I have had the pleasure to work with Erin twice before, and am looking forward to my next shoot with her next month. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I love working with this beautiful young lady.
Now on to the interview.
1. What is the meaning behind your name?
Everyone had always stated that I have the look of the girl next door. Just that very classy look of a hometown girl. So, I became the Grl Nxt Door.
2. Where were you born, and grow up?
I was born in Meyersdale, PA. I started my life in the hills of Garrett County and ended up moving to Baltimore when I was three. We then moved to Harford County when I was four and I have lived in Harford County since.
3. How old were you when you starting modeling?
Honestly, I started when I was 29.
4. What made you want to be a model?
I was told that I should be one since the camera seemed to love me.
5. What style do you prefer when modeling?
I don't really have a preference as long as I am not doing nudes.
6. Is modeling a full time job? If not what else do you do?
Modeling is a hobby. It is my fun, girl time. I work at a private podiatry practice and have been there almost 12 years now. I do everything from medical billing to credentialing and even assist in surgery.
7. What type of photographer do you like. One that directs every move, or one that lets you just do your own thing?
I like a combination of the two. I want to be able to do what I like, but I also like someone who knows what will look best in the photo and isn't afraid to say so.
8. What do you like best. To shoot on set, or to shoot on location, and why?
That depends on the weather. You can get some some fantastic shots in studio where there is a controlled environment. However, you can also find some pretty terrific locations to shoot as long as you have the right lighting and the right equipment.
9. Do you go on shoots alone, or do you take an escort?
I usually have someone with me.
10. How do your parents feel about you being a model?
My parents do not acknowledge that I model in any way shape or form.
11. Do like to work alone, or do you mind working with other models?
Individuals are nice, but I have had more fun when there are other models on set with me.
12. Sexual Orientation?
Heterosexual - I have been told that I am "vanilla".
13. Do you like working with male or female models better?
I have only worked with female models.
14. What is your favorite junk or comfort food?
Fresh salsa with feta cheese and white corn tortilla chips.
15. What do you sleep in?
Very comfy pj's.
16. Dogs or Cats?
Both.
17. How many tattoos do you have?
Two.
18. Showers or Baths?
Both.
19. When you are in front of the camera what do you feel?
I don't really know. I never really considered how I felt before. It isn't something that I have given thought to pior to this question.
20. What do you like to do on your days off?
Sleep.
21. Do you like interacting with your fans?
Absolutely! They have been some of my biggest supporters and I would not have been able to do some of the things I have gotten to do if it wasn't for them.
22. How do you deal with fans that become let's say a problem?
I usually delete them from my FB page or block them. Luckily, I have only had to do that one time. I don't tolerate disrespect.
23. Are you single?
No.
24. T.V Or Computer?
Computer.
25. Have you had a bad experience during a photo shoot?
No and I hope that I am fortunate enough not to have one.
26. What will you not do on a photo shoot?
I won't shoot nudes.
27. How long do you think you will continue to model?
As long as I keep getting asked to shoot.
28. What is the one thing most people don't know about you that would shock them if they knew?
Most people do not know that I am a mother of four boys. The oldest is in high school and the youngest will start school next year. I don't usually tell people this before I shoot with them because I am afraid that they will have this preconceived notion that my body will look a certain way because of having children. When in fact, it does not look that way at all and I am very proud of that.
29. When home alone what is your perfect day?
Curling up on the couch with a good book and eating some good food.
30. Do you have a wish-list for fans to send you stuff?
No, I do not have a wish list. I just ask for the same respect that I give others. This includes those that I work with as well.
31. Where else can fans find you?
