I'm a female photographer specializing in high fashion, glamour, and wedding photography. I enjoy helping new models build their portfolios, and also helping more experienced models expand their portfolios - getting them the images and looks they need to get noticed! I use professional lighting for my indoor shoots, but I also like on-location shoots and the use of available natural lighting, too!
I bring a unique artistic look to my photoshoots - I'm really into transforming photos into art, and I feel strongly that the extra attention this gets the model's images makes all the difference in the world when there's a pile of comp cards sitting on a client's table and you want yours to be the one that gets that critical "second look"!
My style is fun, classy ( never trashy ), and low-stress - my photoshoots are always a blast and I just know you will love the results so let me know if you want to build your portfolio, expand it, or have a special project in mind - I'm open to all sorts of ideas and would love to work with you!
I love to use photoshop to make great images even better, and I'm happy to help you with your images if you like. My rates are very reasonable and I do everything from simple touch-ups to your face and skin to complex works of art that will really make your images stand out!
My rates are very reasonable - $75 per hour for your session, with the option to purchase additional items ( comp cards, zed cards, promo sheets, etc. ). All sessions INCLUDE a disc of fully-edited/optimized and/or artistically enhanced images, along with a rights release.
My rates are also negotiable, based upon the circumstances. If you have a look or an idea that I feel will benefit my own portfolio, I will consider reducing the rate or, rarely, TFDVD. I will consider negotiating my rates for models who are just starting out and need a good initial portfolio, too. So, don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like to shoot, because it never hurts to ask, right?

*** THE MOST FUN YOU'LL EVER HAVE ***
In September of 2008, we held an incredible, Maxim-style photoshoot "marathon" in Columbus, and it was awesome! The response was unbelievable, so I decided to do another in November and the response was even better! Over thirty models contacted me for a spot, and I had only five to offer! It was so hard to turn away so many beautiful models, but I knew I'd be having more photoshoot marathons in the future.
Since then, I've had seven more photoshoot "marathons", and every time I've been getting more and more models contacting me to participate! Apparently, when you've got a good thing going, word travels fast! Just as with the others, the models have been superb and it is such a fun time for everyone involved! Most importantly, the models are getting amazing new images for their portfolios!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the models who've been a part of these photoshoots. Beautiful, professional, fun, determined - I could go on and on!
I highly, HIGHLY recommend each of the models that I've listed below in the credits section. They each are good, classy, professional models and were incredible to work with!
***UPDATE***
Shari, one of the models who participated in my November marathon, was in the Columbus Bride Show a few months ago, hitting the runway in a variety of gorgeous wedding gowns. You should've seen her - she looked so beautiful and glamorous - she was absolutely stunning!!! It was so fun for me to see a model I've worked with moving forward with her career in such a manner! Congratulations to Shari and my very best wishes for her continued success! She's going to be a star!
***MORE UPDATES***
One of our models, Megan, who is not on Model Mayhem, is skyrocketing to the top! She's been getting all sorts of work, and recently began shooting with French Fashion Designer Juliette Longuette! Congratulations, Megan!
If you are an agent or photographer and you are interested in working with any of the models listed below, please feel free to contact me, and I will glady give you a glowing review of each and every one of them!!!
For anyone else who may be interested in our next marathon photoshoot, don't hesitate to contact me at any time to let me know, and I'll be happy to provide you with more details. The "marathon" photoshoots are fun, they're zero pressure, and I guarantee you will love your images!
