My mother tells me I have "been a ham my whole life." Which could explain my passion for being photographed. I have been involved in modeling for nearly 6 years. I can't get enough of it. I am a ginger, in every meaning of the word. I have freckles; & I'm proud of it. Big vintage hairstyles, with bright red lipstick; almost every day of my life. My closet is full of dresses, skirts, shoes, & lingerie. [Also, I'm highly OCD; so it's color coordinated. haha] Sassy, & classy. Swear like a sailor. Animal, art, & literature lover. Banjo player, baker, & nerd.  I also obsess over June McCall, Harry Potter, & Rita Hayworth from time to time. [This may seem like a buncha' nonsense, but it's who I am. I promise I'm a swell gal!]
I have tons of ideas for shoots that I would love to make happen; I'm just looking for the right people to work with.
I am free to shoot on weekends, & some weekday evenings. [Depending on the location.]
I am very interested in submitting photos/sets to publications!!
Please message me if you'd like to work together!!
I can also be contacted through my FB page  - www.facebook.com/Chevrulette

*Update 10/2012*

First & Foremost::
I am always more than happy to shoot paid gigs. Please message me for my rates. [Vary upon genre of shoot, travel, length of shoot time,ect. ]
Time For Publication:  If you have a fantastic concept, a real desire to work with me; or you believe we can benefit each other’s ports—please message me! I am eager to hear whatcha’ have in mind! :]
If we work together I am more than willing to sign a model release.  I don’t mind watermarks, & I will not crop them out. I understand photos are copyrighted by the photographer. ***However, I am currently submitting photos to publications, so that does change things a bit. [Please see the next paragraph, I’ll explain. Haha]
For publication shoots:: I request  10-15 [UNSeen!] high resolution images—no watermark. [Most publications will not even consider a photo with a watermark.] You will still receive your deserved credit in the publication. Also, you will either need to allow me to sign a photo release on your behalf, or you will need to sign it yourself. [I will provide you with all the information, & the forms that are needed.]  ** I will inform you if I intend to submit the photos from our set[s] before I send the photos.  I don’t mean to sound like a typical “high maintenance” model, just want to be honest about my goal with the art we make.  :]

****Please be honest & realistic about the time you will need for editing. I understand life happens, but please don’t tell me you’ll need 2 weeks to edit; & take over a month. If something does come up; please email me. I cannot stress this enough; especially if we are submitting to publications. [Often times the publication will have a submission deadline.]****

-A  few things you may  like to know-
*I do my best to check this page at least twice a week. So, if I don’t respond to you right away; please do not think I’m ignoring you, I will respond.
*I am not opposed to traveling, within reason. [Must be on weekends, I have a full time "day job" as well.]
*I do love shooting vintage- pin up style photos; however, I am very open to trying new concepts, themes, ect. I am greatly interested in working outdoors, with natural lighting; & at beautiful locations!!
*I usually bring someone with me to shoots. [If I don't already know you.] It's nothing personal, just a precaution.
*In the interest of being completely honest with all of you:: I have braces on my teeth. [It hasn't ever been a problem in the past; but if you're looking for a huge smile, I'm probably not your girl. I've always been much more of a sly smirk/ mysterious grin kinda' lady anyway.] I assure you, I am in my twenties, [I even have an ID to prove it!] ;]
*I take modeling seriously, but I like to have fun. Chances are I will crack jokes, & be silly. In my experience, if we can laugh together-we will shoot great pictures together!
*I am very fair skinned; it tends to happen when you're a natural redhead. ;] I will not tan for any shoots.
**Implieds:: please message me if you are interested in shooting implieds. It will depend upon what I think of the concept. DO NOT ask me to shoot implieds at a shoot, unless we have discussed it prior to the actual shoot.
*Nudes: I am not shooting nudes at this time.
