Hello!
Over the past year I have been modeling professionally for photography and events, though I have been modeling off and on over the past 5 years as an artists' model. I take direction very well and I do my best to achieve the very best shots that I can. From my experience with modeling for artists I have the ability to hold poses for a very lengthy amount of time with minimal movement. I am also experienced with modeling for wet plate photography and other alternative styles.
Currently I have very little TFP/TFCD availability, especially for nude work, but that doesn't mean I'll say no if you approach me about it! I love hearing about new and obscure ideas, so feel free to run any artistic ideas past me.
I am no longer interested in shooting full nude work, but there are some implied and fashion nude ideas that I am interested in exploring. Please feel free to approach me about nudes, but also do not be offended if I say no. If you have an artistic concept or outstanding idea, please bounce it off of me! After all, I'm an artist first and foremost.
I'm currently trying to add more beauty/make-up modeling work to my portfolio, as well as some fashion.
If you are interested in contacting me, please send an email to:
gretchen.model@gmail.com
Please include your MM ID number in the email so that I can easily identify who you are. I also ask for two weeks notice for shoots so that I can guarantee my attendance.
Also, as a final note, I will not do location shoots in my home.
Once again, thank you for your interest!

To days of inspiration,
Playing hookey, making something
Out of nothing, the need
To express-
To communicate,
To going against the grain,
Going insane,
Going mad
