Check out my blog for newest images (updated weekly), more images per set, general musings and the stories behind the visuals. It's the best place to keep up with my latest shots.

Add me on my facebook page for fun, news and updates!

Comments, tags, listing and friend requests are always appreciated (I accept all friend requests; I've never really known what they're for!) but if you'd actually like to work together, please do make it clear with a personal message, otherwise I probably won't get the hint amidst the mayhem. Thank you!

I AM...
- Represented by commercial agencies, experienced in artistic nude, happy and effective in a range of styles
- Dance trained (see section below)
- Full of passion for creating excellent images
- Absolutely reliable
- 5'7, UK size 10 with a unique and natural (but versatile) look: wild hair (naturally curly), 'English Rose' skin (pale and blemish-free) & blue-green eyes.
- Toned, flexible and slim with feminine curves.
- Confident enough to deliver as well as thriving on new ideas and experiments

I am able to do my make up to a high standard (most of what you'll see is done by me); if you want bold/daring/striking looks, I can recommend a make up artist. My wardrobe is vast and eclectic. I can provide lots of things in different styles, including bridal. I have a habit of bringing too much, so you will be spoilt for choice.

I don't accept/include images for my portfolio in which my body shape has been 'liquified'/altered. (Yes, I might look incredible nipped/tucked/inflated... But I'd rather be credible.)

I am proud to frequently receive repeat bookings from artists/photographers. Click here for a few testimonials.

I am forever being told the fact that I'm 25 years old is surprising; apparently I look anything from 19-22.

DANCE (A life-long passion; I have trained in many of the following since the age of 3)
- Oriental/Middle Eastern (Arabian, Turkish, Egyptian, Tribal & Fusion)
(See an unplanned solo here and an informal video here. I come on stage after the sword lady; solo at the end!)
- Hip-Hop, Street, Jazz, Tap and Character - exams taken to a high/professional standard. Many university performances
- Ballet & Contemporary - exams taken to high standard. I can pose en pointe. (No longer training regularly in ballet)
- Salsa (performed for demonstrations regularly whilst at university)
- Flamenco, Bollywood, Gypsy Dance, Tango - some experience
- Garifuna/Punta (aka 'bootyshake') - taught by locals in Caribbean Central America! ;-)

WHAT I DO....
I like to help create the best images I possibly can.
Genres: artistic nude, hair (my hair is long, curly and voluminous; holds styles very well!) dance, fashion, commercial, bridal, beauty, portraits.
Styles: Classical, pre-Raphaelite, sensual (emotion, innocence, truth and classy glamour), primal, theatrical, weird and wonderful, seductive, dreamy, strong, soft, abstract, happy, stark, heartbroken; the strange and the beautiful.

QUICK BIO
I'm a full time model and writer (please see my website for a general resume). I modelled exclusively for an internationally-renowned painter for a year, experimented with photographic modelling and some local catwalk shows and haven't looked back since. My interests include: Literature/poetry, music, travel, dance, philosophy, languages, theories, dance, concepts, myths and theology, stories, music, mojitos, yoga, dreams, psychology.

PAYMENT (The obligatory polite notice, to ward against confusion...)
Images are a wonderful bonus and I am hugely thankful for the photographers who have kindly and generously supplied me with my portfolio pictures. I do not work for images in lieu of payment, though, unless you are part of a team able to produce exceptional, agency-quality imagery for my commercial book (beauty, fashion and commercial/lifestyle only). My rates reflect my time, commitment and skills, and are fair and reasonable - just ask!

Have a nice day!
