4 easy ways to contact me with a free account:

- Reply to my travel/availability notice just above (yes! Everyone gets at least 5 messages a day to reply to a casting call)
- Message me via IG
- Message me via FB
- Email me

I am only accepting paid work with an advanced booking fee. I am established with plenty of positive references. I often book up a month or more in advance.

I won't be updating my avatar, the rules change too frequently here. You can see my work by viewing my gallery or my IG.

Recently moved to the Los Angeles area! Please note that a good portion of my wardrobe was damaged or is missing from my move, so if you want something specific please ask first or please provide it.

When we have worked together I would be happy to accept your friend request :) Note: if we have only worked together in a group setting I can not verify you, if you would like to be added to my verified credits please contact me to schedule a one on one shoot.

Important: I am very sensitive to dry smoke (cigarette smoke, cigar smoke, etc), so if you smoke or allow smoking in or right around your studio I likely can not shoot there. Smoke machines are typically fine (especially the water based ones). If we are shooting outside this is a non - issue if you can be courteous.

Extra things of note:
-Pudge, my seal point ragdoll (hypoallergenic), is officially available for shoots. He will be traveling with me on most tours that I will be driving to (if you want to work with him though please make sure to ask if he will be with me). He is now 20lbs!
-I model solo, with other females, and with pets (I'm not afraid of snakes).
-I'm scuba certified
-I collect bikinis, aside from a variety from around the world, I have a large collection from Wicked Weasel.
-I have quite a few gowns, including a corset back princess wedding gown

If you are not ready to schedule, but want to keep in touch, Facebook, Instagram (I keep this the most updated), Tumblr, and Twitter are where I accept most friend requests.

The CLIFF NOTES of why you should hire me:

-I'm reliable
-I arrive OVER prepared (make up, hair needs, and more outfits than we will have time to shoot)
-All the photos in my port (unless otherwise specified) I handled my own hair and make up (even any updos that you see). I arrive with base makeup applied and do final touches of mascara and eyeliner on set to keep it fresh, this takes about 15-20 minutes, but you will be saving a ton of money on a MUA.
-I look like me! I come photo ready and require very little Photoshop if at all (many of my photos here are not retouched, see my unedited album)
-I bring ideas
-I have over 10 years of experience
-I freepose, but easily take direction too
-I do not smoke, do drugs, or excessively drink, plus I lead a fairly stress free life so no excessive lines and bags to cover up in post and I'm not going to show up high or hungover.
-I do not stare at my phone during shoots
-Bonus! If you have a tight studio I'm only 5'4 so I will fit with heels on and no one has to know :)
-I take my modeling professional and seriously, but I'm not a serious person, I'm quite outgoing

Phonetics: Take Athena and put a St before it, so "sta-THEE-na".

The FULL DETAILS (some of this may seem strict, I am very easygoing and sweet, but very professional):

I work well with brand new beginners up to well regarded professionals, but please leave your ego at the door, I treat all of my photographers equal and ask that you treat me the way you would like to be treated in return.

If you rock enough to read my port, I already like you, if you don't read ports, you won't see this anyhow. At minimum please read the highlighted parts that apply to you/your project.

MM Messaging/Email/FB messaging is the only way to book me. I keep everything in writing to avoid confusion. I have PLENTY of references below, so you will not receive my phone number until we have discussed all details in writing and the shoot is booked. My phone number is to be used for emergencies only (running late for the shoot, etc), not to chit chat. If you need to meet or Skype before we shoot please ask about my consultation fee.

I'm originally from the Philly area...rain, freezing rain, a little bit of snow...is not bad weather for me and I will drive in it no problem.

*BOOKING FEE* Unless we have previously worked together without issue I request a 25% booking fee through Google Pay or Giftrocket (possibly Venmo) to hold your slot (minimum $100) and to guarantee my lowest rate, the remaining balance can be paid at the shoot. Full day shoots are a minimum of 50% or $500, whichever is greater. If you do not wish to guarantee with a booking fee, I can pencil the shoot in without one, and if someone wishes to shoot during your slot and is willing to put one down I will contact you to reschedule (shoots with a booking fee, or guaranteed salary, take priority). My reputation is very important to me, please check my references, I do not cancel.

*FOR ALL LOCAL SHOOTS* I typically confirm 48-72 hours before all local shoots. I usually use email to confirm so that there is backup. Except for emergencies please do not call the day of, I will be getting ready to make sure I am punctual for the shoot. I must know ALL details for the shoot no less than 48 hours prior to the shoot. This includes gear I need to bring, location, start time, approximate end time, and payment.

*ALL TRAVELING SHOOTS THAT I DRIVE TO* I typically confirm 24-72 or so hours before I leave for the area. If you cancel 15+ days before I leave for your area I will refund your fee. Without booking fees I reserve the right to cancel the trip or book another interested party with a booking fee over your slot. I will let you know if this happens with as much notice as possible.

*IF YOU MISS EVERYTHING ELSE, PLEASE READ THIS! CANCELATION POLICY*

*100% - If you cancel the day of (24 hrs or less) or are a No Call, No Show (NCNS)
*50% or $100 (whichever is greater) - 7 days or less before I LEAVE for your tour (I.E. if we are shooting Thurs, but I am leaving Mon it will go by Mon), while I am in the middle of traveling for our shoot, or locally. Once I start a tour it can be difficult to replace a shoot.
*25% or $75 (whichever is greater) - 8 - 14 days before I LEAVE for a traveling shoot (this means if I am leaving Sun for your area and our shoot is Thurs you must cancel 15 days or more before the Sun I'm leaving).

Rescheduling is considered the same as canceling. I DO NOT cancel. Aside from the fact that this helps pay my bills, I also realize that you are planning around me, so I will not cancel and ask that you do not either. If I do cancel with less than 48 hours notice, unless I have a documented reason (police report, death notice, or hospital/doctor's note...these apply as proper cancellations for you as well to avoid paying my cancellation fees) I will pay any kill fees to cover a studio, rented equipment, etc (the documented reason usually serves as a cancellation at a studio and other places without having to pay a fee as well). But don't hold out hope for a cancellation, in 14 years I have never canceled a paid shoot.

*Where I go* I do drive and can travel up to 4 hours round trip for a shoot in a day. I also have my passport if needed.

Shoots that I need to fly to will be discussed as plane tickets will be bought well in advance.

I sometimes change my location to match where I'm going to be next, but I live in the LA area.

*OUTDOOR SHOOTS* Not a deal-breaker, but I prefer you to have permission or a permit for the location for me to shoot with you there (whether we are shooting clothed or nude). If not, it is best for the location to have a single access point (not out in the open, unless I am clothed) and my escort will remain at the entrance to the area as a lookout (or you may hire a lookout). I will leave my phone on so that in case someone heads down that trail I have time to put a dress on. Some areas are very strict about shooting in public places, even when you are clothed, and I can NOT risk getting fined or worse having something on my record. Even when there are no signs posted (like there are supposed to be) you are still dealing with the authorities who are not always nice in these situations. The area must be scouted out in advance and be BITING BUG FREE. I shouldn't even have to say this but I can't tell you how many locations photographers have picked out that were riddled with mosquitos or other biting bugs. Not only is this extremely uncomfortable to me (and dangerous if they're carrying a disease), but extremely inconsiderate to any shoots I have after yours. For the right location I can handle somewhat extreme temperatures in short spurts.

*PAYMENT* I accept cash, Google Pay, Giftrocket, and sometimes Venmo, Paypal, Credit Cards, and checks. If you choose to pay by credit card or any method that charges a fee I will ask that you cover that fee. I collaborate on every shoot, when requested, but I am no longer accepting trade.

*RATES*

Lingerie/Swimwear/Art & Glamour nudes (non leg spread): $375/3 hours, $450/4 hours, $900/8 hours/full day

My shoot minimum if you are within an hour from me, or I am traveling through your area already, is 3 hours. If you are further away my shoot minimum is usually a total of my round trip travel time. I am sorry but unless you can match my standard photography modeling rates I do not hold poses for artists anymore.

All releases must include that only the name Stathena will be used. Everything in writing.

*ABOUT ME AS A MODEL* I shave my underarms, lower legs & bikini line (I am currently sporting a thick landing strip). I only trim my pubes, instead of completely shaving. Upon request (and proper compensation for lost work) I can completely grow out. The rest of my body hair is blonde & does not appear in photos so I will not shave it. If you couldn't tell from my nudes, I am tattoo, piercing (except one standard in each earlobe), and modification free. I do however get minor blemishes that are easily covered up with make up or photoshopped out in seconds.

*WHAT I DO* Modeling primarily with lingerie, bikini, art & glamour nudes since July 2008. For nudes, I work with Bodyscapes, parts modeling, partial nudes (topless, etc), Glamour, Artistic, and mild glamour/elegant Erotic. Leg spreads if artistically done are usually ok (this also depends on the quality of your work, I do not shoot erotic with just anyone), pink spreads are not in my comfort zone (I have pubes for a reason). As much as I love the look of Bodypaint, I am usually allergic to the ingredients, so if you are interested in using me for this I need you to send either the brand name you are using or the ingredient list. I shouldn't have to say this but touching me during a shoot without permission is NOT ok...moving a strand of hair, fixing a piece of fabric is normally fine, but please ask....putting your hand on my thigh while you take a picture of my privates is NOT! I am interested in corset, leather, and fashion fetish. I am not shooting other fetishes like bondage, etc.

For those who do not know:
e·rot·ic/iˈrätik/
Adjective:
Of, relating to, or tending to arouse sexual desire or excitement
Arouse
Verb:
Evoke or awaken (a feeling, emotion, or response)
Excite or provoke (someone) to anger or strong emotions

Id Est (that is): I will not have sex with you or anyone/thing else on camera. I will however look to arouse a sexual response from the end viewer. I appreciate all the emails I get that I would be great for masturbation or sex videos/pictures, but it just isn't what I am comfortable with.

Girl/Girl art/sexy/erotic is fine with me (I have worked with it before & actually prefer it to solo erotic), but I am sorry I will not work with most males (this should go without saying if you read the top). I will work with animals on artistic and glamour nudes (fuzzy and scaly...I happen to love ball pythons). I do NOT shoot pornography (for me this includes toys, masturbation, foot/hand jobs, and anything else where myself or someone else is getting aroused on set), smoking, drugs, guns (hunting rifles, futuristic, and cosplay styles are all totally fine)...or anything that portrays these. I do understand the need for these, but I am not interested in modeling for it.

I bring plenty of ideas. Though due to past photographers stealing ideas I will only give you a small portion of my full idea, the rest will come out at the shoot. I often bring ideas specific to a photographer's style.

*I come prepared* I bring props, sheer fabrics, etc even to nude shoots. Just because I am nude does not mean the photo has to be too. I am happy to use your wardrobe too, but I will supply my own shoes and panties unless yours are brand new with tags still on. If even your outer wardrobe, like dresses and shirts, are not washed after each shoot I prefer to keep to my wardrobe.

*I have Costumes to liven up the shoot!* Emma Frost (White Queen version), I Dream of Jeannie, Princess Leia Slave girl, Playboy Bunny, Sexy secretary, Supergirl, Emma Frost, Madonna "like a virgin", Fluttershy cosplay, Purple Belly Dancer, Saloon Girl, Sexy Nurse, Sailor Bikini, Short Geisha Robe, Sexy Green Elf, Santa Lingerie in pink and red, Indiana Joannie (sexy female Indiana Jones), sexy train conductor (yup I said it lol), Medieval Dress, Civil War settler dress (think Little House on the Prairie), Authentic Sari, Authentic Kimono Robe...not to mention a giant wardrobe to mix & match & create many other costumes. If you want me to bring specific items please let me know, my wardrobe is far too large to bring everything.

I have a dance background (if you couldn't tell from my photos) - Irish Step, Basic Ballet, Very basic Jazz, Self taught pointe. Pointe photos require a minimum of 4 weeks training/notice if you would like them. I have plenty of outfits to go with these, but no professional tutus as I did not do recitals/shows & my training was very minor. I do have leotards, tights, a small white tutu, and a small black tutu. I have 10 years of competitive figure skating under my belt as well. Please remember I no longer train so I will happily hold poses, but can not leap or do anything that may put me in danger. I do have professional figure skating dresses.

As for hair and make up I have professional products and can usually manage these on my own unless you are looking for something very unique and specific, in which case I just ask that your stylist/artist use my products to avoid allergic reactions.

*Escort* As a fair heads up, someone drives me to ALL shoots! They do not sit in on the shoot, they help carry my bags, introduce themselves, make sure everything is ok, get a rough estimate of when we will be done, & find a local Starbucks/coffee house to wait at during the actual shooting. If you are not ok with someone knowing where I am then I am sorry but I am not ok working with you. This is also how I am able to travel further for one day shoots and travel for a week to areas, they also serve as my ride in these instances so I can arrive fully rested and at my best. Yes, I can drive, but it is very stressful for me. My escort(s) is/are drama free, please feel free to ask past photographers for references. Do not assume my escort is male, my mom has and does escort me often.

And for those who ask, my little personal bio. I grew up as an only child with a single mom who took a LOT of photography courses, so I was her favorite subject for many years (and still am). My grandfather, (who I was incredibly close with), was a professional photographer for 16 years when my mom was a little girl. He is a large inspiration of my modeling, he always wanted to see me in a magazine like Playboy or Maxim.

When I first got into modeling my goals were to be a Magician's Assistant, which I did for about a year. I was a true assistant and had to learn how illusions functioned in their entirety. Unfortunately my magician was the best at making my money disappear. I have achieved a lot of the goals that I set out to do with my modeling, including being a part of photos that have won awards across the globe.
