Bio

I am a Vancouver, Bc based professional model. I am a single mom of 3 beautiful girls. I am a sculptured nail artist/nail technician as well as an advocate ( Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Autism, Depression , Anxiety disorders , Self Harm ETC...) I started John Casablancas modeling college when I was 17, right out of highschool. After graduating modelling school I decided I was too shy to continue. Over the years I played around with friends and family between modelling and being photographer. It was always apart of who I am, what I wanted to be. I was always told I was photogenic. About 2 years ago my dad was diagnosed with lung and colon cancer. This hit me hard! I shut down! I couldnt deal or handle anything! I went into shock, a depression, mental breakdown, I honestly dont know what to call it. I didnt want to be a mom, a wife, I just pulled away from everything! I became distant, disorganized, forgetful, and most of all disconnected from my family. 16 months ago I separated from my husband of 12 yrs. I felt unattractive, undesirable, unworthy, useless and like I had accomplished nothing worth while in my life. I needed a confidence boost. I wanted to come out of my shell. Fulfill some of my dreams. Do something amazing and for my daughters, friends, family but most of all myself to be proud of! I wanted to accomplish some of my past goals my dreams. I had realized lifes too short. There was way too much I wanted and needed to experience in my life and I felt time was running out! I did my first boudoir shoot! I was scared, nervous and very self conscious!! Being an older plus size curvy girl who was shy and self consious about her body, I pushed through and forced myself out of my comfort zone! After seeing the photos I was like wow! Those look pretty cool! I did more and more branching out into pin up (as that style is perfect for curvy girls and sexy yet classy). Along the way I met different photographers and found out that yes they did want to shoot me! Obviously some werent interested which is fine. Many were and are interested!! And so my modelling journey began. Since my start 16 months ago I have shot many many times in various themes, locations and with various different photographers. Some just learning like me and moved my way up to photographers that are published and only shoot for submission! Ive met and worked with very talented and published hair and make up artists with whom I work with regularly now and have come to adore them! At this time I have 3 shoots being edited for submission ( cross your fingers) and more shoots coming up! This month alone I have 6 or 7 shoots booked!! I walked my first runway in 22 years at RAW March 1st 2017! I am having a blast! And wont stop as long as I have photographers wanting to shoot me. My goal in all of this is to obviously NOT be a super model or make a career out of modelling, as I am 40! My goal is to have fun, fulfill my dream, be creative, but most of all show my 3 daughters and the rest of the world that you can do ANYTHING your heart desires with persistence, drive, and not taking no for an answer! I want to teach my daughters and the world out there that age, size, shape, ethnicity or any other reason people come up with cannot and should not stop you from following your dream! Its up to you to push through, break those barriers and show the world that what the media perceives as beautiful, perfect and acceptable is WRONG!! We are all beautiful in our own special way. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes due to genetics, nationality, medical issues etc... we all have features that are unique and should be celebrated! Diversity is beautiful!! For those that have supported me, been there for me, photographers that had seen something in me to give me a chance! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! It means more to me then you will ever know! You have helped bring the fire back in me! Given me the strength and courage to filfill a long time dream of mine and to help me show my girls and the rest of the world that you can do anything you put your mind to!! I am forever grateful!
