Hi everyone, i just want to say that i am currently taking bookings, BUTTTTTT if you wish to book me here is what i will do . all adult levels appart from bg!
I WILL, work all levels up to gg hard video and stills, i WONT however do gg anal.
I had a shoot booked in with another model and we stated what we did and didnt do and he went ahead with the booking, then to come back to us 2 days before and says (oh i didnt relieze u didnt do that, ive seen you do it so didnt feel the need to ask,ill have to cancel).
WHATTTTTTTT!
Please ask and not assume cause it just wastes my time and yours, some models do change there levels and its better that you ask.
Due to this both models lost a job, shame really.
But if you are intrested then please please be clear about what you want us to do.
Thanks guys, love you all lots xxx

I'm with you on this one hunni, i've been let down a couple of times recently with late cancellations for no or poor reasons like this and it not only messes me about but also other togs could be shooting me.
The same goes for me so please specify all the things you want and are expecting at the time of booking the model to avoid confusion and wasted time

Got a good one for you - storm had a shoot arranged , good contact all week - guy texting on the day to say 'am on way' - text's an hour or so later ' just coming into peterborough now' - ten minutes later ' just getting some petrol' then...........................nothing, zip, nada - never to be heard from again other than about 3 days later with a text asking her if she would meet him for a 'session' .lol

I read this when it had no comments and was gonna say its the same here girls! Thought it was something to do with us Brummy lassies to start with! Think its a sign of the time to be honest, amateurs booking then realising they dont really have the cash. Or never had it in the first place and just like to joke around - seen plenty of them in my time too.
Tammie - Can you email me please hun with your location and rates as i may have something for you.
Thanks x

Hi Tequila,
Agree with everything you said about it being a sign of the times - only disagree on a small thing - I wouldn't say that you can class these kind of people as 'amatuers'.....professionals were amatuers once, and amatueurs if they are serious one day hope to be professionals - these people, not even going to say 'Guys' cos storm had one who was female. !!!....are just tossers!grin! if anything they are professional tossers as anybody who can be that much of a wanker has to have been doing it for a while...........lol xx

Spanner - Didnt mean amateurs in that sense hun. Its just that generally those are the only people iv had problems with as those are the only ones iv been dealing with offering paid work, as i generally dont do published work anymore.
The professionals iv been working with iv been casting for paid work so not had any problems on that side

Hi Hun,
Oops - wasn't having a pop xx (probably bad grammer due to too many stellas) was trying to emphasize in what i thought was a humerous way (and failing miserably ) was that these people are tossers...... that was really my point - bit of a mis understanding there , wasn't defending my status.lol xx (although can call myself semi pro soon) yeehah !!! at last .
Photographers who won't spend time...

There are photographers who know models by name and many who don't.
If you've worked with someone before it's taken for granted that they know you.
But if you are looking to expand your list of photographers then you can take it a read that they don't know who you are.
So why advertise yourself stating clearly what you will and won't do but then avoid showing anyone what you look like?
I appreciate your list of what you will and won't do...
The top of my list is booking models who don't allow me to see what they look like!
It wouldn't be so bad if your name was something really individual but how am I supposed to see what you might have done by Googling "tammielee?"
I have all the country-and-western music I could ever want now! lol.
Seriously though, models need to demonstrate some understanding of what we do.
Sites are often themed by models appearance:
bustybritain.com is a perfect example.
A photographer may think you're right up his street for what he wants but if you consider your appearance to be less important to him than your levels are to you then you might be giving off signals that say you are the most important person in the transaction.
Unfortunately you are not, you are an employee and if you send in a CV for a job you would not expect the HR manager to have to search the internet to see if they could find your university results.
No, your CV would be in the bin.
I'm not having a go, I'm passing on valuable advice an yes... hammering it home so it sticks.
I'm sure you're great at what you do, it's just that marketing themselves well is an often overlooked part of a model's profession. You need to be good at that too.
