This past week I participated in Designer Erin Healy's private showing at Jacksonville's River Club in downtown Jacksonville. This private fashion show was held high at the top of the Modis building. It is one of the most prominent buildings on the skyline and boasts one of the most breathtaking views around town.

This past week I participated in a huge fashion even at the Ocean Club in Jacksonville Beach. I was hired by local boutique Krista Eberle who carries one of my favs Nicole Miller. My friend Erik contacted me about taking part and I'm so glad I as able to. What an event;) So much fun:) Here is an image of my favorite garment of the night. Can't wait to work with you guys again! My friend Lauren also walked, and we had a great time. Forgive the lighting in this picture. It was really dark in th...

Last month I had the pleasure of modeling for my friend and designer Erin Healy. Her line is inspired by nature, so it came as no surprise when I found out we'd be shooting at the Botanical Gardens at the Jacksonville Zoo. The Zoo recently opened their Asian Gardens, so it was ripe for the shooting:) Photographer Jennifer Grissom did a great job and was a blast to work with. It had been a while since I modeled with my close friend Lauren, we had a great time working Erin's fabulous designs. A...

Last week I had the honor of being photographed by a newcomer to town. Steve and his lighting tech Shawn, were so fun to work with and proved to be very professional and flexible to some of the ideas I had. Michelle Axtell provided the brilliant makeup. We always have fun working together and this was no exception. The concept was bohemian fashion. We chose to shoot under the 210 bridge. It proved to be a tricky location, but we found a few surprise options to work with in the area.

The thing I love about this industry is the freedom to discover all the many layers we as humans have to offer. Whether I'm the model, actress, or photographer I'm always intrigued by what lies beneath. The endless depths of the soul. And its just friggen fun to pretend to be someone else:) Let's just be honest;) lol So far, this week I've been a beautiful cyborg, a lost bohemian fashionista, an outlaw, and a frenchwoman. I have the best job ever!

I got some more great shots in from Natalie McCray. I had to share. Her stuff is so edgy and graphic! I love her style. It's such a great departure from my normal stuff, and we have such great energy together. Thanks again to the wonderfully talented Kimtasha for her amazing job on makeup! Thanks Natalie! I can't wait to work together again!

As covered in the last blog, I had a great shoot with Jim Arbogast this weekend. I co-starred with my husband David in an Outlaw based stock video. Here are some stills from the shoot. Gritty and wicked. It's nice to play the other side of the coin every once in a while. Observe....

Yesterday I had the pleasure of shooting with Jim Arbogast. Talented and well known stock photographer, he has shot for the likes of Coca Cola, Smoothie King, American Express, and Hard Rock just to name a few. It was a great honor to get to work with him, and I also helped with production, location scouting, and plotting the story line. My favorite part, though was being in front of the camera as usual:) For this one, my talented husband, David also joined in on the fun. We were shooting sti...
