Winter 2011, Photographer: Laser Todd, Glendale, AZ
This photographer works as the man behind the lighting at different kinds of shows. He travels all over the country and world doing this type of work. He told me that he would do a shoot with me focusing on different lighting techniques. This was a very looong day of shooting but the photographer was fun to work with and it was beautiful outside. :) Have a look!

Dancing the night away!

Yes! I dance as well and by dancing I mean hip hop, jazz, ballet, tap (in my past), and am working on my lyrical. I've also taken a few ballroom dance classes and hope to explore belly dancing, zumba, and even pole fitness. In 2009 I tried out for the Minnesota Timberwolves and made it into the final 20 girls! I was in a week long training camp where in all my years of gymnastics and cheerleading I couldn't believe how hard they worked us! Unfortunately I did not make the final cut but you can check out the audition video. Our final audtion was to perform at a WNBA game at halftime and the theme was a throwback to the 80's so Michael Jackson PYT it was!

*Hoping I can find someone who would want to do a dance/movement shoot with me!"

I'm in the back right--you'll see my brown hair flying around. ;)

This shoot was a lot of fun and covered some different outfits from sport to 80's to swim to casual. Hope you enjoy! O and we may have been in the desert but that water sure was cold!

Arizona Shoot

Photo Shoot,  Maricopa, AZ, Winter 2011, Photographer: Alvin Johnson Photography

I drove about an hour to get to this shoot but it was definitely worth it! The photographer had great ideas and was extremely easy to work with. We did a few shots in his studio then we went to a great location he knew of in the middle of the desert where we got amazing shots near cactus and on the railroad tracks!

First shoot in Arizona

Photo Shoot, Gilbert, AZ, Photographer: Paul Matthew

After getting past the audition at PUSH models to be a promotional model I needed to amp up my portfolio. I did this shoot just to check out this whole modeling thing and after this I was hooked! We shot some pics in his studio and then we went to an old farmhouse area and got some really fun shots outside as well.

First shoot in a LOOONG time!

 Photo Shoot, South Beach Miami, FL, August 2010, Photographer: Jim Nichols

This shoot was done with a friend of mine who does photography as a hobby and convinced me to take some pictures for his portfolio. He flew me down to Miami to shoot "just for fun." I ended up having a blast and we got a few great pictures as well! This is where it all begins. These photos were my start!
