Model application
Let’s create something rad together!
I’m always looking to collaborate with models who align with my style and want to create intentional, elevated imagery. Most of my model sessions are done on a TFP (trade for photos) basis - meaning you’ll receive professionally edited images in exchange for your time and participation.
’m open to a variety of concepts that fit my style and help build my portfolio. This may include:
-
Edgy or Unique Concepts
-
Car and Motorcycle Concepts
-
Bucket List Sessions and more!
Sometimes I will reach out with a specific concept.
All I ask that you’re open to following the styling and direction for that vision.
If you’re interested in working together, please read through the details below and submit your application.
KEEP SCROLLING TO APPLY.
Concepts + Planning
We’ll collaborate on the vision, including outfits, location, and overall styling. All details will be confirmed prior to booking.
If I approach you with a concept, I ask that you stick closely to the planned styling to ensure we achieve the intended result.
Hair and makeup are typically your responsibility unless otherwise discussed.
Locations
If I select the location:
-
We’ll agree on a general area that works for both of us
-
I’ll provide a finalized location at least 5 days before the shoot
-
I will scout and prepare the location as needed
If you select the location:
-
Please ensure it has been recently scouted
-
Check for closures, construction, or restrictions
-
You are responsible for any required permits or permissions
What You’ll Receive
-
A curated online gallery of fully edited images
-
Typically 30+ images, depending on the session
-
Gallery access for 30 days
Please note:
-
Turnaround time may vary depending on client workload, but will always be within a reasonable timeframe.

There is no session fee for model calls, as long as a professional working relationship is maintained and all expectations are met.
Social media + Image use
Tagging is required whenever you post images from our session.
This helps both of us grow and reach new audiences.
