Ready to dive into the world of modeling but not sure where to start? Well, strap in because you’ve just found your navigator through this wild, exciting universe.
My journey? It’s been an insane ride across the globe, from the lights of big city runways to the pages of international fashion mags, all while working with various model agencies globally and thriving as a freelance model. This adventure has thrown me into a melting pot of cultures, styles, and unforgettable experiences that have seriously levelled up my game in front of the camera. Over 12 years, I've lived the life you’ve probably scrolled through on your feed - TV spots, catalogue shoots, high-energy fashion shows, and even modeling for those dreamy bridal brands. Yep, been there, done that, and now I’m all about passing those secrets and hacks onto you. One of the coolest chapters? Teaching at Modeling Schools in the frosty yet fabulous Siberia. Imagine this: sharing everything I know with folks just starting out, watching them go from camera-shy to totally owning it. Nothing beats that feeling. Education-wise, I didn’t just stop at learning poses and runway walks. I dived deep into fashion and nature in Siberia, bagging a Master's Degree that’s all about blending style with sustainability. Trust me, it’s the future of fashion, and you’re going to want in on it. But here’s the real talk - alongside my husband, I’ve been part of some epic wedding shoots and brand collabs. It’s more than just posing; it’s about telling a story, creating those magical moments that everyone double-taps on.
Why am I the right coach for you?
Because I bring the real-world experience, the insider knowledge, the creativity, and a killer instinct for trends, all mixed with a huge dollop of fun and sustainability vibes.
Whether you’re aiming for high fashion, commercial, or just want to slay on your socials, I’ve got your back. So, if you’re ready to step up, stand out, and really make your mark on the modeling world, let’s make it happen.
It’s not just about creating a portfolio; it’s about launching you on an epic journey of self-discovery and jaw-dropping experiences.

How it Works
Clarity Questionnaire: Before diving in, you'll fill out a questionnaire designed to help me get to know you or your child better. This step ensures we maximize our time together and hit the ground running.
Initial 30-Minute Video Call: Jumping right into the exciting part! Based on your questionnaire responses, we'll discuss creative concepts and meticulously plan outfits for the first photoshoot, ensuring a tailored approach to effectively support you or your child.
Photoshoot Experience: The photoshoots stand out by offering an immersive and interactive experience. We focus on capturing genuine expressions by playing with different emotions, engaging in easy-going conversations, choosing emotions actively, and even taking breaks for children to play. This environment, enhanced with music and collaborative styling, guarantees authentic and vibrant images.
Post-Shoot Portfolio Curation: After the shoot, I dedicate a week to curating the initial portfolio. This involves selecting the best images that truly capture the essence of the individual journey, crafting a portfolio that showcases unique personalities and stories.
Regular Check-Ins and Growth Tracking: Every three months, we have a 30-minute video call to discuss progress and adapt the style for the next photoshoot, reflecting growth and changes. Over 9 months, this results in 3 video calls, 3 photoshoots, and 9 different outfit styles, capturing the dynamic evolution especially in children.
Final Portfolio and Beyond: After selecting the top 10 images from the first photoshoot, you're all set to start sharing them with agencies, posting on social media, or reaching out to brands, marking the beginning of your or your child's modeling endeavors. Alternatively, I can proactively send it to potential brands on your behalf, leveraging the portfolio as a conversation starter with agencies or brands and paving the way for exciting career possibilities.
Exploring Representation: As the 9-month journey concludes, we explore the potential of me acting as your agent. This step includes sending the comprehensive portfolio to brands and discussing a partnership based on a mutually beneficial contract with a 10% commission. Remember, my approach is direct and personalized, focusing on unlocking the pure intelligence and potential in everyone, especially children, through guided expression and creativity.
FAQ
Do you work with a photographer or do you take the pictures yourself?
I will be taking all the photos myself, ensuring that each image remains as true to your (or your child) natural beauty as possible. Minimal retouching is applied to highlight, not alter, the authentic look which is crucial for a professional modeling portfolio. This approach helps maintain the genuine charm and individuality that agencies and clients often look for.
What if we don’t speak the same language?
Don't worry! Posing is a universal language of movements, so language barriers won't be an issue. I'll make sure to maximize my technique by physically showing and guiding you, similar to how a yoga teacher would, to help you achieve the best possible poses.
Do I need to organize transportation for you to the studio?
If the photo session is in Miami or New York, I'll be coming by myself. However, if the photo session is elsewhere, I would require transportation provided at your expense.
Can I get a refund? It’s kindly final sale. I encourage you to review the terms and conditions.
Is there a payment plan? It’s kindly paid up front and full. Because this is a single session with me, I require your investment to be submitted before we hop on our session together.
