Redhead and freckles

It’s been a while since I posted some of my modeling work. These are the first set from a photo shoot I did about a month ago with two very talented artists. Most of you probably don’t know, but I do have a sprinkle of freckles that aren’t as noticeable as the added spray of … Continue Reading

It’s a crime

Two completely different looks from my photo shoot with Greg Brown Photography. I’ve always wanted to do the one-glove thing like MJ – I will forever try to strive for his swag. And this tropical-looking jumpsuit was a perfect choice for a summer photo shoot. And I love how the makeup artist matched the colors … Continue Reading

I am a dark cloud, swelling with rain

I did this photoshoot about a month ago so I’m happy the photos finally arrived. I hope I pulled off the Audrey Hepburn-inspired look my stylist was going for in the turban and peacock earrings. And I realized I tend to title my blog posts with song lyrics.. It might be cliche but so what. … Continue Reading

Skater girl

I feel like I say this every time I do a photo shoot, but this is seriously by far one of my favorite shoots. I shot with Lisa last autumn and we finally scheduled this little shoot in Harajuku. Her friend Chihiro did my hair and makeup in her studio and we ventured out in … Continue Reading

You and me

This is probably one of the most interesting places I’ve done a photo shoot. We were able to use this little cafe in Shimo-kitazawa freely because of the photographer. And I loved the cute props he brought for the shoot – a portable record player, his vinyl collection, old magazines and photo books. It’s just … Continue Reading

A Japanese spring

Good morning lovelies! I just received the images from my most recent photo shoot, a spring-themed Japanese kimono shoot. I had to post a few of my favorites even though there are so many that I liked! It was my first time modeling a traditional Japanese kimono for a photo shoot, but I had a … Continue Reading

So retro

As promised, the photos from my retro photo shoot, the first shoot of the year for me! I’m very pleased with how the photos turned out. I had never done a retro/vintage-inspired shoot before, so I had a great time modeling both outfits. I’m starting to realize that modeling is like acting – it’s important … Continue Reading

Girl talk

  I’m so excited to finally post the photos from my last photo shoot of 2012! I was fortunate enough to work with an amazing & talented team of artists – we all had a similar vision of where we wanted to take the shoot so it went really smoothly. Theme: girls’ talk. But to … Continue Reading

Lights & shadows

The final images from my second photo shoot with Kidperez Photography. Last time we did an outdoor shoot in Toyosu (check out the blog post here), but we both wanted to try something different and this is what we came up with. I’ve never done a studio shoot with such colorful lighting – the shadows … Continue Reading
