PUBLISHED MODEL

Ok, lets get one thing straight, I definitely do not have the grace or etiquette to be your typical ”model”. My shoots include sarcasm, making silly faces, swearing like a sailor, and dirty, inappropriate remarks; basically, just being a complete jackass rather than posing and shooting. Kudos to the photographers that have been able to make something of the pictures. That's a testament of how skilled they truly are.
I was born and raised in beautiful British Columbia, Canada, and still live in my hometown. I am a mother of two wonderful children and am a personal trainer, hairdresser, and an administrator. It keeps me on my toes to say the least.
Modelling all started as fun. I really do enjoy being in front of the camera and being able to show off the amazing ink I’ve collected over the years. But I didn’t step in front of a professional camera until I was 30 years old, and had my first shoot for photographer Pauline Davidson, with Davidson Photography. After that, I had caught the interest of a few other local photographers and its continued from there. Sean Kennedy with Moments Under Frame Photography, Douglas Drouin with Douglas Drouin Photography and James Findlay with Caliber Media are more of the talented photographers found in the Okanagan.
During this time, I've also had the honour of working with the clothing brands Knuckle Crew Clothing, and Orxginal Vxillains.

I got my first tattoo on my 19th birthday, and I've never stopped (sorry mom and dad). I don’t necessarily have a meaning behind each tattoo, but they all come with a great story. I've used a few artists over the years, but Derrick Bee has been my sole artist for 4 years now. He is currently with Psychocity Tattoo and Apparel out of Kamloops, BC. Derrick is an amazing, phenomenally talented artist and a dear friend. Another great artist that needs mention, is my friend Will Grierson with Five Diamonds in Kelowna, BC. Make sure to check them out on social media when you have a chance.

For now I'll continue to do this as a hobby and enjoy the dynamic and creative photo shoots that I have the pleasure of being a part of. I'm at a point in my life where I am happy with who I am, how I look, and I embrace this exciting opportunity to share it with everyone.
A few of my other hobbies include running, hiking, photography, getting tattooed, and going on adventures with my kids. My goals for the future are to travel more, and to cross off one thing from my bucket list each year.
