Q&A……
Q-How would you describe your
style of modeling?
“I want to say a little between sexy
and sultry.”
Q-How do you prepare for a
modeling shoot?
“I like to work under pressure the
day of I pick what I want to wear
because I know I always change my
mind, and I like what I am wearing
based on what I am feeling that day.
So it works for me.”
Q-What is your favourite shoot to
date?
“My second shoot, it was done in
Vegas at the Cosmo and the scenery
was just beautiful. The photographer
made me feel comfortable and
worked at my speed.”
Q-Which is your favourite photo
that a photographer has taken of
you?
“I’m wearing a white one piece,
something about wearing all white
makes me feel sexy but innocent.”
Q-Do you ever get shy in front of
the camera?
“Yes but after awhile I don't even
think about it, I’m focused on making
my shoot look good!”
Q-Is modeling an easy job or
more difficult than people
realize?
“I think it’s difficult because you
never know what people want or
what they define as beauty at the
time. Also everyone wants to do it,
so if you really trying to make this
your full-time career. It’s hard ‘cause
you have a billion other girls trying
to do the same thing you are trying
to do.”
Q-Do you find modeling to be fun
and rewarding?
“I think it’s fun, but I think it would
be more rewarding once you get to a
certain place in modeling.”
Q-What is the best and worst thing
about modelling?
“Everyone wants to do it but it can
lead and open doors for other
things.”
Q~ How would you describe your
personal style, where do you get
your inspiration from?
“I think casual chic… I get my
inspiration from looking at my
surroundings and people.”
Q-Sometimes the modeling
industry gets a bad rap with the
jealousy and egos encountered
between other models and
agencies. Was this true for you?
Have you managed to tough it
out and make good friends?
“Thankfully I met a lot of models
that have been very inspiring and
encouraging.”

Q-Is there anyone in the
industry who inspires you?
“It has to be Cassie, she’s very
good at what she does and she
took what she learned from her
modeling and used it to her
advantage with her music.”
Q-What do you feel you bring
to the modeling world?
“I think versatility, a new body
style.”
With that being said, what do
you feel you have that sets you
apart from the other models?
“Nowadays if you do not have big
boobs or have a big butt you are
not a model or don't have the
ideal body type but, me I feel like
I’m right in the middle. I have
curves but I’m still slender.”
Q-What advice do you have
for other aspiring models?
“Know what you want to be
known for and what you will and
will not do.”
Q-Any shout outs?
“My best friend, she never judges
me and she’s always there when I
need her the most.”
