Not at all.  It was an indoor shoot with one of my girlfriends at her place.  She had more experience than me so she sort of coached me along making me feel totally comfortable.

What are some companies have you modeled for?

Surfshot girl, Automatic centerfold, Reef, Heartbreakers ad in 944, SoCal Beaches Magazine & Calendar, Romantic Rock Designs, Sundiego fashion show

I'm a little too short for the runway so I concentrate on print.  And most of my experience and published work has been swimsuit photos.

Do you think there is a lot of competition in the modeling field now?

Of course, you'd have to be living in fantasy land not to think so.   

When girls tell you they want to get into modeling, what advice do you have for them?

It's longer hours and harder work than you might think.  And being pretty doesn't necessarily mean you'll be a good model... it sounds silly but practice posing in front of the mirror!
