Who I am in my own words:

I am unique, fierce, loyal, and a scorpio.
I hate to hear "I can't" or "No".
I stand up for what I believe in. I am a teacher/coach (a collegiate sprinter in Track & Field), and I want to make a difference in the lives of the children I teach.
I modeled years ago when I was in middle & high school but chose to stay the path of athletics.
I have an amazing family who supports me in all I do.
My husband of 10 years, 3 year old daughter, and 11 month old son are my biggest supporters. They give me such strength and remind me how precious life is every day.
I am the oldest of three (a sister and a brother) children.
I love animals.
I love God and who I am in His eyes.
I love decorating my body with beautiful artwork,to read, and write poetry.
I have vivid dreams that often give me insight.
I have a beautiful niece (MaKasha) who I helped raise, an adorable little niece (Zoey), and a rowdy nephew (Dylan James)!!!
I have five godchildren that are my best friend {DD& Rose)}'s children.
I am truly blessed through and through and have recently found peace about who I am and what I believe in.
I love to laugh, smile, have a good time and enjoy every moment of my life.

Business Information:
I am very experienced and am really only taking paid assignments; however, if you think I may be interested in something that is unlike anything in my portfolio then please send me a message or email me.

I will sign a model release as long as it is appropriate; however, I will require you to sign a release for me as well. It basically just states you will not use any of the pictures taken that are not "appropriate" and approved by myself per my other career!

I do not shoot nudes, but thank you if you were interested in that type of shoot, but this is not an option because of my career as an educator. I always bring an escort and most of the time he/she doubles as my assistant and set director if needed.  He/She will not interfere, but he/she will not let me shoot anything that is not within my standards according to my career choice.

I am currently breastfeeding (and am available for lifestyle breastfeeding shots with my son) and am in a 36I nursing bra. My breasts are all natural, and I plan to breastfeed for at least another year; therefore, they will more than likely stay this size until then. If you plan to book me for lingerie please understand that I will probably not fit into any "normal' sized bras, and I can provide my own. I plan to have a reduction 6 months after my son stops nursing.

The following is a SMALL list of photographers, makeup artists, hair stylists, and stylists whom I have worked with throughout the past 8 years of my career. Honestly, these are just the ones I have worked with from 2007-2012. I can provide many references if you so desire.
