I do limited/select TF. If I approach you with a concept I'll arrange everything. If you approach me with a concept I'll need for you to supply the wardrobe and a make-up artist and/or hair stylist as I don't have time to do everything myself.

It's not unusual for me to supply additional costumes, accessories and props (including items of furniture) for a shoot. I put a lot into my shoots and I expect professionalism in return. All models are required to sign a standard release form prior to the shoot and are expected to be on time and ready. I don't mind if you bring a chaperone provided they stay out of the shooting area and are quiet like a mouse. Note: If you cancel without a very good reason the shoot will not be rescheduled. I will not risk disappointing and inconveniencing my team a second time.

If you're short on cash I'm willing to barter. See my list near the bottom of this page.

My dear friends,
I would like to share the photos of this fabulous Fashion magazine April issue in which I collaborated doing hair and makeup with Kyra Tomko.(model) and Samuel Quo Vadis(photographer) at the Mackin House Museum in Coquitlam. I loved working with them, they've got such great energy and they're so professional!! I had a great time. Please check out pages 26-29 !
-Alejandra (make-up artist and hair stylist)

Your photography is like cream. Elegant, menacing at times, but always so smooth and effortless looking.
-Jacqueline (fan)

Do you have something to trade? I'm always interested in acquiring more props and costumes. The type of things I'm looking for include:

-antiques (clawfoot bathtub, mirrors, jewelry, table lamps, furniture, musical instruments, stylish suitcases or trunks, wagon wheels, barrels, metal tubs, etc.)
-clothing (hats, wedding dresses, steampunk, goth, lingerie, vintage)
-photo studio equipment (backdrops, stands, diffusers, large picture frames, vintage cameras, etc.)
-real (and legal) or replica weapons (crossbow, swords, reasonably convincing toy guns, etc.)
-services (web site design, marketing, make-up, hair styling, archery lessons)
-anything cool, interesting or unique
-gold and diamonds ;-)
