Do you prefer on location or in the studio?
It really depends because both can be fun and challenging. As long as there is a clear cut idea of what the designer/photographer/owner is looking for then I love shooting anywhere
Is fashion world / modeling world really that competitive?
Yes and sometimes you can get pretty harsh critics but for every negative you get 10 positives…if you have your mind set on success and you have the drive to push yourself that’s what really counts.
What are your hobbies?
I love being social, dancing, running, reading and hanging out with my puppies.
Girlie Girl or a Tomboy?
Both, I will play basketball in a skirt.
What has been your favorite photo shoot?
Wow, tough one. Probably the one I did with my best friend Stef because I got to help her out and we had a blast.
Is there an adrenalin rush when you are behind the camera?
Behind the camera I just have fun. The adrenalin rush comes from Runway!
What do you think about before stepping onto a shoot?
I like to know the feeling/mood of the shoot so I can try to get myself there mentally…if it is light and breezy I want to get in a giggly mindset, if it is serious get in serious mood.
Coffe or Tea?
Coffee
Do you have an interesting happening from a photo shoot, or a casting?
Doing a shoot on location I was freezing and trying to warm myself up. The location was a abandoned warehouse on a windy day. Since there were no lights just set-up outside and I had a jacket laid over me while I warmed up in the car…this caused a police officer to suspect the photographer and I were not just taking pictures…we cleared that up quickly :/
Has anyone in the industry asked you to change your look?
No not yet.
What do you think is your X factor?
I have confidence and drive. I’m probably not the prettiest or skinniest or whateverist’ but I am confident in what I do. I do my research. I know my place. And I am professional and never would dream of “flaking” on a job.
How do you keep a fit and healthy body?
Eat healthy but don’t “diet”. I weigh my options when I eat, if I know that I want to go to the movies that weekend I make sure I have healthy choices all week to get my pretzel bite fix on the weekend. I run. I do a lot of core work on the yoga ball and my secret fitness fix is pole dancing classes!! They have been my key to an all over toned body.
Who is your favorite photographer?
I can’t play favorites.
A little piece of advice for new models?
Get out there and do not be afraid to try new things. Listen and learn from everyone around you and practice, practice, practice.
