Model-ARIA

It's been a huge summer for change for myself. While my trip to the USA was cancelled, I got an amazing job, a beautiful new home and my own studio with a few friends.

I got a job call at the begining of the summer, to work with a social childrens coucelling office in Nagoya. Talking it over with my boyfriend, we decided to move there together and finally live together. We didn't move right away, so I was back and forth on weekends, starting work, ect. While I was doing this, in mid-July I got a call from Kouhou Katsudo asking if I wanted to joint with him, as he was already planning on setting up a studio in Nagoya for a year or so now. He had a place, we just needed to get everything ready. So now, I am also helping him as his main model for the studio, and in return I get to use it whenever I want with any photographers, and I have my own office and gallery there for managing my own things.

Finally moved with Ichiro and the two kids 3 weeks ago, and so I am getting settled in finally! With settling in, comes organizing and being able to post all the beautiful photo's from over the summer. Most are few odds 'n' ends that were taken as samples for the studio, but there is also the final produc of the NOSBLESS/ODYESSY Shoot and fashion modeling I did for a company's ad in SCawaii magazine.

If you can't wait, most are on my facebook account now, just need to find time to upload them here also. Also, on my facebook you will find photo's of my studio, and the billboard I have as an advertisement for a hair and nail salon here in Japan.

Spring time in Japan. Peach and cherry flowers blooming, little girls going to the temple, and EXAMS!

For those who don't know, I am graduating University in 2 weeks (eek!) from Seitoku University  with a Bachelor of Humanities. I have gotten word that I have been Accepted to work in Tokyo with a local Social Service Agency! That is very exciting, but it also keeps me very busy.

Because I have been so busy, I havn't been modeling much. Once exams are done, I should be doing more shoots and will upload them as soon as I can.

I am also planning my trip to LA for this summer, also planning on stoping in NY for a few days.
If your in those area's let me know! Maybe we can work together! Let me know soon though, so I can plan how much time I need to set aside in each city, esspecially in NY.

Anyway, I hope to be uploading more soon, so keep a look out. Just wanted to let you all know I havn't dissapeared!

I just wanted to thank everyone for favoriting my photo's, watching me, and leaving wonderful comments! I just joined last night, not even 12 hours ago, and I awoke with over 200+ messages, not including the wonderful notes I have recieved from many people!!


For those new to my page - welcome, I really hope you enjoy my photo's!

I am a model, been modeling for 7 years now. I started in my home town of Nagoya, signing with my first agency in 2002. In 2006 I moved to Chiba, where I currently live now. This past year I have been wanting change, to break out of just modeling in Japan. I have traveled to LA and NY to do some smaller modeling but would love to expand on that.

I am always looking for new friends - other models, photographers, digital editors, or just someone to practice English with. I plan to travel to and from LA, where my parents have a vacation house, a few times a year and would love to colaborate with talented people in the area.


When my friends suggested this site to introduce my work to some very talented people outside my country, I didn't think I would get such a warm welcome - I can't thank you all enough! Please don't hesitate to send me messages, I love reading and responding!

Thanks again,
ARIA
