upcoming travel:
AZ shootout: october 16 - 19
i am an all natural, professional model located in Chicago. i specialize in fine art and fashion, but am also experienced in other genres including glamour, runway, commercial print, and lingerie. i am agency represented, on a non-exclusive basis.
I am not a mannequin, and I am not a clothes hanger. I am a human and an artist, and am at my best moving fluidly and being me. My favorite part of what I do is connecting with the photographer and creating something beautiful and personal. I am at my worst being treated as an object or a prop in someone else's vision.
I have many solid references, and my rates are usual. i always respond to e-mails that are written professionally, so please feel free to e-mail me.
I am a reliable model and I show up where I say I will be prepared to work...I expect the same respect and consideration from the people I work with. Photographers that i have worked with can assent to the fact that i am an easy going model with a great work ethic. i am not a diva, and am a self proclaimed photogenic dork.
I am emotive, and devote more to shoots than a face and body. I am energetic and dedicated to producing quality images. I love modeling, I see it as a form of expressing myself, and try to make photo shoots fun as well as productive. I have been actively modeling for 11 years. My resume, print portfolio, and composite card are available upon request. i am great at posing myself, but am also always open to your direction. i arrive to all shoots with a positive attitude, eager to please and create art with everyone I work with. I am also a very real person, down to earth and easy to get along with. I sit on the floor, I do my own nails, and have never owned anything Loius Vuitton...nor does such waste and excess appeal to me. I am without pretense and treat everyone as an equal. i drink a ton of water. 10 points if you have a dog. 15 if it is a large breed.
I am a photographer as well, which helps me as a model because I know what it is like to be on the other side of the lens. I know which poses work, and I am very good at understanding and adding to the mood that you wish to create. I come to shoots with many ideas, and an understanding of lighting, lenses, etc.
i do no pornography and no bondage so please do not bother asking...your e-mail will be ignored. As per glamour and artistic nudity...I am completely open and comfortable in my body, and I love modeling nude.
I have experience posing live for artists and sculptors as well.
i have worked with a ton of people..i keep a complete list, as well as a zillion more images at
