On May 19 from 1P to 5P I will be hosting "Pose Like A Pro" at 500 West Cermak in Chicago, IL. Mark Niemi has invited me to teach this class to models in his studio and we've worked out a super special low rate of just $60 per person attending. This is a great workshop for new mod .....
I'm hosting a clothing and accessories swap on Sunday, May 6. It's a great opportunity for models to add to their shoot wardrobe (as well as rid themselves of pieces they no longer need), and for photographers to add to their prop collections (or in-studio wardrobes). All of the details can be fou .....
Recently I was put in a really crappy situation, and figured I'd share my experience (and what I learned from it) in an effort to help others learn as well. And to show that sometimes, standing up for yourself can be a good thing.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
If you're interested in working with me, please read my profile before sending me a message. I do not respond to tags, lists or picture comments that express interest in working with me, and will only set up shoots via PM.
I will be back in front of the camera starting in January. Paid work and tear sheets take priority.
WORKING TOGETHER:
If you're interested in working with me, please read my profile before sending me a message. I do not respond to tags, lists or picture comments that express interest in working with me, and will only set up shoots via PM.
Paid work & tear sheets take priority. Trade/barter negotiations done on a case-by-case basis, at my discretion. If working trade, I require at least 1 high res file that is printable as a 9x12". I prefer to work with a MUA than bring someone who won't benefit a shoot. Rates are negotiable, within reason. Please don't hesitate to ask!
MODELING/POSING COACH/ART DIRECTOR RATES:
Available for Half Day (4 hours) & Full Day (8 hours) only, starting at just $25/hour. Contact me for exact rates depending on project and usage.
RE-BOOKING & CANCELLATION INFO:
Re-Booking Deposit: If a shoot is canceled within 3 days, my re-booking deposit is $25, payable via Paypal only. Refundable the day of the shoot, or put towards MUA fees, photographer's choice.
Cancellation Fees: If a shoot is canceled within 24 hours, my cancellation fee is $50, payable via Paypal only. Non-refundable, and will not be applied to a re-booking deposit.
WHAT I NEED:
I am focusing on lifestyle, commercial-fashion, beauty, and limited lingerie/swimwear. Lingerie and swimwear shoots must be more commercial/lifestyle themed and less glamour-like.
SCARS, PIERCINGS & TATTOOS:
I have a light scar on my left shoulder blade that wraps around my side from surgery I had when I was 2. I have one hole in each earlobe and a triple forward helix on my left ear. I have no tattoos.
