Modeling

(One dress, three looks)


Staying a head of the game can sometimes be tough so being versatile is  key. Becoming versatile takes practice and ability to connect with the person you are trying to portray as well as the audience you are trying to reach.  Modeling is more than wearing a pretty out fit or looking cute. It is an ability to communicate without motion or words. What you communicate is dependent on the goal of the shoot. Understanding that goal prior to the shoot helps you as a model prepare and be ready to meet the expectations of the client. This is a business. Handle it as a business and know your part. Professionalism is expected! Be versatile professional and you will show the world that......Petite Girls Rock!!!!!

Workshop thoughts

I am so excited to be doing this new workshop with Jim Juirca. I think this is going to be one of the most informative fun and inspirational ones to date.

The up's, the downs, the in's and the out's of getting into modeling and having success with it. I sure wish that I had an opportunity to have attended something like this workshop when I started modeling. It would have help give me more direction when I started and not had to learn by trial an error. Although trial and error is a good teacher, it is an expensive teacher!!

I started this blog for much the same reason, to share some of my experiences and hopefully help and inspire others in modeling and in life.

So looking forward to the workshop and my continuation in my career it has been great so far and I know the future has much more to offer because..............Petite Girls Rock!!!!!!!

Summer Plans

Happy May Day!!!

Wow it has been a while since I have written a blog. The beginning of may means summer is right around the corner time to schedule by work and projects for my break! I will be out in the New York/New Jersey area during the month of July. August I have shorter trips planned and the beginning of the summer I will be in Chicago for the most part. I am looking forward to working on the many projects I have in the works. It is an exciting season. During the busy summer months it important to stay focused on your goals and keep pushing forward. Don't give up or allow yourself to get distracted from what you want to achieve. It is easy to lay back. Keep pushing and remember.........Petite Girls Rock!!!!!!!!

Keeping Calm During Stressful Times

Learning how to navigate the waters of busy stressful times is essential to everyone in any career but it is even great importance if your career depends on you being and looking your best at all times. As a model you can't afford to show up on set tired or haggard so here are a few tips that can help you stay calm, cool and collected in the most stressful of times.

During busy times it is even more important to eat right, rest fully and exercise regularly. It is easy to fall short in one or all of these areas so lets try and figure out how to stay on track. I like to have on had a lot of fresh fruits and protein bars so that I can always have quick and easy mini meals on the go. I pack my fridge with lean meat and veggies so that I always have something to eat and try to keep things that are quick and easy. I am a fan of eating multiple small meals throughout the day and find that it helps keep my stamina up. So snack all day on the right things and you will more than likely keep your nutritional needs in check.

Exercise isn't always as easy but it is equally as important. It is the one proven way to help give you a better night sleep and also reduce your day time stress by releasing stress reducing endorphins. Schedule at least an hour a day for you it will really make it easier the rest of the day to stay focused and productive.

The final component is sleep. All to often we as a population don't get enough and it shows quickly on your face and in your ability to perform you best. It is crucial to set aside a minimum of 8 hours everyday to sleep. When you are well rested it is amazing how much work you can get done in the other 16 hours of the day. By putting effort into you. You will be able to always work at your best. You will not be as stressed during busy times and you will be able to always show the world that.....Petite Girls Rock!!!!!!!

Getting ready for 2012 Swimsuit season

I do a lot of swimsuit modeling and love when the new season is around the bend. Can't wait to get out into the sunshine and feel the warm winds once again. As I am looking forward to my up coming shoots. I thought it would be nice to take a look back at some of my swimsuit shoots of past!

This was my second or third shoot with my friend Jim Jurica. A very windy afternoon at the beach!! But always a fun time.

Spent the month of July on the Jersey Shore.. Love it there had an opportunity to work with a very talented photographer, Chuck Arabella, This is one  of my favorites from our first shoot!

Spring of 2011 had me in California... in three trips out west this to date is the only swimwear shoot I have done.. But the peer offered beautiful natural lighting!

Back in Chicago Had an opportunity to work with David for the second time on the first warm day after a cold, cold winter!!

Before summer actually hit had another chance to work with my friend Jim where we shot this. I was happy to have this be my second cover for GlamModelz

Back to the beach with Jim. My favorite spot!!Love, love, love the beach

I am looking forward to this season of swimwear shoots. A lot of exciting things are in the works in this area and I can't wait to be able to share them with you. Keep moving forward and show the world that........Petite Girls Rock!!!!!!!

Spring time Fashion

It is officially spring and now it is time to bring out the bright and cheerful colors of this new season. Spring it the rebirth of everything and this year fashion trends are included. the 80's color pallet is taking on a new twist. a little more muted one for this season. But all the colors are happy and certainly you will find a shade for you. The must haves this season is something orange. My personal favorite in this area in tangerine. It is the shade that can be worn from swimwear to jeans, on your nail and lip and on your cheeks. Work with all the colors and have fun mixing and matching them for a true update spring look that will carry you into the beginning of summer. It is the season of rebirth so come alive and be bolder with color and embrace the season and show the world that.......Petite Girls Rock!!!!
