With much enthusiasm, I would like to introduce NikkiMarie (https://www.modelmayhem.com/2317670). I met Nikki through Facebook after she commented on one of my photos. I saw she had cell phone pictures of herself and emailed her asking if she would like to model. She is a young mother of 3 daughters and a husband in the service. For a first time model, Nikki was outstanding in her professionalism. She was on time, eager to learn, took direction well and was a joy to photograph. Nikki has always wanted the opportunity to model and her natural beauty and talent shows in the photos. I hope you agree and vote NikkiMarie for Newbie model of the week. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Although her preference is nude work I have also managed to show Kat how she can excel at more mainstream modelling, her approach is always to listen, watch and learn from other models. She has never hesitated to achieve what the photographer is looking for and is developing quickly a strong professional approach to her work. Good luck to all, and thank you.

This young lady is just starting her modelling and I was immediately taken with her fun and adaptable approach to the shoot. We decided to go to a park closeby to where she lives and then on to the coast on a day when the weather was changeable to say the least. I do hope you vote for her it would give her such a boost in confidence. Many thanks.

Model: MM#2351018 Sylvia Westerly. Sylvia is a refreshingly mature woman and does not mind trying out different ideas. When she shot with me, she let herself be covered with slime. She acts out a role full of emotion beyond merely being a clothes hanger or a pretty self. It was fun working with her.

She has been on this site for a little while now but has had little exposure since moving to NC. I had entered her one time before and had a decent response. I found her to be a fantastic and open minded subject- who showed up early and never blinked an eye to shooting in the heat, torrential rain, or mud. Here's to giving her a warm welcome back into the modeling world! KAW.
