About Me

I am an extremely versatile photographer, always looking to grow and challenge myself.

I have a BFA from The University of North Texas, where I concentrated in drawing and painting. Because of my training I have a unique perspective and understanding of color and design.

I was recently named one of the top five wedding photographers in San Antonio, though I accept few wedding assignments per year.

I occasionally do my own casting for commercial assignments and I am here to facilitate that process. Working with great models makes my job a lot easier. I enjoy fashion and creative photography a lot. Anything that stretches my creative and technical chops is good news to me. If you have any fun ideas, I'd love to hear them. I very rarely do any kind of work for free, but if you've got a truly unique idea, share it with me and we'll see where it goes.

My style varies completely with each client. I feel confident that I can create any style that is asked of me. I enjoy a good challenge.

Hey, did you get my message?
I’m a full time international model with 10+ years experience coming to your area October 2nd - 5th or 6th before heading to Dallas. I’d love to know if you would like to work with me while I am here or if you know anyone who might. This may be the only chance to shoot me in your area. Do you have recommendations on how else to get more work or who to reach out to?
I have more details in my profile but here is a bit ABOUT me; As a full time model, I am highly committed, passionate, reliable, open to working with artists of any level of experience & am very experienced in a wide variety of expressive poses. I’ve worked throughout AUS, NZ, UK, EU, Hawaii, India, Singapore, Malaysia & Philippines with plans to travel through other parts of the world. My many years of experience in the industry with a range of creatives from around the world have earned me features in multiple magazines, art galleries & exhibitions in a variety of countries. I’m open to modelling with other male or female models (locals or traveling) in the studio as well as on location in various conditions & throughout a broad range of styles from portraits, fashion, pinup, editorial, beauty, lifestyle, swimwear, lingerie, sheer, topless, boudoir, implied, through to art nude. I can do glamour as well as suggestive & slight fetish/erotica but I don’t do open leg or porn. My extra talents; I’m a musician, I know how to free dive which is good for underwater shots, can horse ride, go on long hikes & also can crack a stock whip, I practice yoga, & have done basic pole & aerial hoop/silks.
INSTA; @layal.official (non nudes) @aim.model (nude) @aim.backup.model1 (back up nude)
My RATES; for up to art nude $150 per hour for 2hrs or more or $550 for 4hrs or $1000 a day. This covers costs including my meals/drinks, public transportation, outfits I can bring, my own make up & other things to help me be the best I can for you. Surcharges; for 1hr only, light fetish & extra shooters. I do understand people have budgets so I can offer pay off methods where you pay the rate over an agreed time. If Instagram or WhatsApp or even email is better than discussing here, please send me your contact details.
Thank you in advance for respecting me. Hope to hear from you soon, keen to see what we can do together, all the best & kindest regards.
