I am in my early twenties and I have always wanted to be a model and an actress. In the past few years I have started to build up my modeling portfolio. Many of my friends are photographers, and we helped each other get the shots we both needed. I really open up in front of the camera and everyone tells me "the camera just loves you!" So I want to take my modeling to the next step. I want to branch out and work with new photographers. I want to be challenged. And I want to bring something new to the table.

I have an interesting set of skills that can be incorporated into my modeling, if the photographer so chooses:

I juggle, spin fire, and walk on stilts. I'm a rock climber, kayaker and all around outdoorsy/athletic person. I am comfortable with swords (and have a small collection) and I am confident with just about any prop firearm you put in my hands. I have 5 pet snakes and a pet rat. If it's a weird skill you're looking for, just ask me. You never know.

On that note, I have been rock climbing over 13 years, I've been instructing climbing for over 7 years, and running my own climbing program for 3 years. I've discovered how easy it is to climb stuff in heels, and I've recently found that I love seeing a photographer's reaction to "Hey, can you get pictures of me while I climb that?" Door frames, window ledges, fire escapes, construction stuff, boulders, trees (though I would get dirty), etc. Seriously, it's too much fun not to. So if you are interested in this, please say so in a message. If I need to, I'll bring my climbing shoes. :)

Next, I have a lot of clothes... seriously. I can dress gothic, punk, elegant, professional, casual, cowgirl, Renaissance, etc. You name it, it's probably in my closet. I also have 4 sets of vampire fangs, and upwards of about a dozen fedoras, cowboy hats, cloches and other hats.

Believe it or not, I have no tattoos. And the only piercings I have are one in each earlobe. But do not doubt my ability to go goth or punk. It's leftover from my high school days and still some of my favorite looks.

I will be bringing an escort to all my shoots. Her name is Chelsea and she is a model here on MM (#1905879). If you are a photographer who has had bad experiences with escorts, you need not worry. She and I are both very professional. Her presence will make me feel more comfortable; and if I am less tense and more at ease, the pictures are going to look a lot better. Plus, you get the added bonus of having a second model at your disposal if you choose to take advantage of that. We work very well together.

Important: I take my modeling seriously and I certainly expect my photographer to take himself/herself, as well as me, seriously. I am extremely professional, I'm always early or on time, and you will NEVER see a diva emerge. I think photo shoots should be fun, lighthearted, and perhaps silly and a tad goofy. If we can't have fun, why do this at all? So while working with me you can expect a happy balance between fun and professional. And I always hope to see the same thing from my photogs. :)

The last thing I want to say is that I am modest. I have absolutely no interest in doing nude, implied nude, erotic, etc. I respect models who are comfortable doing this, but I simply am not. This does not mean I cannot be sensual. But understand that I am not willing to compromise on the amount of skin I show.

At this time, I am also not willing to shoot lingerie. However, I will do swimsuit and I will do pajamas. I am an actor trying to build my resume and my credibility. I don't care how "tame" you think the images would be. I don't want anything that can come back to bite me if/when I finally start to establish my name. I don't see this as something that hinders me from becoming a well rounded model; rather I see it as one more thing that has molded my style/look into something unique to me.

I'm very excited about learning how other photographers like to work. If you're in the Raleigh area, shoot me a message! I'm really fun to work with and easy to get along with!

*****************
I mentioned above that I am an actress as well as a model. If you have any film assignments/projects, I am always interested to hear details. I graduated from UNCW with a BA in Theatre. I have stage and screen experience. If you would like to see my resume, just send me a PM with your e-mail address and I would be glad to send it to you.
