Tessa Cat

My name is Tessa Catherine (Tessa Cat)!

I am new to modeling and currently looking to build a portfolio and gain experience through TFCD shoots. (But I wouldn't turn my nose up at a paid shoot! LOL) I enjoy shooting all types of images, but my primary goal is to shoot commercial type photos to assist with my goal of HOPEFULLY signing with an agency for commercial work! :)

I would also enjoy doing artistic and fun concepts inspired by world cultures, colors, video game characters, action films, and artistic takes on natural elements and seasons, flowers and fairytales. Or, if you have a fun or unique (age-appropriate) idea, I'd love to hear it!

I have another idea for a fun series of shots, but it requires a few other models (including one male model) so I haven't quite gotten that one worked out yet. :) I am also interested in doing extra/background work. I am not looking to do stock photography at this time.

Because I am a minor, a family member always accompanies me to my shoots, my model sites are a collaboration between me and my mom, and all shoots must be age appropriate. :)

I can be a little off the wall, a bit of a nerd, and I like to have fun! But, I believe in always behaving politely, professionally, and without drama, and hope to work with others who feel the same way. :)

**THINGS TO KNOW**
-I am currently wearing braces, and will have them on until early 2010. I have included a photo showing them for reference.

Thank you for visiting my portfolio, come check me out on my other sites!
