I started modeling just recently after getting a Bachelor's Degree in Music at Barry Universtity. I was born in New York City and grew up in France. I am 27 years old. As a child I always loved to be in front of the camera because it felt so natural to me, I have always been a performer and I really enjoy anything artistic and creative.
Caitlin
My name is Caitlin and am a plus size model. Originally from New Jersey, my job takes me to many places around the world. I enjoy activities such as ice hockey, horseback riding, and spending summers at the Jersey Shore. I've always been passionate about modeling. Being an athlete and a plus size model, I am conscious of the physical demands of both. In the modeling industry I hope to promote an image to younger girls that they do not have to be overly thin or avoid athletics to be comfortable and look good in their own skin.
Kelly
I've always had a strong desire to model. I gave it a shot when I was younger but unfortunately it never worked because of my curvier figure. I was lucky enough to have a friend direct me to Dorothy Combs Modeling Agency which caters to the full figured models. I'm lucky enough to work without having to change my body. Its all been a blessing. Along with modeling I enjoy music, discovering new bands, genres, etc. I LOVE great food, great wine and interesting conversation with friends, new and old.

Kasia has loved all things beauty and fashion related from a very young age and always knew she’d have a career in the fashion industry. She began modeling in her hometown of Chicago, and a spontaneous move to New York City quickly followed, where she has worked with many large print, editorial and television clients. In NYC, she has also worked in many aspects of the fashion industry in addition to modeling, including as a professional makeup artist and a freelance fashion/beauty writer. Kasia now lives and works in New York City, and travels often to Miami and Chicago, along with other exciting locations. She loves traveling, speaks three languages (and is trying to learn a few more!), and can’t wait to see more of the world!

She is also studying acting to develop her talent, which she has always loved and wants to pursue. Kasia loves spending time with family and friends, dancing, working out, reading, shopping, music, movies and of course, modeling!!
Molly
My name is Molly and I have been a full figured model for 8 yrs. I started modeling right after high school and have had an amazing career ever since. This career has enabled me to meet talented artists, travel all over the world, and eat too!! When I am not working I enjoy going to antique/ flea markets, interior decorating, going to the beach, cooking for dinner parties, doing charity work and spending time with family and friends. I spend equal time in Miami Beach FL and NYC so I get to enjoy city life in the summer as well as the relaxed lifestyle on the beach in the winter. Staying healthy by eating well, taking vitamins, and working out is also very important to me. I try to workout or be active everyday. This keeps my skin and body looking good for me and clients.

I started dreaming of being a model when I met photographer, Arthur Elgort, at a bookstore in Easthampton when I was 12. He told my mother that she had "a future supermodel on her hands.”That was during the heyday of supermodels like Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford, so I was thrilled! However, as my body matured, my modeling aspirations became a thing of the past because I realized I would never have the required "stick thin" look to be a top model. In high school, I was tall and an athlete-the captain of my soccer, basketball and track teams, but there was no way I was ever going to be a skinny runway model and lose my athletic shape. Excelling at sports and getting good grades in order to get into a good college were my priorities. After high school, I began studying accounting at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, IN and had a wonderful college experience there! While I was home in New York on fall break during my freshman year at Notre Dame, I met an art director who asked if I was a plus-size model, and I said "no". I had never even heard of "plus modeling”and before I knew it I was signed with my agency!I modeled all through college, and since graduating from Notre Dame I have been a full-time model living in New York City, traveling all over the world and promotinghealthy body images!
