It was at this point in her life that Barby got serious about her career in adult entertainment. In 2003 she performed in 10 movies and things only got better from there. Barby has appeared on the covers of several men's magazines, including Hustler, Club, and Penthouse, for which she was Penthouse Pet of the Month in June, 2003.

Her half-sister Kimberly Franklin (same father) is also a pornstar. The two of them have appeared on camera having sex with each other.

Barby married male pornstar Julian on March 5, 2005, who was 11 years her senior. Her husband has performed under the names Julián Ríos, Julián Ruíz, Julian Andretti or Jordan Rivers.

Just a few weeks after getting married on April 1, 2005 it was announced by Vivid Entertainment that they had just signed Barby for a two year exclusive contract, making Barby the first Vivid Girl from Montreal.

But the moment she signed her contract with Vivid Entertainment it became official, she would legally from that point on be known as Lanny Barby.
