My Work

Photography-
I am a freelance Photographer in Little Rock and the surrounding areas. I specialize in model portfolio's and childrens fantasy, portrait, and pageant photography. I do on location shoots at the location of your choice. I also do out of state shoots if there are enough sessions booked for the trip. I haven't had the chance to do weddings yet. But, would love the opportunity.
Check out my portfolio at
One Model Place
Model Mayhem
Retouching-
I do pageant and glamour retouching. I can take a snapshot and turn it into a glamour shot. I also do minor touch ups and some restoration.
what can I tell you about me. I am an Arkansas transplant from sunny California. I miss home and it is apparent in every breath I take. I don't do drugs, I rarely drink, but I love my cigarettes. I am ur text book cancer. I'm loyal and family oriented. A home body. Hard on the outside, soft on the inside. I don't hold grudges. I am slow to call someone a friend. It is my belief that you have only a few true friends in your lifetime. My 2 best friends in the world are my husband and my sister. I am a fan of performing arts. I love to dance and have fun. But, rarely do. I have 6 great kids. 4 of my own and 2 steps. And a brand new grandson! My husband and I are both avid parrot lovers and raise exotic parrots. Our flock consists of over 40 parrots...greenwing macaws, blue and gold macaws, military macaws, rosebreasted cockatoos, triton cockatoos, blue front amazon, umbrella cockatoo, quakers, cockatiels and more. We always have babies avaiable. I am spontaneous and always changing...reinventing myself. Constantly searching for the new me or fighting to keep the old me alive. My biggest flaw is that I am a bit self absorbed. And If you've read this far...you might as well make contact. But, only if you come in peace.

Show Josiah Leming some love! visit him at http://www.myspace.com/josiahleming. what an amazing talented guy...I know he will go far.

Why Did You Add Me?

There are many reasons why I might have added you:You are a photographer I found you in my networking search You are a model that I want to take pictures of You live in Arkansas in or around Little Rock You live in Missouri in or around Branson I liked your default pic You are a fellow parront I was bored and did a random search and you were lucky enough to make the list!

What if I don't want to add you?

Don't! But no need to send hate mail! I add so many people all the time. I probably won't remember sending you a request anyway. No need to be hostile! haha.

Comments

I love to get comments from all of my friends. So, please do leave a comment. I will return the favor. But, I hate when my friends break my page with large graphics or insert music in their comments. So, please be considerate. I don't mind if you use my comment section to advertise. However, please don't post 'add me' comments. They really serve no purpose and don't belong on my page. If large images are posted, I will not approve the post. It's not because I'm unfriendly, it's because I hate having to scroll to the right or left on a page.

Messaging Me

I try to reply to all emails sent to me. But, it's hard to do so when I receive messages such as: Hi there!------my response will be 'Hi' I love your pictures!------thank you :) sup?------not much...u?
Do you see what I'm saying? lol. One line emails such as this are really hard to respond to. So, when you email add a little content and something worth chatting about.

Music:

I'm a huge Clay Aiken fan. I have the shirt to prove it.

But, I've always had a thing for red heads. Starting with Axl Rose leading to my current husband. However, you can't tell because his head is now bald. But, at one time...so I have been told...he was a red head. I love music. All kinds. I am especially fond of 80's hair bands and alternative. As well as hippy era. GnR, Aerosmith, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Tesla, Dee-lite, Violent Femmes, Lynard Skynard, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Queen, Janis Joplin, Prince is a musical genius and Im not afraid to admit it. The infamous child molester Michael Jackson...He's innocent I tell you! Great White, Ozzy, Metallica, Hoobastank, John Mellancamp, life house, pearl jam, soul asylum, mega death...LOL, eminem, beasty boys, red hot chili peppers, marilyn manson, extreme, living colour, loretta lynn, johnny cash, faith hill, tim mcgraw...yadda yadda yadda

Movies:

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, being john malchovich (sp), house of yes, grease 1 and 2, knights tale, the knight, robin hood, stage beauties, fight club, wild things, vanilla skies, center stage, save the last dance, dirty dancing...nobody puts baby in a corner! Anything off the wall, midievel, knightsy, arts fartsy, musical, or dancy. Anything with claire danes, wanona ryder, anthony hopkins, health ledger, Johnny Depp and my personal favorite Sean Penn!

Television:

eh. Not a tv fan really. I enjoy a good reality show and anything on true crimes. American Idol is a must watch. I always pay my cable bill that time of year. GO DAVID!!!! I'm so on your side :)

Books:

Since the world wide web I can honestly say that I haven't read many books. Any books that I have read have been on the subject of real life serial killers and other interesting true crimes.

Heroes:

My Mommy & Daddy! For being strong enough to stay together through thick and thin. My mom for supporting 3 children and keeping a roof over our head all by herself because my father had fallin ill with lung cancer. My father for teaching me that NO MATTER WHAT, I will survive and instilling in me the will to keep on keeping on! My son for the man he is becoming...I love you boy! My grandson for having the will to live when most infants would have given up. My daughters for staying the beautiful princesses that they have always been and being strong enough to stand up for what they want. My uncle Royce for committing his life to his country and teaching me that it is OK to be me.
