I'm pleased to announce that today I have just signed with Expecting Models out of NYC! I will be apart of their agency's East Coast division. Hopefully Sienna and I will continue to book with them once she is born and ready to strut her stuff! We'll see if she likes modeling too:) You may have heard of this agency before. They have a docu-series on Discovery Health about models who work while expecting! Very exciting stuff:)

Yesterday I took a road trip with my friend and model Tara Block down to Tampa to visit one of her agents, Benz Models and Talent Agency. My hopes were to present my portfolio, headshot, and resume and perhaps pick up an agent in south Florida. I am pleased to announce that our visit was successful and I am now apart of the Benz Model and Talent family:) Hopefully I'll be able to get some maternity jobs soon as I'm almost 5 months now and starting to show more;)

This weekend my very talented husband and I decided to go out and have some fun. He had some inspiration and I was happy to Oblige. You can see more of his work at www.journeyphotography.com .

If you follow my blog then by now you will know that I am a huge promoter of marketing yourself!
As and actor you need several tools to market yourself. A stellar resume, great headshots, a website, business cards, and a demo reel! 


A demo reel is the live version of your resume. An edited summary of all your best work put together in a small segment for clients to enjoy and see 1. Your look 2. Your skills 3. Your diversity/specialty . 

I am constantly updating my resume, website , and pictures....

Just got back from a terrific trip to NYC with my best friend, my husband David. We had a great time celebrating our 5 year anniversary and exploring my fav city. This was my 5 trip to the Big Apple and David's first. We took a bunch of photo-adventures seeking out all the great photo-ops in the city (too many to count). We only had 2 1/2 days but we covered a lot of ground.
