Sunrise Life - beyond skin deep conversations with freelance nude models

Jayde - Urbex, Edgy PNW Model, serial killers, scam agencies, losing and finding oneself

Jayde reached out about the podcast and I am so glad she did! I had a great time getting to know her over the course of this episode: she's from the PNW and her dad even had an interaction with a known serial killer... Jayde's modeling reflects her vibe and creativity - she loves urbex abandonment shoots, moody vibes, and she loves the winter!
Jayde is very self aware and has gone through phases of losing herself then finding herself again in her creative career. She has a love for community and is active in model safety groups as well. She dropped the names of some local designers in seattle, check them out!

Dakota Simone - Playboy, strict upbringing, Los Angeles, empathy & having fun!

Dakota Simone is a Los Angeles based nude model whose love for life shines through her work. She has been published in Playboy Magazine and has been featured in mainstream music videos. Dakota loves to dance and be herself, you can see her on instagram being goofy as well as elegant across her portfolio of images and videos. 
We talked about how empathy for the models at photoshoots is important, after she told me a story that left my jaw dropping! She could have died or been hospitalized because of the photographer's negligence... We are lucky to have Dakota today, here to create beautiful content and impact the world with her wisdom.

Mika Lovely - Fetish lifestyle modeling, p*ssy tape, death in family, being freed from social stigmas

Mika Lovely is a dedicated creative model who lives and breathes her art. Her hot goth vibe emanates from her social media presence. Though we have met in person years ago and been connected online for so long, I never felt like I knew Mika all that well until we had this amazing podcast conversation!!! I am so glad we did, because I learned we have so much in common!
Mika used to work in customer service before she became a model, once she crossed over into full time modeling, she decided she didn't ever want a manager to dictate her schedule again! We commiserated about our struggles with getting de-platformed on various social media platforms, talked about some crazy hosting situations, pussy tape, promo modeling and more!

Sophia Cilauro - Photographer came in his pants, Don’t burn bridges, Model friends as coaches

Sophia and I met at Muses in Wonderland earlier this year, and I was so happy to get to know her better through the course of this podcast!! Some of her stories were so intense I found myself gasping with intense cringe!!! 
She was gifted with good model friends who helped coach her into professional nude modeling! Her career launched pretty fast, even though she had good guidance, some of her experiences were shocking. 
Sophia has learned quickly that burning bridges is harmful to a successful freelancing career, so she has reinvented herself and has had the emotional intelligence to see herself and her career from an outside perspective to continually improve as a person and as a model. 
I truly enjoyed our chat!!

Louise Rosealma - Photog gets naked, model cliques, escaping addiction, & more

Her crazy photoshoot story was soooo cringe! The photographer presented himself as a female online, so she trusted them, and the shoot got real weird real fast!! You have to listen to the whole episode to find out what happens!! 
Louise opened up quite a bit in this episode. She exposed to me that she had a past life of addiction that she is grateful to have escaped from, but it was very challenging and a past love was involved. We also talked about how cliques in the freelance modeling world seem to function. 
It was such a great time talking with Louise Rosealma aka Tiny Little Spitfire :)

Jenna Citrus - Fail Army photoshoot wipeout! Platform censorship, hustling content, Youtube & more!

Jenna Citrus is so dedicated to her originality and her craft! It was really inspiring listening to her talk about the lengths she goes for her content creation- she even learned how to produce her own music so that she would not get flagged for using certain audio tracks on her monetized youtube channel! 
I almost died laughing at her photoshoot story involving a wipe out that was filmed and featured on Fail Army, you gotta listen to her tell the story! 
Jenna is such a refreshing bundle of joy, but she also has impostor syndrome, as many of us models and content creators do! We talked a bit about that, listen to her unique perspectives about what it's like to live this creative life!

Dakota Lee - Reinventing, Gun brandishing at urbex shoot, No more nudes, & more!

I was a little starstruck to have the opportunity to interview Dakota Lee for the podcast! She is such a powerhouse! Her professionalism exudes from her online presence. Dakota has rebranded herself in many ways over the years. 
From becoming a professional photographer to quitting nude modeling and having new doors open for her as a result, my conversation with Dakota had me thinking about freelancing from a fresh perspective! 
Oh, and her photoshoot fail story was CRAZY!! It was a good thing her photographer had a gun with him!! You will have to listen to find out what happened!

Keira Grant is such a light hearted and beautiful human! Her first photoshoots were by her friend when she used to socialize at her local nude beach. After being photographed nude and eventually starting a portfolio, Keira entered the world of traveling freelance modeling!
Painting and music are also some of Keira's passions. She is somewhat mysterious about her music in her social media though, she says she likes it that way. 
Hear her story about why she doesn't do body glitter any more! It was pretty funny! Unfortunately, Keira had lost some good friends over her choice to be a nude model.

Bunny Luna - Ecosexuality, Modeled in a forest fire, queerness, self portraiture, & more!

Over the course of time I have known Bunny, they have transformed so much into someone who is very self aware and very conscious of what makes them happy. When we first met, Bunny photographed me in a very unique way: double exposures with me as a subject and nature as the second exposure in the image, and this is one of Bunny's specialties! 
Bunny Luna's photography came before their modeling career, and they modeled primarily with photographers who treated them as the unique individual they are, not the kind of photography that has a narrow depiction of humanity or a stereotypical vibe. Bunny was married to a man for many years, and in this episode you get to hear what happened after they separated, and the transformation that occurred after Bunny decided to grab life by the horns and delve into what truly made them fulfilled. 
In recent years, Bunny has created ways to be connected with others who have similar interests, some of these creations are in events for businesses Bunny runs or participates in, you can check out all Bunny Luna's projects in these links!

Dane Halo- Almost sacrificed, photoshop ethics, relationship to sensuality, & more!
