Photography has been very, very good to me! I've made a career of of it and now have chosen to broaden my horizons and do what I love most. That's not to say I don't still love many other aspects of the art! - and as such, I will continue to pursue those as well. But I have achieved so much more through my photographic pursuits already. So, I am indulging where once I simply dabbled.

For paid gigs:
Have recent, non-retouched images representative of skin complexion, current hair and body type/tone;
Demonstrate (through photos) that you are comfortable in the styles we will be shooting;
Provide your own transportation to and from the shoot;
Provide proof of age;
Be willing to sign a commercial model release;
Show up on time.

If you have a significant amount of tattoos, I may do TF or shoot for submission. No per hour fee to you unless I am compensated as well. I like tattoos, but have very limited placement for them.

Finally, specific to nude modelling (common sense, really): If you list "Nudes = Yes", but really mean implied or topless, please tell me that in our first communication. Also, if set a rate for nude and we book 4 hours, expect to be nude for 4 hours. If we discuss a mixture of styles (most common), provide rates for the non-nude shooting styles. I will not pay your nude rate for 4 hours if you are clothed for 3 hours. Finally, remember portfolio 101? All portfolios should have head shot, profile shot, full body shot and swimsuit shot. If you are offering nudes, include nudes in your portfolio (Like I said: Common sense). If you have an objection to that, put them in a private album and be prepared to share the password to prospective clients (me), but note that I may view that objection as a deal breaker. I don't have time for the "Please don't post those" drama after the shoot..
