******************************THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING MY DREAMS COME TRUE!************************

Fact 1: "If you pose for a photo that you cannot show your family and friends, and be proud of it, it wasn't worth doing" - Karen, Class Act Talent

When I have the money, I pay the people I work with... so keep that in mind, modeling doesn't always come free!

I am no longer settling for anything but the best. I've always knew I had a strong interest in the photography/entertainment/art industry.... but never thought of excelling any talent I may have. I am hungry for success and years for years to come. As a professional, I expect respect and equality in every shoot. I love natural lighting and creative shots that are rare to capture. I am very passionate about what I do, and will usually have an escort or a friend come with me, so if this cannot both benefit both parties, then please don't waste my time.

Despite my "adulthood", I am all about safety and fun, innocent shots.

I am also an upcoming photographer with a background in high school sport journalism/journalism and photojournalism. I have shot for a baby shower, some event promotions, and sport journalism events within the past few years or so. My interest is action shots, commercial/product, portrait/yearbook, and sports. I have yet to buy professional camera equipment!

I have some experience with wardrobe styling as I have dressed about 5 people so far for special occasions and for photoshoots/events. I have taken apparel class in high school and plan to design some own retail items in the future.

I am semi-experienced in pose coaching, photo editing, and some makeup and some hair.

I can assure my rates are reasonable, but willing to do tfcd as long as I get pictures for my upcoming ports and will take various assignments.

I require all shoots to have a model release with the proper information unless we have an agreement. All interested inquiries, please contact me via this website, or my email address: literalthoughts@yahoo.com with the following information:

Concept and what:
Brief info about you as a photographer,etc. I like references!!
Time
Date
Location
Wardrobe
Anyone else to be on set: group shot, assistants on set, mua, stylist, etc.
Contact info
Compensation: TFCD/TFP/Paid/Free stuff :)/etc.

Fact 2: I am now very limited to TFCD because I am looking for paid and more important events to attend.

FACT 3: I LOVE DOING CHARITY EVENTS AND event hostessing.

FACT 4: I'm still an amateur in some aspects, but I will always give 100% especially if I bring some snacks along with me!

FACT 5: I can USUALLY do and provide my own hair, makeup, wardrobe if need be. Not to mention, if I need to assist you on set, let me know! I love muas and how you provide wardrobe sometimes because it's usually more creative than what I have in my closet atm. But I'm working on revamping my wardrobe and modeling bags this upcoming year!

I've been a model for about a year and a half now; started out in 2008 when I decided to build my portfolio for pageant submission. I deleted my former profile due to the fact that the iSHOOT team has helped me so much, I would like to pay for my membership lol! Also, my absence as of right now is due to taking care of my health and independence.

I am STILL seeking MAJOR improvement in my body, but overall I'm satisfied with the development of my portfolio and I hope you will be too! I am currently working on gaining some serious weight and muscle mass, so excuse my 'absence'!

GOAL:
9) Attend more workshops and classes in fields of modeling/makeup/photography, etc.

Availability: Seasonal and whenever it's convenient for both parties... but I'm not planning on anything just yet....

LASTly, I cannot begin to thank all the people who drove me while I couldn't. From the trade for meals, short talks about the industry, and fun times, I can honestly say that modeling has opened for me opportunities to live life with friendly faces and share moments that only some pictures and color can take away. Thank you to all the photographers, muas, and friends whom taken their time out of their schedules to make mine apart of theirs. God bless you all!
