Tell us about yourself (where are you from, age, whatever you want to add)
Hi! My name is Shannon, I’m 23 and I was born and raised in Fort Hood, Texas! My dad was in the Army for most of my life but we rarely moved around. We were in Germany at one point for a few years but ended up coming back to Texas, so for the majority I grew up here! I’ve always been into photography and found myself actually fond of me being in front of the camera rather than being behind it and thats where I truly started finding myself!
Tell us about your modeling experience.
I’ve modeled in a runway Competition during NYFW quite a few years back and made top 10 out of 200 girls which was pretty exciting given it was my first runway show! There were agencies interested in me at that time but the were located in either New York or LA and at that time I was still in school so I couldn’t just move out there. So instead, I’ve modeled for small business here in Texas and began to work on my portfolio with photographers around the area.
What is your biggest dream?
I would say my biggest dream is to be successful so I can provide for my family.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
Being your own kind of beautiful is being able to express yourself for who you are and knowing your self worth and loving yourself at all cost.
How would you describe your fashion style?
I’d definitely say my fashion style really depends on how I feel that day. I could go from white crop top, leather pants and boots to a more casual style such as a cute tee, skinny jeans and my favorite pair of sneakers.
Who or what inspires you?
I would have to say my parents inspire me the most. They have sacrificed so much for me and are my biggest supporters.
What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
My advice would be to never give up on your dream. As long as you believe and you work hard to achieve your goals, you’ll get through any and every obstacle.
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
An obstacle that has changed and shaped me is actually knowing my true self worth. I struggle with anxiety and I use to compare myself to other girls all the time but I finally realized we were all made to look different and each of us are beautiful in our own way.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
What makes me beautiful is that I have such a fun, caring and loving personality. I always look after my friends and family.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
As someone who has struggled with confidence, I’d definitely say it’s not worth putting yourself down. You are one of a kind and rare. There’s no one in this world that is going to look exactly like you so you should take that and embrace your true self!
