In addition to modeling (MM 676267 and 831359), I have also fallen in love with photo editing, and photo shoot production/styling.  I have only found this industry and made it my own within the last two years, and I just can't seem to get enough.  Being in my 30's already gives me a different perspective on my career than if I had started modeling at seventeen.  This is not a hobby for me, it is a portion of what my current dreams and long term goals are built on. 



1.) Photographers - like my work?  Everything is negotiable when everyone finds something they want.  Even if you have a "signature style," it could be in your best interest to give me certain requirements to be used with my artistic style, and free up your time to make more money.  (Reputable photographer references available)
2.) Models - like my work but hate your budget?  As a model myself, I always need new wardrobe, so there is trade potential there also.
3.) Refer a client, and I will thank you with one Portfolio Image.
4.) Rates and details at the bottom of the page



My goal is to use every trick at my disposal to make your photo look beyond fabulous, whether in a natural way or in that yummy over the top way.  I work on all genres, perform complex repairs and create composites.

If you want to be as natural looking as possible while removing the little imperfections, that's what I'll do.  Smoothed out skin has its place, but not on every photo, especially your already gorgeous head shot.  A "simple" photo does not always look so simple without a couple of hours of post production.  (More on the Natural Look to follow.)

Glamour it up!  I treat this as ART, not just a necessity of photography.  One of my passions is the love of fine details, and the transformation of something with "potential" into something beautiful that you will love.  I love those projects where your eye has fallen out and you need a new one (ok, not really)!  Hate your background?  I'll hate it with you until we find the right one.  Body sculpting in general?  HUGE fan of it.  Do you have an element from one photo that you would like to transplant into another photo?  If it is possible, I'll get it done.

I will always give your image the kind of attention I would give one of my own personal photos -- and you know I don't let one those leave my hard drive until it's as close to perfect as possible.  You will never get an image back from me with an area on it that is just "good enough."  I want your the final product to be a show stopper, and I want you to love looking at yourself after the work I've done for you.

With all that said, we have to come back to the natural look.  If your bikini shot is for your portfolio PAGE ONE, I need to know that so I can make you look like the best you possible without misrepresenting what your client is paying for.  (I may send you two versions for the fun of it, but I'll make sure you have what you need to represent yourself professionally.)





This composite uses a few images from a calendar I currently have in production.




I snapped this photo at a wedding where I was assisting the photographer.  Notice how the bride is trying to get that bottle hidden?  But I was faster than her!  Rather than show her real face, I have done a complete head transplant.  The hair with the nicely defined lines?  Mine.  I keep spare parts for emergencies.




I accept payments through PayPal.  If you're not familiar with it, don't worry -- it's a piece of cake.
You won't need to worry about being billed for hours beyond my estimate.  We will thoroughly discuss your ideas so I can give you a good estimate of the time required.  Any perceived changes (that are not my own fault) will be presented to you immediately so we can decide how to proceed.

First time clients (large projects) will be required to pay a REFUNDABLE deposit for the cost of their first image - in return, I will guarantee satisfaction with the option of a refund or my time to make the image suit your style and taste.  I want our first project to be a collaboration that makes you want to come back to the person who understands the nuances of how you want to represent yourself. 

If we establish a solid relationship with a steady work flow, I will gladly work up adjusted rates and make sure I have current notes regarding your general specs and the little details that make your images uniquely yours.  We all have our own quirky likes and dislikes.

When an image is complete, I will send you a watermarked copy for your approval.  If our work is conceptual, I may send more than one version.  We can negotiate a deep discount if you want more than one of the styles I have already created.  I refuse to be one of your associates who is always stingy about the work.

Your completed file will be transferred to you as soon as payment is received.
