About me
Key note: I have a minor blemish on my left knee from a severe car accident in Jan, it is slowly fading and I do cover it with make up when asked, depending on lighting it may show up though.

Do NOT waste my time! If you do not like my look, work, or the way I handle my shoots then you do not need to contact me. I will not waste yours in return, I state everything up front and answer any and all questions without beating around the bush, I expect the same. This is part of professionalism.

NEW! Hair Extensions: Pink, Purple, Blue, Red, Black, Dark Brown, Ivory/Bleach Blonde. I also have glow-in-the-dark turquoise and cotton candy pink, the quality isn't as nice and I only have 1-2 each. So if you are looking for that unique shot or just a darker/lighter hair color let me know and I can create multiple looks.

I have C Strings! One of the sexiest pieces of bottoms around right now! Google it and you will see what I mean smile I do have to trim extra and they require special care so rates will be a little higher.

Adding a Civil War Re-enactor! If you are interested in a Civil War related shoot and would like to add a Confederate or Union soldier my re-enactor is a mere $100 extra! He can bring tons of replica camp equipment, a musket, and a sword! However if you would like to work with him solo (without me involved his rate will go up according to distance from Delaware County, PA as I normally will cover his gas in my fee). Please see my photos for a picture of him.

OMP 381972

I live in the suburbs in Lower Bucks County (on the border of NJ). I do drive.

Reply, reply, reply...not replying to an email (yes, I can see that you read my message, I know you're there) is not a good way to be seen as "professional".

Do not complain about "no call, no show" models unless you intend on fixing it. I am very reliable, but if you use someone else and they don't show up I don't feel bad for you. If you used me you wouldn't have had that problem big_smile

I give out my regular email usually in the first email, it is often much easier to connect with me there (especially when I do not get notifications of e-mails from these sites). I do not post it here to avoid spam. If we share a connection to shoot then I share my phone number.

*Please comment or message me if you would like to be my friend. I do apologize but I keep my friend's list to those I HAVE worked with, INTEND on working with, or those with similar goals. If you randomly "friend" me, it will be declined.

Ok, I know I'm chatty (I'm just extremely personable), but for those who need it, this is the short of it, The Cliff Notes:

I try to keep my rates reasonable and I am flexible, and can easily work out a deal, but this has become a primary source of income for me and if you want quality you pay for it. Instead of not replying when I send my rates let me know what you were looking to spend, it might be in my range, if it is not no hard feelings and hopefully some day our paths will cross again.

What I shoot:

Bikinis!
Lingerie!
Pin-up!
Boudoir!
Corsets!
Figure Skating!
WAM (Wet and Messy - pies, slime, etc) videos - I am VERY experienced here
Costume (I have a Civil War settler dress, Medieval dress, Authentic Silk Sari, Sailor Bikini complete with hat, and short Geisha robe - I can create numerous others with the enormous wardrobe I have, just ask!)
Dance wear (I have ballet and jazz, along with jazz sneakers, ballet slippers, and pointe shoes)
Implied
Fetishes (Feet, Underwear, Backside, etc)
Parts
Casual
Dress/Formal
Bodyscapes
Artistic/Figure/Erotic Nudes (all work is kept offline-meant for Art Galleries, Private Collections, etc)- Nude work is NOT available for TF, I have tons of these already. Because I do not post nude work online I am happy to meet beforehand to show you my nude portfolio in person. I know this limits me in distance, but if you are far away and want to be sure I produce outstanding images I can get you in contact with photographers who would back me up, I am well loved in the nude photography world.

I would LOVE to try:

Fantasy (Mermaids and Fairies especially)
Characters (Emma Frost, Jedi, etc)

I DO NOT shoot:

Pornography
Smoking/Drugs (or anything portraying either, unless it is against these)-Important: I am highly allergic to cigarette/cigar/etc smoke, and despise the smell. If you allow smoking in your studio I am sorry but I cannot work with you. I don’t look pretty with watery, red eyes, and 45 minute nosebleeds.

Specs: I am a natural nut; no tattoos, only my earlobes are pierced (standard piercing, unless I wear earrings they don't even show), Curly Strawberry Blonde Hair past shoulder length (I do not mind straightening it), Green eyes, Fair Complexion (I am human, as such there are some imperfections and blemishes), 5'2", 107lbs, 34C, 26" waist, 34" hips, size 8 shoe, and size 3 dress/pants. I shave my underarms, lower legs, and bikini line, I trim my nether region (I can completely shave if requested, however the compensation has to be substantial). The rest of my body hair is blonde and invisible in photos, I will not shave it.

I usually do my own make up and hair. I do not mind a make up or hair artist so long as they do not mind using my products.

I have a wardrobe that could clothe a small country, I have most items that anyone could possibly need to make a photo happen.

I take my modeling very professionally (if I am running late I give a courtesy call, I give 110% during every shoot), but that doesn’t mean that I don’t like to have fun. I laugh, I giggle, and I make small talk. I am very eloquent and can carry a conversation on just about anything which makes working with me seem like time is flying. If you have an idea in your head that you are trying to create please let me know and I will do everything I can to make that image work. Don't hesitate to give me direction during the shoot as I cannot see the image that you have in mind. I take direction pretty quickly and to a “T” if it is humanly possible. Otherwise I will direct myself and attempt to make some outstanding, unique, and fun images.

The Novel (To answer all the questions I am asked the most):

When e-mailing me please acknowledge that you have read at least the Cliff Notes. I ask that when you e-mail me that you give me the basics of what you are offering (i.e. compensation, area where shoot will take place, genres you would like in shoot, etc), not just “Hi, I want to shoot, call me”…that doesn’t tell me anything before I waste my time calling to find out that you are offering me something I have no interest in. With that said, don’t waste my time, it is valuable, I do not have 2 hours to sit on the phone with you; about 20 minutes in I will zone out and start getting other work done. I am not trying to be rude, but I have had photographers do this to me and I think it is entirely unprofessional, not to mention half the time these people never call/e-mail again to actually schedule the shoot. Which brings me to my next point, do not start a conversation with me and then drop off the face of the planet with contacting me (it is a big pet peeve of mine)...so please return my e-mails (I go through my emails monthly and make sure EVERYONE is replied to). Even if you decide you do not have time to work with me please shoot me a courtesy e-mail saying so. I do not have time to send candid photos to everyone, I have plenty of unedited photos right here (yes, some of my photographers did not edit their photos). Candid photos are another time waster of photographers who do not know what they are looking for.

For ALL shoots!: My fiancée drives me. This DOES NOT mean that he will stay for the shoot, on the contrary actually; he usually finds a local Starbucks to entertain himself. I used to meet up beforehand at little coffee shops with photographers who seemed fine, until we got to the shoot location. I prefer my fiancée to know where I am now. I find that him having a visual description of my photographer, an exact location of where I am, and a rough idea of when I will be done keeps me safer and is still unobtrusive on the photographer. If you would like him to stay for the shoot (I have some photographers that appreciate the extra hand) he is usually more than happy to. He NEVER directs the shoot or gets in the way (I would personally flip out at him, I take this too professionally for him to act like a jealous nut), many of my photographers actually request him to come back because he is such a big help. I don't want to hear about escorts that were distractions, these models clearly are unprofessional and their escorts further reflect that. My escort is not and I have plenty of photographers who would back me up.

I base my rates solely off of the genre of the shoot and the type of release that you use, so the more protective release will receive a much lower rate (for instance the photos are for your portfolio and self-advertisement). All shoots are a minimum of 2-3 hours, unless you want to pay extra...this is due to the schedule blocking and time it takes to get ready before a shoot. Also if you would prefer to have a longer shoot but don't want to worry about time I have base rates that I use on occasion as well. Copy of photos, Clothes, and Tearsheets can be partial payment, please contact me with details of your shoot along with the payment involved. I am usually pretty easy about payment. If I am traveling a far distance, even if we make clothing as payment, please be reasonable and compensate me for gas (for instance to travel to Harrisburg or Maryland). I also expect you to confirm the night before or day of as I have had just as many "no call, no show" photographers as you have had models.

Why do I charge? For 1- I have been doing this for quite some time and I produce quality. Unlike most models I do not charge more for lingerie/bikini/nudes because I am removing more clothing, I charge more because I am far more advanced as a model in those genres. 2- this has become almost a full time job, without my paid assignments I could not pay my bills. 3-I have a wardrobe that could clothe a small country and the second I use an outfit for a shoot I replace it with at least 1-2 new ones so that I always have a variety that you will not see twice. My payment covers this constantly growing wardrobe. 4-I am sure as a photographer you expect to make money off your work (whether it is to entice models/clients to use you as their photographer, or to make money off the photos directly), at this point of my modeling career if you are going to make money off our shoot than I expect to as well.

I am very neat (I do not break things, or track dirt through your place), I always smell good, I come prepared with plenty of accessories, make up to re-apply, deodorant, and many other things that you wouldn’t even think of until you realize that we need it.

To put it in simple terms: If my breasts, pubic area, and butt crack are covered (it can be seen in a public magazine) then I am not afraid to bare it online and publicly. There is one instance where this is not the case:

Bodyscapes, but I do require a strict release as I do not want them to be viewed in any way other than artistic. But these can be online.

I do work with fantastic figure poses, I used to be able to hold 20 minute poses, however due to a bad car accident I do not feel that I will be able to hold for this length for quite some time (unless it is lounging/laying down). If you wish to use me for reference photos to later draw/sketch I can do this, but again I do require a protective release as the photos are to never be distributed commercially (mostly because I charge an artist's rate).

I figure skated for 10 years, so most of my poses have a dancer’s grace and elegance to them.

Description: I have naturally curly, strawberry blonde hair (I have never dyed my hair and never plan to so it will always be this color unless I have added some hair extensions which are removable), I have no tattoos (though I would be happy to have a henna or airbrush one applied for a shoot...please contact me for details), and just my ears are pierced at the lobes (just regular piercings, no ginormous holes, I'm not a slice of swiss cheese). I am an all-natural girl and am often referred to having a girl-next-door look. I do NOT lie about my measurements like many other girls...what you see here is what you will get the day of our shoot.  I may have a 26" waist, but that is due to broad hip and rib bones (i.e. I breathe properly: you can actually see their outline)...if I dropped to a 24" waist I would look anorexic...my abdomen could be used as an ironing board. I do shave and trim the majors as I model bikinis and lingerie quite often (upon request, and extra payment, I can allow my hair to grow in or I can shave completely). I do currently have minor blemishes on my face and chest that are concealed or Photoshopped very easily. I am sorry but unless your make up is entirely mineral and organic I would prefer using my own to keep to my all natural regimen (I break out quite easily). I do apologize but I will not get a breast increase (I can do this easily with a padded bra) or my hair dyed (unless you want it a darker color and it can be done with henna). As henna lasts up to 6 weeks I will ask for a much higher pay as I probably will not be able to accept as many shoots as most photographers prefer my natural hair color.

I highly enjoy lingerie, bikini, and pin-up work. Although I haven't been able to try it out yet I would love to get into fantasy art modeling (such as fairies, mermaids, etc). I did figure skate for 10 years (I still do just not every week like I once did), if you need a great figure skating shoot let me know (there definitely aren't too many of these in the photography world). I am a big time Eagles fan, a video gamer, and a Star Wars  geek, so if you have any ideas related to any of these don't hesitate to shoot them my way. I am very selective on fetish modeling so if you are interested in shooting me for this please contact me with full details and compensation.

If you would like to work with me please don't hesitate to contact me (I don't bite).

*I check my e-mail nearly everyday and reply to it almost immediately so if you contact me and you do not see a reply within a few days start checking your Spam box, I have had a few occasions where my e-mails were being thrown into Spam because of constant correspondence*

I was also a Magician’s Assistant for Arioch (before he decided to discontinue performing randomly), I would like to become one again. If you are a Magician/Illusionist and would like to see my past performances I can try to send you the links.
Feel free to contact me with any questions, especially if you are a model, I am always happy to answer them.
