Are you as excited as we are for our August Fashion Look Book of The WC Press? Today, we are in our photographer’s studio with our models, Dina and Bri.
Dina, who is modeling a dress from Blink today, has been modeling in Harrisburg for the past year. She actually found this passion for modeling serendipitously through an old, best friend, Titanjila. After reconnecting in high school, Dina’s friend messaged her on Facebook and said she had just picked up a photography.
“And she asked me if I wanted to be one of her first models,” Dina explained. “So I become her muse.”
Since then, Dina has modeled in Harrisburg, Philadelphia, and Landover, Maryland, but this is her first time in the West Chester area.
“I just like how friendly and inviting you are,” Dina continued. “People are really what makes the opportunity so much better. You still have fun, and it’s great that you’re all very sweet.”
When she’s not modeling, Dina enjoys painting self portraits and nature landscapes on canvases, a habit she picked up last winter.
Bri, our model for Kaly Clothing today, also did not expect to be a model. She was working at Amore Pizza in West Chester at the time, when she started a conversation with Steve, the owner of May 23.
“He said he was looking for models,” she explained. “And he asked me if I wanted to model. I said, ‘yeah, that sounds fun!”
That was seven years ago. Since then, Bri has done a variety of shoots for them inside photographer studios and outside around parks and creeks. She also started modeling with us about five years ago.
When she’s not modeling, she’s bartending at Righteous Tap House, working as a veterinary assistant at the West Chester Veterinary Hospital, and she is currently attending Harcum College for veterinary technology.
“I love working with animals,” Bri provided.
