action with my daughter. I am always making something, or re-purposing
things. I spend a large portion of my year involved in the haunted attraction
industry, it’s rather enjoyable.
I love all different forms of music! I tend to listen to classical, Ghost is great,
his silly little show voice makes me laugh… A lot of my friends are in some
pretty cool bands, I get spoiled with live shows. My boyfriend, Shane Munce
is an amazing tattoo artist who happens to tattoo a lot of people in the music
industry. One of my best friends is currently on The Voice, so I don’t really
have a favorite, I’m surrounded by so many wonderful, talented people!
How was your first shoot? Were you nervous? What advice would you give
new models about how to prepare?
Modeling can be a very rewarding experience. I feel like the industry has
become something very different than it used to be. There are many different
forms of modeling as well, runway and high fashion, editorial, print, alternative, and so on… I am only 5’5” so that doesn’t exactly fit into the high
fashion bracket but I was still able to do some rad shows in really big shoes.
I kind of fell into modeling. I think as a kid I did some dancewear attire first...
then some conservative stuff for Limited and Gap. It always just seemed fun,
and a paycheck that was rewarding! I think it can be tricky as far as tattoos
are concerned. Designers don’t have to abide by any specific standard. If I
am modeling a piece of, let’s say, formal wear and the designer doesn’t want
tattoos to show or they take the focus off of the article being sold, then they
are covered. I would say new models should work on building a really strong
portfolio, the more experience the better. There are a ton of people these
days who are willing to throw a free t-shirt at you for some skimpy pictures,
make a smart decision especially if you want to do it as a profession. Have
fun first and foremost, be confident, look back at your pics and see what you
can tweak. Learn to pose, and do not wear hair bands on your wrist!
Tell us about the photo shoot with Boss Lady Photography for these images.
She is amazing! We have so much fun! Chrissy (Boss Lady) is one of those
people who just makes you feel great and smile nonstop! She allows you to
feel comfortable and sexy. We have even ventured through mosquito filled
swamp land to shoot, ended up with a bamboo injury and it was still worth it.
We have a blast, and her images are beautiful! I adore her!
