MODEL OF THE MONTH: EMMA HOLLEY
"In the past I've been asked to be in a music video, shoot with various photographers to help build their portfolios, and many other things unachievable by someone lacking time or creativity. I wanted a way to gather up everything and make myself accessible to anyone! Whatever visions or ideas you have, I can help make them reality. I have never declined a task and have never come across something out of my comfort zone. Please challenge me."
