Annaka is an actress/model who was referred to me by Kirk Jones for a portfolio shoot. She's worked on the NBC series "Grimm" which is filmed here in Portland, she's worked with the Travel Channel, and modeled for Harley Davidson.

After some brainstorming with David Weaver, we came up with a forested scene involving a bathtub and a Native American look for Annaka. She's often asked to play a Native American because of her Dutch-Indonesian heritage. She also describes herself as "odd" so we juxtaposed the elements. We had a fun time shooting in a wooded area of the Pittock Mansion where Annaka also happens to work. Pay her a visit at the mansion and you'll see her signature pink scooter parked outside.

I hope these photos along with Annaka's natural enthusiasm will open many doors for her.
