First of all, please allow me to thank you for viewing my portfolio! I appreciate the time you are taking to look at my work and read over my information. It means a lot that you’re taking a few moments out of your day to check me out! LOL

I’d like for you to get to know me a little bit better: I am totally at home in front of the camera and I take direction well. I enjoy doing photography that is unique, expressive and striking. I am professional and courteous but can be a goofball as well – I can crack some decent jokes and have an extremely sarcastic sense of humor. I have been in this business a little over 3 years now and have enjoyed every minute of it. I worked in a photo studio for almost 6 years, so I understand what goes on behind the camera as well and try to make shoots as easy as possible, especially for photographers that are just starting out.

I am not participating in shoots for anything beyond Playboy-style nudes at this time. I am, however, looking for a male model to work with for a slightly more erotically-charged shoot – feel free to contact me for more information on that. It is not an “erotic” shoot, but I want it to have an erotic feel. It will require close contact between the model and myself, some nudity (not full-frontal), but no erotic material. It is a difficult project to explain – I can send examples to give a better idea.

I enjoy taking part in off-the-wall projects as well. Anything with animals is pretty much a guarantee – so long as I’m not going to get eaten or have my face ripped off! I'd love to do work for preventing cruelty to animals. I also love working with kids, as I am a mother of 4, so I would love to add some of that work to my portfolio as well.

I will consider TF requests on an individual basis, looking at the originality and distinctiveness of the shoot, my need for the type of image required, extraordinary photographers and opportunities produced from the shoot. Priority will always be given to paid shoots, but any TF shoot scheduled will be respected – I will not cancel it for a paid assignment. My goal is to make a reputable name for myself in the industry and I cannot do that if I am not respectful of others’ time.

My typical rates are as follows:
$50/hr for anything below lingerie/swimwear
$75/hr for lingerie/swimwear
$100/hr for nudes/implied nudes

I do bring along a laptop and transfer cable to every shoot. I have found that it expedites and eases the sharing of photos - no need to waste CDs/DVDs or postage mailing them out! I use CS4 to edit my photos - if you need help editing, let me know! I'm pretty decent, depending on what you need done. I am in no way trying to portray myself as an expert, but almost all the work displayed in my portfolio has been edited by me. I take a more “natural” approach to editing – no fake airbrushing or adding makeup that wasn’t there before. Some people do that and it looks amazing – I am not one of those people! LOL

If you are interested in working with me, please make available the following information in your initial correspondence:
1) Details of the shoot – subject matter, vision, etc.
2) Location of the shoot
3) Specifics – date, time, duration, etc.
4) Pay
5) Travel compensation
6) Information regarding MUA, hairstylist, wardrobe, etc.
7) How the photos will be used
8) Your contact information
9) Any additional information you feel is pertinent to the assignment

Once again, thanks for taking the time to look at my portfolio!
