Good morning everyone, I am pround to introduce you to the lovely Mrs Anastacia Swann.(http://www.modelmayhem.com/2827674) Anastacia is a pleasure to work with. This being only her second shoot, proves to me that she has talent. She needed no directions as she was a natural in front of the camera.

Thank you. I did post in the forum and have been awaiting a response.
Below is my submission for the week of January 30, 2013.
Model: MM#2555898 Susie.
Susie is a beautiful sweet model with a soft doll-ish look. She is versatile and needs only minimal instruction; she then goes off and pretty much poses on her own so that all I need to do is to click the shutter button.
Hello To the Top Drawer. I would like to resubmit Brittany
MM#2417460 Brittany.
Brit is always a pleasure to work with. She is a beautiful country girl who is always looking to better herself as a model.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Top Drawer it gives me great pleasure to introduce Katy as my entry in this weeks Contest. With Agency height, A Victoria's Secret figure and "can do" attitude she was a joy to work with. Just a few months into modeling she is making a name for herself in the SE Wisconsin body painting circles as an in demand model, and I expect great things from her.
I'm excited for you to meet 24-yr old Katie Higdon (www.modelmayhem.com/2911354) as my entry in this week's contest. Katie's only got a few shoots under her belt, but is a natural beauty in front of the camera. Although she's got a fresh, wholesome smile, she can definitely turn up the heat when shooting glamour and lingerie! Enjoy!
On behalf of Katie, thank you all for your continued support and consideration of Katie in this week's contest. Best regards,

Thank you for acceptance into theLIST! I look forward to working with everyone!
My first nominee is Miss Peyton Drew #2782079 (http://www.modelmayhem.com/2782079)! Not only is she beautiful, but she is a modeling natural. I feel extremely blessed to be able to work with her on a regular basis and watch her grow. She's only been modeling for a few months, but has become a photographer's favorite in the area due to her natural beauty, ability to take direction, and working well with others.
May I present Miss Emma Wehner (profile)
She is an absolute pleasure to work with. Emma has a charming personality that comes through in her images. She is excellent at taking direction, but comes prepared with some ideas of her own. I have only had a chance to shoot with her twice, but would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with her again. On our second shoot, I was blown away by her ability to interact with a model she had only met that day.

Hello members of the Top Drawer. Today I bring Rachel Wortham, for your viewing pleasure. http://www.modelmayhem.com/2879336. Rachel is "dynamite" small package with a big bang. A natural in front of the camera and very fun / out going attitude
I'd like to present Stephanie Thorpe #2163569 (http://www.modelmayhem.com/2163569/) for consideration of newbie model of the week. She's an absolute DELIGHT! She's willing and eager to learn and has been one of my favorite models with whom to work!
She says, "I have always admired modeling and have wanted to try it to see how far i could possibly go within the industry. Modeling has also been a saving grace for me because it has helped me find a new self confidence that i have never had before."
I have watched her blossom over the past couple of month. At our first shoot, she was quite and reserved and didn't speak to others. Now she's the life of each group photo shoot!
This week I would like to present Natalia m (profile 2800251. She is an incredible young model who can turn it on for the camera. She has a shy demeanour that just disappears when the shoot starts. An incredible beauty with a good sense for what makes an excellent image.

Members of the Top Drawer, I'd like to introduce Miss Karin Star (#2912420). Karin has grown . It's an EXTREME pleasure to work with a model who is artistic and enjoys collaborating with me on ideas!
From Karin: "I started modeling to do something artistic, something creative. To help others realize a vision and some of my own visions. Doing this and painting are my outlets."
Top drawer members, I am pleased to introduce Lisha H (MM#2953128)
A little shy but that's to be expected from her first professional photo shoot. A pleasure to direct and a joy to work with. At 5' 9" tall (plus 4" heels) stunning and statuesque with blue eyes that will capture the viewer every time.
For your consideration. (MUA: Bryana Doyscher MM#2651946 Photographer: Me MM#803760)
Thank you for accepting my application into the list.
Today I would like to present Drew Fouarge (MM #2886458) to you. He was encouraged to try modeling by friends in the industry, and his positive attitude and comfort in front of the camera are great assets. He takes direction well and can pull off difficult poses (he is also a professional stunt-man!).
She is 19 from Daytona Beach, FL and contacted me for a TF shoot to assist in building her portfolio. Below are the images I have selected for her submission. I would like to add that she is a pleasure to work with, and at the same time working with a first shoot MUA it ended up being a pleasant experience. She wanted a glamor model bathing suit and made the one outfit herself.
