Thanks for checking out my profile! Let\'s get the basics out of the way first:

What genre the photo shoot falls into (editorial, commercial, artistic nude, etc.)
Location of the photo shoot
Duration of the photo shoot
Type of compensation offered (TFP/CD, TFWardrobe, Tearsheet, paid, etc)
If MUA/Hair/Stylists/Etc is provided or not (I don\'t mind doing my own, but I like to know ahead of time so if you need a certain \"look\" it can be worked on)
An idea of what dates you\'re looking to schedule a shoot on.

AVAILABILITY & WORK SOUGHT:
I am scheduling shoots for April & May 2008 forward, my current schedule allows me the flexibility to shoot weekdays as well as weekends.
Primarily interested in expanding my portfolio to cover a broader range of genres & styles as well as opportunities leading to print/publication/promotion.

TRAVELING:
If you\'re outside of the NOVA/DC/MD area, I will request that you cover my travel expenses unless I\'m already traveling to your area.

Still with me? Here\'s a brief bio:

Experienced model interested in collaborating with photographers on mutually beneficial photo shoots. I am always happy to shoot TFP/CD with select photographers.

Able to go from the \"classic beauty\" look to something edgier with ease. I truly enjoy being part of an artist\'s vision, take direction well and can also run with a concept if that\'s what is needed.

Comfortable with implied, semi and full nudity, NOT comfy with anything graphic or XXX in nature. Please keep in mind that a trade should be mutually beneficial, and I already have a very large amount of nude work in my portfolio - HOWEVER - I do accept TFP/CD offers from certain photographers and my rates are quite reasonable, so there\'s no harm in asking!

TATTOOS, PIERCINGS, ETC.
My hair is one solid color now, I have a nose & tongue piercing that can be removed at the photographer\'s request, and tattoos on my lower back, below my navel, upper right arm, back of my neck and a small band around my left ring finger. I have ZERO issues with a photographer choosing to retouch any of my tattoos into oblivion if they\'re so inclined. smile It\'s YOUR vision.
