***HEY!  Please peep my profile before contacting me for shoots!  I have some simple terms, but I am going to ask you to agree to them before we book, and I don't want anyone to be surprised!***

I've been working with area artists for several years, from illustration and painting, sculpture, and photography, to bodypainting and performance art.  I'd like to take my portfolio in a more serious direction.  Feel free to message me if you're representing Ford.  Did I mention that I'm a climber chick in my free time, and quite acrobatic?

I always love meeting new shooters, but I am particularly interested in building connections with stylists, MUA's, publishers, scouts, other models, and film producers.  Let's do lunch.

PAID ASSIGNMENTS ONLY!!!  Please and thank you.  This is my job and I do it well.  I am here as an experienced lady, and I do expect to be compensated for my time.  I am no longer interested in TFCD/P arrangements, so if you are contacting me, please be prepared for that.  I'l be prompt and I'll be pretty.  Let's treat each other like professionals.

If I have sent you a friend request, it just means that I'm a fan.  No, I will not pay you to photograph me.

I check my messages daily, and respond to everyone.  No waiting around for me, I'm on the ball.  Please let me in on the following information when making an inquiry:

* Your name
* Date
* Location
* Type of shoot (casual, commercial, etc.) or concept
* What wardrobe, if any, will I need to bring?
* Anticipated length of sessions
* MUA, hair stylists and wardrobe?
* End client and use of images
* Compensation

I'm cool with signing model releases, but I wouldn't mind a copy sent in advance so as to not waste your time on set reviewing it.  I want to see copies of all images, would love promotion rights (online port, comp card usage, etc.)  I'm not looking to profit from images, just want to include them in my book.  I'm glad to post with a watermark and promote my shooters! 

THIS IS IMPORTANT:
**If it is our first time working together and you must cancel a shoot less than a week prior, please agree to pay 50% of my sitting fee.  If I turn others down to shoot with you and it doesn't happen, it's time lost for me that I can't make up on such short notice!**

I almost never bring an escort to the set.  I TRUST you.  And I know kung fu.  People are well aware of my whereabouts and your name, so I'll leave it at that.

I'm open to travel so long as my expenses are paid (airfare AND hotel...I won't be sleeping at your place, sorry!)

Model Mayhem is not a dating site.  Let's keep it professional.  We can still be friends.

Models!  I am more than happy to answer any questions about photographers I have worked with. Be safe! Get feedback! Be informed!  (They've all been swell, for the record.)

Clothing designers!  Wardrobe stylists!  I'm open to shooting for free super-unique clothing.  I love clothes.  Seriously.

I know this is a rather lengthy missive, but my requests are simple, and I swear, I'm very easy to work with.
