About Me

I will sit for any artistic photographer in trade only for the photographs they create.  I have a BA in black and white photography from ASU but I model as well.  I remember how hard it was to get people to pose for me while I was in school so I like to help artists.  I love photographers who shoot artistic black and white nudes, hippie nature girl, anything funky or sleek clean black and whites.  If this is you, I will pose for you. 

I'm very natural.  I have some freckles.  I think I look "bridal" on the outside but I'm more "funky artsy chick" on the inside.  I have a long torso and long legs.  I'm not 22 but I have a certain look, I am laid back and willing to work in a variety of settings and be part of the artistic ideas floating in photographer's heads.

I'm also a competitive ocean swimmer, swimming Escape from Alcatraz this summer.  I swam the Maui Channel, Gatorman, Coronado Sharkfest and hope to do Catalina Channel 26 mile relay this year as well.  If you're interested in taking athletic swimming photos, photographing a relay swim, ocean swim photos in the La Jolla Cove or any water or wet photo location or studio just let me know! 

I have experience with many different agencies as a promo model, and tradeshow representative.  Although I like to have fun interacting at these promotions, I understand the business side of these jobs and the most important thing is to advertise the product and increase the sales for the client.  I am open to many types of modeling and promotions. 

Besides doing promotional modeling work, I am a biologist working with the CA Spiny lobster in hopes to protect this species.  Please feel free to ask me any questions.  I am responsible and intelligent; when I make a commitment I do not break it.

What a great look you have! Take a look at my port and see what you think of the top 4 images. This series is based on juxtaposition of the models with iconic NYC streetscapes or with public arts pieces.

I've decided to take this concept on the road and create one image in each city I visit this year. I'd love for you to be part of that.

I'll be in San Diego all next week...actually arriving this Friday, but am planning to use the weekend to scout locations.

Final use of the images is the creation of fine-art prints for a potential New York gallery showing.

Compensation is TFCD, plus a copy of any print made from the shoot.

We would shoot early in the morning, right after sunrise--for two reasons: first, the light is beautiful at that time of day; and second, that's when the fewest people are on the streets.

Let me know if you'd like to participate. I think you're look is fantastic and would really like to shoot with you.
