Aubrilynn: What was it that first got you into modeling?
Steveie: What I was in 6th grade I was asked to model with an agency.

Aubrilynn: Did you actually start modeling before you were 18, if so, have you noticed a difference in the demand for shoots?
Steveie: Yes, after turning 18 I was allowed to do a lot more. I was also more developed as a woman.

Aubrilynn: Have you felt any pressure to physically change to pursue modeling. What kind of changes?
Steveie: Yes, I have never felt tall or skinny enough.

Aubrilynn: Have you had any problems with nude modeling? (ie, assholes on Tumblr, because they suck.)
Steveie: YES! Oh my heck, internet bullying is such a big thing. I always get hate mail about how ugly my
 body is and what not.


Aubrilynn: Have you gone in the direction you were originally hoping? (Are you taking the type of photos you always wanted to?)
Steveie: Yes, I couldn't be happier!

Aubrilynn: You do a lot more than modeling, what are more of your focuses?
Steveie: I love styling hair and makeup for shoots. I am going to school to be a psychologist and work full time.


Aubrilynn: How do you typically prepare for a shoot?
Steveie: I am literally the worst at preparing for a shoot, most people work out and what not... And I'm all, "Can I have more pizza?"


Aubrilynn: Do you prefer to do your own styling or working with a stylist?
Steveie: I prefer to do my hair and makeup, only because I am very particular about how I look. BUT if I meet the right person, who knows exactly what I want, then I am so happy to have them.


Aubrilynn: A lot of models branch off to become photographers, would that ever be something you would be interested in?
Steveie: YES. I have done a few things, but I would probably only use film cameras.


Aubrilynn: Who are some of your favorite people to work with?
Steveie: Aubrilynn Braithwaite is my favorite HMA, and Marcus Salgado is my FAAAAAV photographer.


Aubrilynn: Have you found there to be a different dynamic in working with different photographers?
Steveie: Yes, some tend to be very pushy, while some are very laid back.


Aubrilynn: Typically, you would be laveled as an alt. model, do you feel that has made it harder to progress as a model?
Steveie: No, not at all. I love everything about being an alt. model. They are a different type of beautiful and I love that.


Aubrilynn: What is your favorite memory that you have experience due to modeling?
Steveie: Probably being able to travel because of it.


Aubrilynn: If you weren't modeling, is there another form of art you would be pursuing?
Steveie: Something to do with fashion. I love sewing... So something to do with that.


Aubrilynn: Have you had a lot of support from your friends and family?
Steveie: My friends, definitely. Family... Not so much.


Aubrilynn: Has modeling affected your day to day life at all?
Steveie: A few relationships have been ruined due to insecurities with my modeling. But other than that, no. Just more excitement!
