FAQ
What styles of modeling do you shoot?
I shoot a lot of artsy and alt fashion shots. I'm shooting art nudes later this year. I do pretty and artsy much better than sexy.
What's your natural hair color? Will it be returning any time soon?
My hair is naturally black. I have no clue when I'll be going back to it. I have no real incentive to at the moment. It will go back to natural when I get cast in something that requires natural hair.
Are you really in college? At 17?
I actually started my freshman year at sixteen, and yes, I went to a public school. I'm no child prodigy, I'm just an over achiever. I'm taking almost all night classes, which means yes, you can book me during the day. I also do not have classes Friday-Sunday.
Will you shoot on location?
I really love on location shoots. I will also shoot in all climates; I've shot in melt-your-skin-off humidity in long sleeves on up to frolicking around in a miniskirt right after a snowstorm. I may be a bit crazy, but it tends to render some pretty awesome photographs.
Do you have any other body modifications other than your hair?
I have twelve piercings; two in my nose, one in my naval, three in my left ear, and six in my right. All can be taken out upon request. I have no tattoos at this time. Also, while these aren't intentional modifications, I do have several small fading scars across my chestplate and upper breasts from a pretty bad burn I received while welding. I can cover these up and have no problem with you photoshopping them out.
What are your rates?
It depends on your budget. I trade with people who can benefit my portfolio; otherwise I try to be as flexible and reasonable as I can with rates.
What do you accept as payment (other than money)?
Well, aside from trading for pictures I trade for:
Why not? I had it suggested to me by a shopkeeper in Richmond last year. I took her advice and have run with it. I'm rather fond of it now.
I'm a MUA/Stylist/Designer: will you collaborate with me?
Absolutely! I'm helpless with hair and makeup after a certain extent, and I love the chance to shoot with more extreme wardrobe.
I heard you don't wear makeup in daily life?
Nope. I think makeup is pretty in pictures and certainly has its place. However, when I'm not in front of a camera or on stage I'm out hiking, playing videogames or bsing with the guys; none of these activities call for makeup, and quite frankly I really like how I look without it, so I just choose to go without it.
You're shooting art nudes after your birthday?
With select photographers. I adore art nudes and it's definitely a genre I want to get into; however, I'm shooting with photographers I know well at first just to get a feel for the genre.
You know some circus acts, right?
I'm an amateur at best in comparison to some of the amazing circus performers out there. I've juggled since I was nine. I ride a unicycle and can do simple magic tricks that amaze kids. I'm learning corde lisse and aerial silks at the moment, and am learning pole dancing in the fall. I'm hoping to learn how to walk, run, and dance in stilts this year. Yes, we can incorporate this into a shoot and yes, I do trade for certain pieces of equipment: i.e. juggler's torches, weighted knives, aerial silks/rigging, poi, magic props, facepaint, stilts, etc. If you buy it for me you'll be the first person I shoot with using it. I also do kids parties.

Well, aside from trading for pictures I trade for:

- Steampunk wardrobe
- Paid travel

- Camera gear (both film and digital)
- Aerial silks/rigging
- Trapeze bar
- And basically other awesome things. Feel free to shoot me an idea. I like the strangest stuff.
