Namaste!

Artist...Explorer...Truth Seeker...Healer...Yogi...Friend....and soon to be Mama!

Yes, I am just about 7 1/2 months pregnant and have not been modeling through the pregnancy.  I was much too sick in the beginning to be able to work.  Now that I am feeling better I am open to minimal shoots but I request that photographers have a clear vision of what they hope to achieve.  My focus is shifting considerably and I am no longer prepared to spend a lot of time developing themes.  I am also moving to Ecuador with my husband and child next year around May (2 months after the baby is born).  This leaves little time left in the states to shoot so most likely if we work together you will have to anticipate a baby belly!

**My portfolio could use some updated photos.  I'm looking for some high fashion, steampunk, bohemian, vintage...yoga wear catalog, dance wear catalog...fine art...sitting for painters, sculptors, etc. If you share my interest, email me and let's shoot it!**

If you can capture my essence and show the world a glimpse into my soul then I would love for you to photograph me, I'd love you even more if you'd like to draw, paint, or sculpt me.  I pose nude to portray the female form/feminine energy in a powerful, beautiful, positive light.  Please share this mindset if you intend to work with me.

I have found that my favorite work has resulted from a true connection between myself and the other artist.  I know why I pose nude, do you know why you shoot nudes?  Please be willing to talk with me and get to know me.  Likewise, I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

If you'd like to work with me with clothes on, I can do that too.  While traveling I will not have access to the majority of my clothing so please keep that in mind.  At present I have shoulder length hair that has various shades of blonde and brown as I grow my natural hair back in.  I have a number of tattoos and I have my nose pierced.  I will take my nose ring out if you wish; editing out tattoos would be your job if you wish for them to not exist, as I don't see any reason to try to cover them.

I am traveling at the moment!  This trip is for me and my own growth however I will be posing as the opportunities present themselves.  My locations and tentative travel schedule are below:

Currently in Bellingham, Washington...I also have moved quite a bit of my best clothing up here which includes some vintage stuff...my style is mainly bohemian, belly dancer, yoga-esque stuff
Hawaii - tentatively mid August or September
Southern and Northern California
Portland, OR

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit me.  I look forward to creating art with you!
