I'm currently studying funeral directing on top of writing articles for a vintage inspired website & magazine.If you're interested in working with me, please read my entire profile & view my port, before contacting me. I need to book in advance, so I can work it into my busy schedule!Thank You!

I'm Scots-Irish & French.My hair is dark brown with a lot of red in it.I really am as white as I appear in my photos.



Internationally Published -  Authentic Vintage Pinup Model Since 2003!

My specialty is lifestyle & "pinup" images circa 1930-1957. I lean more toward the Wartime years:1939-1945.I strive to be as historically accurate as possible by using
real vintage clothing,accessories,props,hairstyles & makeup styles that were used in the given year.I'm huge into history.I look this way everyday.It's by no means playing dress up for me.I require no direction! I've been modeling since 2000 and doing vintage,since 2003.I come fully prepared, 100% styled, with wardrobe changes ( accessories & shoes to match) in tow.



~**~Please note that I do not loan out or provide
my wardrobe,accessories,etc. to other models,stylists or photographers.However I do sell things in my vintage shop on Etsy! dracbat59.etsy.com
~**~ I also do not participate in shootouts.If you would like to hire me to model
for a shootout, then please contact me for my rates. ^_^

Wardrobe,Hair & Makeup in my photos,were provided by myself unless otherwise stated.I own a wide range of props as well.I do vintage hairstyles using the old
techniques in order to achieve accuracy as much as possible.I can do anywhere from casual to elegant as well as simple to intricate.Hairstyles need to be discussed ahead of time so that I can plan out anything that may require an overnight pincurl or wave set.

*********************************************


I now only accept a few trade shoots per year. Please contact me for availability.If we've worked together before, I'm always open to shooting again.If you're interested in my rates,please contact me!



Things to know:

* I'm not interested in recreating someone else's artwork from the past.I'd rather be inspired by it or create something along the lines of photographs you'd find in a
magazine, advertisement,catalogue or even a brochure from The Circus or an Ice Capade,from 1939-1945.

* My skin is too sensitive to the sun, to shoot outdoors unless it's overcast and in the shade.If it's Summer or Spring, it's best for me to shoot after 6pm.Otherwise,I break out in a rash, get migraines,nausea and sometimes nosebleeds.SPF only helps me to an extent, unfortunately.


** Due to one too many bad experiences with makeup & hair stylists, I no longer accept trade work for styling.If it's not 100% accurate,it clashes with the styling I've done for myself, leaving me with images I can't use.If you don't have historically accurate work shown in your portfolio,then please contact me for my rates.

*I do have tattoos.On the back of each calf muscle,down the side of my left rib cage, and my back.I prefer to keep them covered for shoots if it's meant to be era specific and correct.My arms,chest,neck,fronts & sides of my legs, are all clean of ink, so you wouldn't even know I had them unless I'm in a two piece or my back is exposed .
