Answers to Q&A
What INSPIRED you to become a model?
A friend of our family is a photographer. She needed a model so she asked me to do a shoot and get some digitals done. My mom had those pictures on her phone one day when she was talking to her work colleague, Kaitie, who is also a model and scout. Kaitie saw them and asked if I would be interested in coming to a test shoot. I went and it was great. Peggi LePage signed me right after that test shoot.
What are you most excited about when it comes to modeling?
I’m at the beginning, so I’m excited about everything. Modeling pulls on a whole side of me that I wouldn’t otherwise use. I grew up playing sports and living in a small city, where everyone wants to be a hockey player or go to the NBA. This is totally different. I get to be creative and work with people who I might not otherwise get the chance to meet.
Can you share with us some advice you have for models wanting to get into the industry?
I’m just getting started, so I find the hardest part is just walking through the door. My advice is to just take a deep breath and walk through that door! My best shoots so far have been the ones where I can bring my personality to them. That’s also good advice I got – it’s about who you are as much as it is about how you look. Also, be professional, always.
share a fun fact about yourself!
After high school I took a year off to go to France and improve my French, and then travelled to Malta, Italy and Greece. I want to travel more but it’s going to have to wait until I’m finished university. I’m in the business program at Laurier.
