How would you describe yourself in a few words?
Passionate, determined, and creative.
How long have you been a model?
I have been modeling for about 7 months.
How did you get into modelling?
I had a friend ask me to take photos with him and I hesitated to for a long time because I didn’t think I was fit for modeling. Then I started my fashion blog and had to start posing in front of the camera a lot and I took quite a liking for it. Eventually, I did decide to shoot with my friend who is a photographer and since then the rest has been history. I have been loving it ever since.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
My first shoot was with my friend that I mentioned above, and before that, all of my blogging shoots were with my boyfriend. So obviously I was pretty comfortable with both my boyfriend and my friend who’s a photographer. All of my first shoots were really fun and exciting.
What does modelling mean to you?
In my opinion, modeling is art. It is creating different movements and facial expressions to create the type of mood and feel that the concept calls for. Modeling is much more than being a pretty face, it’s actually really hard work and a lot of artistic effort. But I really enjoy it and I love being able to be a part of all the creative projects.
A model you particularly admire?
I pretty much admire all models. I love watching other models in person because it’s so moving and powerful to see how skilled they are and how much effort and work they put into their craft. So literally from Kate Moss to a model just starting out…I really admire them all.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
I would love to shoot in Europe. Maybe Paris in particular. Or Spain.
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
My style is different every single day. Sometimes punk, sometimes girly, sometimes sweats.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I really enjoy where I live now in the Bay Area. In the future I might like to move to NYC or somewhere in Europe.
What is happiness?
Happiness is being able to truly live in the moment, without regret of the past and without fear of the future.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
Maybe on date night. Usually reading a book or watching a movie and ordering take out. Asleep by 10. I am pretty mellow.
What’s your next goal?
My next goal is to pursue creative work as my full-time job. Through modeling, blogging, styling etc.
