Hello there! My name is Luminous and I am a multi-published model (12x) based in Newport News, Virginia. I am double majoring in Kinesiology and Psychology to pursue a career in the medical field. Alongside being a student, I have some experience with modeling in a variety of disciplines. Growing up I always enjoyed experimenting with fashion and dreamt of becoming a model. Modeling to me is a fun and adventurous hobby for me to bring out my inner creativity. Not only do I get to create art, but I also get to meet new faces and form beautiful bonds. I see modeling as a way to break out of my shell and to embrace my confidence. Diversity and inclusion is very important to me which is another reason why I want to be apart of the modeling community. I want the future youth to look up to me and know that if I can do it, then they can as well. I am always willing to try new things to learn while putting in 100% effort!
I've jumped in rivers and on train tracks for the art of photography. I am always interested in trying creative, new, and out of the box concepts!!

-I try to respond the same day of a received message on here but a faster response is guaranteed from Instagram!

-I am willing to travel depending on the project.

-Always willing to work with other models!

- NO TFP! (Any other form of compensation works)

-Rates are always negotiable.

-****Friendly Note: While I am almost always willing to work with anyone once, my modeling disciplines are for the most part set in stone! As we can see I do not do nudity or erotic modeling. So kindly, please stop asking me to do those types of shoots. Thank you!
