About Me

Before I share anything else, let me say that I'm a retired professional portrait photographer.  I had my own business where I got paid fairly well for what I did.  I had my business for 25, almost 26 years (from 1997 to 2022).  I always had a storefront and that's where I glowed. I know studio lighting very well.  I'm good at other lighting as well.  I am able to photography almost anywhere.  I am very picky these days about what I do and who I work with.  I'm not a snob, I just know what I want to do. I am located in New Braunfels, Texas but I do go elsewhere to photograph. 

Link is to my Facebook Business Page as I have shut down my website as I am retired.

Let me also say that escorts (the guys or gals who come with the models when going to a photographer that they've never met) are always welcome during one of my sessions with the models (I would prefer you bring one, personally.)

I am not a makeup artist so if you need makeup for your photoshoot that you want to have with me, you either need to find your own or let me know so I can provide some references of local professional makeup artists. 

Now Here's my tale (bio):  I always wanted to do photography when I was in High School, but due to other commitments with either Football, Soccer, or Drama, I was unable to take photography classes.  So, when I was in my first semester of college and in the common area of my coed dorm, when I saw one of my friends taking pictures at funky angles, I asked her what she was doing.  She replied that she was taking pictures for her photography class.  I asked her: "We have photography classes here at Southwest?" (At the time, my university was called: Southwest Texas State University but it is now called: Texas State University.)  She replied:  "Yeah, we have photography classes here."  I asked "where are they?"  She said: "In the technology department."  I then said "where's that?"  To which, she replied: "Over on the other side of campus on the hill."  The next semester I took my first photography class and have been doing so ever since.  Oh, I opened up my own portrait studio on April 1st, 1997, no foolin.  [This was 6 weeks prior to when I walked the stage and received my diploma from SWTSU.]

If you have any questions, please ask! :)

~I'm more than satisfied with my images. The retouching (I don't know if that's the correct term) or whatever you did made my skin look amazing. Thank you for taking the time to do this for me for free. I value your work & your friendship.

Hey, did you get my message?
I’m a full time international model with 10+ years experience coming to your area October 2nd - 5th or 6th before heading to Dallas. I’d love to know if you would like to work with me while I am here or if you know anyone who might. This may be the only chance to shoot me in your area. Do you have recommendations on how else to get more work or who to reach out to?
I have more details in my profile but here is a bit ABOUT me; As a full time model, I am highly committed, passionate, reliable, open to working with artists of any level of experience & am very experienced in a wide variety of expressive poses. I’ve worked throughout AUS, NZ, UK, EU, Hawaii, India, Singapore, Malaysia & Philippines with plans to travel through other parts of the world. My many years of experience in the industry with a range of creatives from around the world have earned me features in multiple magazines, art galleries & exhibitions in a variety of countries. I’m open to modelling with other male or female models (locals or traveling) in the studio as well as on location in various conditions & throughout a broad range of styles from portraits, fashion, pinup, editorial, beauty, lifestyle, swimwear, lingerie, sheer, topless, boudoir, implied, through to art nude. I can do glamour as well as suggestive & slight fetish/erotica but I don’t do open leg or porn. My extra talents; I’m a musician, I know how to free dive which is good for underwater shots, can horse ride, go on long hikes & also can crack a stock whip, I practice yoga, & have done basic pole & aerial hoop/silks.
INSTA; @layal.official (non nudes) @aim.model (nude) @aim.backup.model1 (back up nude)
My RATES; for up to art nude $150 per hour for 2hrs or more or $550 for 4hrs or $1000 a day. This covers costs including my meals/drinks, public transportation, outfits I can bring, my own make up & other things to help me be the best I can for you. Surcharges; for 1hr only, light fetish & extra shooters. I do understand people have budgets so I can offer pay off methods where you pay the rate over an agreed time. If Instagram or WhatsApp or even email is better than discussing here, please send me your contact details.
Thank you in advance for respecting me. Hope to hear from you soon, keen to see what we can do together, all the best & kindest regards.
