I started modeling when I was 15.
I took modeling classes as well as local pageants.
I love helping others. Anytime I’m able to work with charities or benefits I’m game! I also enjoy photo-shoots for causes and for up and coming photographers.
I dislike unprofessional people and atmospheres.
As far as hobbies, I love to cook! As a mother of two small boys, I enjoy experimenting with fruits and veggies. I’d like to be assn inspiration to other young women that just because you’re from a small town doesn’t mean you can’t pursue your dreams.
My favorite body part is my legs.
I’d NEVER date someone online. Although I have a boyfriend, I’m old fashioned when it comes to dating.
I’m attracted to masculine men. I like very dominate men. I don’t like pretty boys.
Sexist thing a man has ever done is seen another man approach me while we were on a date and stand back. When I walked over and asked why didn’t he come over, he replied… “I wasn’t worried”. Confidence! Secure in himself!
The craziest thing I’ve ever done was do commando under my church robe! Lol. It was a dare.
Turn ons are tattoos and Gucci cologne.Tattoos are a huge turn on for me.Can’t disclose my bedroom secrets! Wink lol
Turn offs are pretty boys and hipsters.
My favorite jeans are acutely these pair of Levis I bought and I haven’t been able to find another pair like them. They are comfortable and fit amazingly.
My favorite shoes are a pair of cheetah print heels I bought from Charlotte Russe.

The craziest thing I’ve encountered as a model is just plain cattiness from other models.
My favorite artist is Alicia Keys. I feel as though she not only an amazing mother, wife, and artist, but she remains very private and modest.
Perfect first date is something public and yet intimate. Dinner and a movie. I’m very old fashioned.
Talents, I dance and bake, I have a degree in pastry arts.
I balance my life as a mother and model by always planning ahead and having back up plans.
My favorite attire is evening wear. I feel my sexiest in a little black dress with smokey eyes.
I wouldn’t change anything about myself. I am beautifully made exactly how I was meant to be.
My guilty pleasure is bacon. Oh my, I know I don’t need it but I love love love it!
I am happily taken.
I’d like to add that I’m not just a pretty face. I have a degree as well as in college again now.

My name is Shaye’ and I am from Washington, DC. I am currently living in Durham, NC
to receive my masters from North Carolina Central University. I am 5’7 and weigh 131.
I first started modeling in high school as a runway model. I didn’t like it as much
so I became only a print model. My first photo-shoot was my freshman year at Saint
Augustine’s University. The photo-shoot was for a back to school party flyer and my
photographer was Rick Crank. From there I worked with Rick and other photographers
name Kenneth and Sonja. During my undergrad years I only did urban modeling. Now I
do a little of both. I am a urban and eye candy model and also nude. Yes I am
willing to travel. I traveled before for a photo-shoot to Atlanta and a couple of
times in Washington, DC. I want to travel more to expand my portfolio and also to
work with different styles of photographers. My goals as a model is to become a
successful published model. I do not model for the fun of it. I would like to make
this a career.
