Hello!

**ALL IMAGES ARE SUBJECT TO COPYRIGHT LAWS AND UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE ARE NOT TO BE COPIED/PRINTED/SAVED, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A CERTAIN IMAGE PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION. ACTION WILL BE TAKEN IF ANY PICTURES ARE FOUND BEING ILLEGALLY USED.**



PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING ME A MESSAGE; IF YOU ARE STILL INTERESTED IN WORKING TOGETHER AFTERWARDS, I LOOK FORWARD IN HEARING FROM YOU!

I am equally passionate performing in front of the camera as I am behind it. I started in this industry modeling, and I have now had the pleasure of taking the title of Event Coordinator as well... I have done several fashion shows, as well as music videos. I love this industry and take it very seriously. If you are only interested in taking 'pretty pictures of pretty girls' than I am most certainly not the person for you. I have put a lot of heart, time, miles, and tears into this and I wish to only work with people who have the same amount of passion and dedication as I do. With that being said, I have no problem helping out any new models or photgraphers that are just starting out in this business! Everyone needs a little help from time to time, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I ALWAYS give 110% My work is ongoing and still developing; however, I am open to endless ideas and always up for trying new methods and different techniques. I enjoy testing the waters of the unknown and am very flexible, but I always have the final say in what I am willing to do professionally as an artist. My work is and will always be tastefully done.

Please be a professional if contacting me about a job; I am only here for business and will only respond to those that are serious. I will do my due diligence regarding the legitimacy of all jobs. I will also request references from previous models who have worked with said photographer IF the photographer isn't a referral. Currently, I am looking to expand my portfolio and art direction extensively. I am not open to all TFP; however, I am willing to do TFP if it meets a specific concept/genre I need for my portfolio, a charity contribution, or an idea I find intriguing. I am always open to anything edgy, dysfunctional and artistically creative. I am specifically looking to collaborate with photographers, makeup artists and wardrobe stylists on the following genres:

-Body Paint
-Character
-Dance
-Edgy
-Grungy
-High Fashion Glamour
-Old Hollywood Glamour
-Props
-Subtly Sexy
-Vintage


PAYMENT - If the shoot/event is previously discussed as 'paid', I require payment in the form of money order or cash. I do not accept personal checks. Payment is to be made immediately following my services, unless we have made other arrangements. I apologize for these circumstances, but I do not tollerate bounced checks and have dealt with this in the past, as well as non-payment. I am willing to make exceptions on certain circumstances, but this will all be discussed PRIOR to the shoot/event.

Nude - Everyone has their own opinion on nudity, but I personally will NOT be doing anything nude. I am comfortable with SOME implied, but it depends on the circumstances. Not to disrespect anyone that shoots/performs nude, it's just not my area.

Escorts - I will always have an escort to accompany me to shoots/events. My escort is very professional and will stay out of the way and won't be of any harm. Not to question anyone's intentions, but these days you always need to take precautions. The escort will not be putting ANY input or opinions, and will have NO say so when it comes to the shoot. I can guarantee that my escort will be there for just that.

Feel free to message me here or you can also reach me at:

Thanks so much for your time, and I look forward to working with you!
