Independent Model

I have been an Independent Model now for 2 years. I enjoy it very much. I get to work my own hours and be my own boss..An also say how much money I get and get to keep it.
But its not all as thrilling as it sounds. I also have to find my own work and meet new ppl who I have no idea who they are. Which can be scary at times.
I have taught my self to be independent and professional and most importantly on time. I work hard to achieve important goals and stay respectful towards other.
But along the way I have met alot of ppl who were unprofessional and out of line and who were not on time.

I use to be such a shy person and have broke free of that..At least when it comes to modeling I could probably talk your ear off.

But as I was saying being independent has its good an bads...
I know now after two year that I'm ready to not be independent any more? I'm ready to brake free of this and be an agency model...I'm ready to be in mags and be some thing big...I have achieved so much but I'm ready to do more. I'm ready to be out there and travel to new lands and meet new and interesting ppl in the fashion world...I'm ready to be a real fashion model and be in editorials and walk a real run way. I'm ready to be the girl that every one looks at and wishes they could be. I'm ready to brake free and learn but also teach others.
I have recently been teaching other models to become better at modeling and posing. But if I'm able to teach then why am I not a real model yet?
Was it even meant for me to be a model? Should I just give up and settle down with my husband and buy a big house and have kids? An become a young mom like most of my friends? What do I do? where do I go? Dose any one really know whats in store for me? Many tell me I was born to model and should have already been signed and in mags...No one has ever said I'm no good. Which must be a good thing? Or do ppl just say that? Ill never know...
I plan for the next few months to go to L.A. and seek out agency's...I'm going to go to as many castings as possible! In tell I reach my goal! Ford,Elite, Here I come!

This shoot was very fun and gave me more lifestyle.Be for I had been feeling my port was getting to sexy.This calmed it down a bit. There will be much more life style to come. Even though Id like to be a fashion model I have noticed I'm very good at life style as well.

NEW YORK

Once again found on model mayhem by a photographer named Karim Paris....
Going to New York was like a whole other world to me. Big buildings every where...The best food I have ever tasted in my life! So many people walk through the streets daily..I got a huge work out for just being there a week. It was such and interesting place to visit. I do hope to return one day...

Karim Paris as a photographer had a very creative way of thinking and I fell in love with the photos we had shot together. I had been waiting to work with a real fashion photographer. I was in need of more fashion in my port...He helped me to create such beautiful images. Also was surprised to be able to get a full staff for make up and and wardrobe was awesome. An found my self a good friend. I couldn't be more happy with my trip to New York!

Meeting Jose Luis...

A big brake...
Was on model mayhem in the shout room chattin it up with models and photographer..Met Mr.Jose Luis...He ended up flying me to Dallas to shoot with him. He was the only pro photographer who actually seen alot in me and new I was born to be a super model he helped me and gave me the confidence I needed. I had been so excited! Finaly getting to shoot with a photographer who will do a ton of justice for my port. I was at my braking point of wanting to quit. I Knew at this point life would change for the better and it did! Our first two shoots...

In The Begining

First starting modeling was scary and serious.
So many scammers out there trying to take money from innocent teens that only want to make it as a model and find out later they are paying more then they are making. Very common in Utah of all places...
I started out by hearing a model search on the radio when I was 15...went to this model search got in the top 20 and got a free start to my portfolio...Then mom moves me and my brother back to New Mexico a wounderful place that I call home! But later around 18 I picked up modeling again....Photo from 15-20
