How would you describe yourself in a few words?
I´d say I am a big dreamer, full of hopes and wishes for my future..I love reading and being in the nature, walking around. My addictions are traveling and shopping nice things. I couldn’t live without music and good food and I am a crazy cat woman, being madly in love with my fur children.
How long have you been a model?
I started with it three years ago, but because of my apprenticeship and my job I had to stop that hobby for a while. This year I started working on it again and made some amazing new experiences. And I still wouldn’t call myself a model, I am just a girl with a great hobby who got the chance to work with a lot of talented people.
How did you get into modelling?
Actually I never thought of myself as a model or even someone that would enjoying standing in front of a cam, that´s why I was so surprised when I got asked at a lot of tattoo conventions or got requests on my social media from people who wanted to set a shooting with me. But I took the chance and I never regretted it. That´s how it started for me.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
I remember it was pretty awkward the first half hour, but the photographer was great and used to work with newbies.I Always thought I was one of the persons looking bad in all pics, but he showed me that wasn’t true and what is possible with a good photographer and lightning. He gave me self esteem and showed me how to move or how to look, what made the whole shooting so funny. I didn’t know how to pose and I felt like all I did with my arms or legs just looked weird, same with my face, but I just tried it and some of the pics looked great, and the awkward feeling faded.. I could enjoy the rest of the time and had a nice first shooting.
What does modelling mean to you?
For me it’s my favorite hobby and it means a lot to me. It gave me so much self esteem, and I helped me growing to the woman I am and gave ,me strength. When I was younger, I had some struggles with myself and with modeling I could get rid of them and I also learned how to react to people trying to talk me down. I met so many great people and build friendship to amazing people I wouldn’t have meet without it. I don’t wanna miss any experience I made because of modeling.
A model you particularly admire?
That´s a hard question. I like a lot of models, some because of their stunning beauty, some because of their special look. I like tattooed models, and one of my favorites is Bernadette Macias. I love her style and how she can be sexy and still being classy and adorable. And one of the most beautiful women I know is Adriana Lima, of course a big name, still so amazing without Styling or Photoshop, just being herself.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
This year my dream came true. I always wanted to have some picture of myself at the beach, ocean in the background, wind in my hair and sand on my body. A few weeks ago I got the chance to join one of my favorite photographers and another great one at their trip to Mallorca, and I am so in love with the results.
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
My style in everyday life is pretty boho I think. I love colors, feathers, chains, cardigan, hats and boots. Of course sometimes I like running around in sweatpants all day in my free time though. Makeup is a big addiction of mine, I have a lot and like playing around with it and also do my own styling for shootings. Most days I like being natural, but sometimes it’s fun to doll myself up.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
In my last vacation I was a the beautiful island Ibiza and fell in love with it immediately. It´s not just loud music and drunk people like someone may think, it´s so much more. So many amazing spots and beaches to discover, a lot of hidden ways to hike, and a peaceful feeling everywhere. It´s so easy to feel happy there. If I could choose any place I want, I want to have a small house by the beach there. Starting everyday with sand and water on my feet.
And it´s not that far away from Germany, so it would be easy to spent time with my family
What is happiness?
Happiness for me is feeling good with myself and the things I am doing. It´s spending time with my family and fur children. It´s not to worry about things that aren’t important in the end. It´s enjoying and appreciate small things like a bit of sun on a rainy day or an ice at a hot summer day. It´s walking down the beach and it´s having a great day at work and help people. Sometimes it is hard to feel happy, but if you take a closer look, you can find it everywhere.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
Probably at work doing a night shift.
What’s your next goal?
I don’t have that one big goal at the moment, I like my life the way it is. I have a few things I wanna do in my future, like traveling a lot, visit many countries, become as good as possible in my job and just be happy. And someday, I wanna build a home and get an own family.
