So you've stumbled across my port and you're wonderin' who is this old chick? lol Well...I started modeling on the runway over 14 years ago. Since then I have done freeze modeling, hair shows, trade shows, bridal shows and basically everything under the sun modeling-wise, except print. After a few years off raising my daughter, I have decided to get back into the game. Recently, I have started to slowly build my portfolio so I can start into print work. My outgoing personality shows through on photographs and everyone seems to enjoy working with me. I am very reliable and I follow direction very well.
Modeling, unfortunately, is just a part-time hobby for me. I am a full time student and single mom so my schedule is pretty crazy. Currently I am only accepting limited TFP work--although there are always exceptions. If your work is professional and unique, you already have a location or studio picked out and most important-some sort of concept in mind. As a general courtesy I have some sort of idea in mind before I approach someone for a TFP shoot--I just ask for the same courtesy

*Personally I would like to add Pin-up, Vintage, Lingerie, Burlesque, Artistic, Horror or anything just plain weird to my portfolio. I'm not really the sandy beach bathing suit type....Also I have NOTHING group wise--I'd love to have some company in photos! Gals or guys...
***NUDITY POLICY- Many have asked, and some have assumed, but...I will not shoot nudes for free, sorry

My rate is $75/hr (for artistic/implied nudes, other scenerios are negotiable). Also NO public nudity--studio only!! I know I have a few nudes on my port, it's to show diversity and body shape only. I will not do nudity or partial nudity on a TFP shoot--implied nudity is a maybe with the right person, but if I check at your port and it looks like a porn site-no.
**Please note: my hair length and color changes often and dramatically lol...I do take special requests though and I'm comfortable working with extensions/wigs.
***I do have six tattoos and two facial piercings...
****Typically the first time shooting with new photographer I will bring an escort just for safety
****9/26/08--TFP update. I am doing only 2 TFP shoots a month now. Your work must be outstanding and you must have some sort of concept in mind. I will help idea-wise pull it all together, but I will not do all the creative work. Local work only. If you want me to travel, you must cover the expense. Thanks everyone!
**PAID SHOOTS are a whole different ballgame...I do require a deposit to hold the date (at least 2 wks prior), which is non refundable if cancelled w/o rescheduling w/i a reasonable time period. I will accept money orders (Western Union or Money Gram only) or a check from a local bank where I can go to and verify funds immediately. NO CASHERS CHECKS, especially from Nigeria lol! Also if I am required to provide wardrobe on a paid shoot and I do not have the item in my closet, that cost must be covered as well. I'm a bargain shopper so don't worry

Of course travel expenses must be covered and if I must do my own makeup I charge a small fee for using my product (hey, it's good $h!t). Hairstyling I will not charge. If a wig or addional hair is required that cost must be covered as well :d
Runway:
'96-Express, Fashion Bug, Dots, Sears, LuAnne's Bridal.
'98-2000-Geisha, Venus & Mars, Shanghai, Guitterez, Shine Salon.
2001- Versace, Shanghai.
Photographers from MM that I've worked with:
John Sluder #23617- A true pro! Very creative and polite.
Greg Coleman #708726- Lots of fun to work with

Sweet demeanor and great eye!
Pro Photog "Vincent" #8295- creative mind, very easy going and comfortable to work with. Uber organized so you must be too!---fun to shoot with!
T.C. #470627- Makes photography look easy! Friendly and easy to work with. Good chemistry...
John White #331729- perfectionist is a good way...incredible with lighting--looking to explore more of the edgy looks
Max Ba #580203- Great studio and very comfortable to work with.
...and I recommend them all!
Models I've worked with:
Justo Jr #466420-very enthusastic, reliable and follows direction no questions asked
Original Candi Cupcake #758414- very friendly and easy to work with--bubbly personality and a friend of color
Amanda Kelly B #743200- natual beauty...follows direction very well--little shy at fist but with a little direction she's top notch!
MUA's I've worked with:
Makeup by Melissa (no MM yet)-very friendly, bit shy but she loves colors and is very good with sparkles/glitter. She's a natural for sure!
**and I was scheduled to do special fx horror shoot with Miss Andie #567688: she was a no call/no show.
*****I DO LOVE COMMENTS!!! But also check out the others involved in my shoots (if they have MM links, most do) go and show them some love too

It's all networking and we all know how much work goes into a fabulous photo, everyone should get some comments

We ALL happily return any comments left

Thanks for your well wishes. I wish I could handle ice cream right now but I am on a low-fat diet unfortunately until 2 weeks after surgery or maybe more. Nice port - we should do something once I am back behind the camera.
