I am a visual artist currently based in Virginia. I'm currently working on a series of mixed media art collage fugitive artwork.

Before shifting to visual art, I was a full-time fashion and editorial photographer, I worked for many regional and national magazines, newspapers and web outlet, The Huffington Post, Southern Living Magazine, Charleston Magazine, Who What Wear to name a few.

My work is currently centered around use for mixed media figurative artwork. I only use the photographs within my artwork which are basically, abstract mixed media collage portraits.

All photography I take will be solely used for my artwork, therefore never published on its own. I'm happy to discuss giving models access to some images for portfolio/print if they may wish to have those images.

What it's like to work with me: I'm very open to working with models within their own comfort level as I can benefit from a verity of poses. Photos are at a minimum, beauty portraits from the shoulders up. Hair and makeup will be fairly simple if not natural so they can I use them in my artwork. Right now, I’d be looking to get poses from shoulders up, topless, implied and other poses from the waist up. I'm open to full body poses if models are open to them. I often bring breast pasties for models if they want to use them. I’m painfully professional so my number 1 goal is to have models, male or female, to have a good experience working with me. Models are welcome to bring chaperones.

All photos/portraits are shoots indoors in a studio setup. I either shoot in my home studio in the Staunton area or if I'm traveling, I'd set up a pop-up studio in a hotel room. For any shoots to take place at my home studio, I will always meet with models in person over coffee or something prior to scheduling a shoot for the same reasons models likely will want to vet me in person before working together as well. My studio is not open to the public so want to make sure I feel just as safe bringing you into my workspace as you do working with me.

Please ask any questions if you're interested in working together, send your preference for comp. For models I've sent a DM to about modeling for my art who are not interested, please politely decline vs never responding.

Look forward to working and collaborating!
