Hello!
My name is Nichelle (I'm also known as "Tay-shun").

I am an artist, autodidact, diyer, designer, empath, graphic artist, seamstress, silk aerialist, and then some... I am interested in being involved in unique, artistic photography.

I'm easy-going, honest, playful, hard working and respectful. I take direction very well; whatever you want to portray in your photos, I want to do that for you and I will work hard for it.

I am uniquely "alternative" and am part Italian, Cherokee and Spanish.

Physically, I love to run, dance, do yoga and aerial silks in my spare time. I have long legs, am highly flexible and can hold unique poses for long periods of time.

***FAQs***

- No plastic surgery - everything is real :)

- I have tattoos and piercings: if you are looking for alternative beauty, I am your lady.

- I am always open to do artistic nude work, so long as it is tasteful and I am absolutely NOT interested in anything pornographic.

- Because I do not sell photos, I no longer do TFPs and I need compensation for my time :)

- I am available for Aerial Silk photography; but ask for an extra $20/hr - it's hard wok! ;)

- I live outside of the Sacramento area (and have access to a beautiful 5 acre property!).

***Rates & Requirements***

- $100 for 0-1 hour of shooting
- $150 for 2 hours of shooting
- $200 for 3 hours of shooting
- $350 for 5 hours of shooting
I accept cash or paypal ONLY - please no checks.

(Exceptions: When I am being shot for aerial silk work, it is A LOT of physical work for me as an aerialist to hold poses for a photographer, so I ask for an extra $20/hr - because I guarantee you my body will need several days of recovery time).

I also ask that I receive FULL-HD digital copies of the images taken of me. I prefer to receive files via Google Drive; but if you want to give me a CD, that works as well. I will NEVER sell your photos without prior authorization from you for EACH photo; on that, you have my word.

Please note:

Make-up: While I am an artist, (and can do a great deal of beautiful make-up); I am not a trained make-up artist: if you are looking to do a full beauty shoot, you will most likely need to provide a make-up artist of your choice.

Wardrobe: I do not provide full wardrobe; if I have clothing that will work for a shoot, I will absolutely use it, but if you need something special - you will need to bring that with you.

***Experience***

Since 2006, I've worked with a great number of free lance photographers in Austin, TX and all over California - mostly on alternative, fashion and artistic nude shoots. I've also done quite a few promotional events and have a bit of experience with runway work (but it's not my "favorite" lol).

Although I am no longer active with this group, I have modeled in the past for SuicideGirls.com and have shot many times with their staff photographers in CA and TX, under the tag name "Tatian Suicide."

Please see the photographers I have modeled for; their portfolios speak for themselves and are impeccable. I am very picky about the people I work with; I have to LOVE their work and have an appreciation for their style before I even consider shooting for/with them. Also, and MOST importantly, I want to work with professional photography artists.

***Contact Info***

I am most easily reachable via FB messenger.

Feel free to contact me with ANY questions or requests and if you send me a msg, pls be as detailed as possible :]

I am excited to be on this site and am looking to work with some great people!

LIGHT and LOVE,
Nichelle
