i've had the extreme pleasure of modeling for a few years! i've done runway, print, reviews, guest blog posts, numerous social ads, as well as a short film that was entered in numerous festivals. Most recently, i was featured on Wedding Day Magazine in "Detroit meets Desert," and Offbeat Bride! need a new face for your brand or just want to build your portfolio? contact me & let’s create!

our first line of defense is our skin so why not protect it at all costs? i don’t mean just ours faces either, i’m talking full body protection! i had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with the talented team of olivia pearson (creative director/social publicist) and isabella jaii (photographer). these two brought ladies from different walks of life that shared a common goal of loving and taking care of our skin. the ladies included diamond (@yourcoilyness ), jasmine (@_jasminegraham), bianca (@negronbianca), jadel (@jadelhdavis), olivia, and selena (@imlenaaa). in this shoot we used products from ilera apothecary, 12th and viv, and socialite body essentials! my skin has never been so grateful for a photoshoot!
i’ve been sitting with these pics for a while because it’s just me, lol. Justin has a crazy way of getting true emotions out of me and i love him for it! he also called me a creative & i just about cried, lol. i know i’m creative, but to hear from people whose art you admire made my heart melt! i can’t wait to work with him again, but until then be sure to check out his other work! (he stays mega busy lol)
Wedding fever cured! This desert themed wedding shoot fulfilled my dreams of having a beautifully quaint home ceremony. Every inch of this modern __ made me giddy! The colors, accents, artwork, styling, makeup, and jewelry were just perfection! (including my “hubby”). Super thanks to Detroit Bridal House , Spoke Events & Northern Native for welcoming me & planning this successful shoot! You can find more about this shoot on Wedding Day Magazine!
I was fortunate enough to be a bride, again! This time with more of a twist and edge. The styling for this shoot was very contrary to typical “soft” and “easy” bridal portraits, to me. From my bold hair color to the plunging dress and the colorful make up, it was so fun to jump out of our comfort zones!
You’d think a city shoot would be the first thing I did once moving to Detroit, but I had to wait for the perfect photographer! A quick shoot soon became one of my favorites because of it’s simplicity. Chettara has such a unique style of shooting and a beautiful spirit that made the experience so flawless! It was a little chilly this day, but we couldn’t tell because we were having so much fun exploring.
I’ve had the pleasure to work with amazing photographers, models, mua’s and stylists! Here are a few favorites from past years!
