I want to thank Felice, Sean, Sandra first for all their hard work. They made this blank canvas (me) into something so absolutely incredible, I can hardly believe it myself.
I would also like to thank Rich and Amy, they are the best assistants you could ever ask for in a photo shoot. If it wasn't for them, we probably wouldn't have been as Great!
I would also like to thank the weather for being so harsh (rainy windy muddy) today, if it wasn't for the weather...the photos wouldn't have worked so well and turned out brilliantly done!

New Photos for my Portfolio Below...
I put them as the first few so you won't be confused!
The list of some of the work I've done can be found at the End of this Bio session!! xxx
I am hard working. I learn fast and listen well. I have great communication skills. I am outgoing and I have a great sense of style. I am a very unique individual.
I love modeling and acting, it is a very important part of my life. I have great skills in acting and modeling as I've been doing this for about 6/7 years.
I also have very good piano skills as I've been learning for about 13 years as well as performing for a variety of concerts and shows for about 6 years.
Skills:
Football. Volleyball. Tennis. Soft Ball. Golf. Badminton. Squash
Body Enhancements:

Although I've done lots of modeling,I'm hoping that by joining modelmayhem, I will have more opportunities to work with talented individuals from photographers, makeup artists, stylists to models, etc...
As I am now registered with two agencies (EliteFace Models Management and Zebra Management) and soon to be with a third, I am only available for paid shoots (rates vary) and very few TFP and TFCD shoots.
However, please feel free to contact me because if I think the shoot benefits both my portfolio as well as yours, I am willing to do the shoots for TFP and TFCD.
I am willing to travel to the ends of the World if expenses are paid and of course if the people I work with are damn talented and amazing! (which many many of You are!)
I hope You all enjoy browsing through my profile and portfolio. I've recently contacted a few friends who are web designers so exciting news...My website is on its way...and "Under Construction!" so when that's done I will be able to show you more of my portfolio.
As I said, my website in under construction so I've posted a few pictures from my portfolio at the bottom so please enjoy!

She is one that can transform the most ordinary idea of concepts to the most imaginative shoot you could every think of. Who would have thought a Dark Angel with wings can be shot at such creative ends that made it so difficult for when you see the result to dare say: "I've seen that before!". She's such an incredible and successful photographer at such a young age and amazingly sweet to be with in person and now I can't wait for the Beautiful Results!!
