Siren in the rocks of Mexico

I've had terrible service while in Mexico, but I haven't had much time to try to enjoy internet anyway except on the car rides to and from cenotes. I've gotten to use that time to relate and get to...

Probably my favorite set

I was inspired to  bring my cat in for a set. It wasn't intentional. I was setting up when she started getting really snuggly! I'm so happy to have her in the set. She is so funny. She doesn't...

The Fetal Pose or Model Bean

Set by Langston Bowen

I've been back in Georgia a few weeks and I'm in disbelief of the fall colors. Obviously these were taken in summer time, in Tennessee. I really love the nature around here. I fell in love with Cal...

Art From the Bahamas

I promised a story about modeling. I'm always asking myself why modeling? I often describe it as the one job where being an emotional person is a good thing. People actually want me to express myse...

The Bahamas

Back from the Bahamas. I know they're not the most inspiring photos, but I put my phone up and never looked at it for a week. I don't think of taking photos. So these were the few selfies I had tak...
