  I hate to be boxed in!

Comments and advice are always appreciated!  Mind you... I have learned to filter... Remember... I have 3 small children... Filters keep me sane with my lifestyle!
