Jenae Noonan in Modelz View Magazine
Model: Jenae Noonan; Photographer: Marty Wachi
Jenae Noonan was recently published in Modelz View Magazine. This feature is the result of her work with talented and highly published photographer Marty Wachi. What’s amazing about this collaboration is that they met through a casting call on Model Mayhem. Jenae is a very experienced model based in Los Angeles, California. In addition to being a model, she is also a USA National MMA 120 lbs Champion. Jenae travels a lot and loves to shoot with new photographers wherever she goes. She enjoys working on new and exciting ideas while showcasing her creative side. We can’t wait to see her in another magazine!
Kelli Kickham in Femme Rebelle Magazine
Model: Kelli Kickham; Photographer: Jessica A Robles; Makeup Artist: Thirati Kay
Kelli Kickham was recently published in Femme Rebelle Magazine. This feature is the result of her work with talented photographer Jessica A Robles. Thirati Kay did the makeup and temporary tattoos for the shoot. Kelli is a beautiful and very experienced model based in Los Angeles. She is signed with M Model Management. Kelli’s portfolio is filled with gorgeous images. This is definitely not her first time getting published and we are sure that we will see her in another magazine in the near future.
Leigh Hutchinson overcomes homelessness to become a model
Model: Leigh Hutchinson
Leigh Hutchinson’s story is definitely an inspiration to everyone who may be dealing with challenges in life. In her forum post on Model Mayhem, Leigh discusses how she was kicked out from home when she was eighteen years old and found herself homeless, living on the streets.. Leigh was feeling mentally broken, had nowhere to go and nothing to eat. However, she did not give up on life. Instead, Leigh buckled down and got to work. Little did she know that five years after what appeared to be the worst time in her life, she would be living her dream and modeling full-time. Now, Leigh is representing the City of Birmingham for the Miss Supranational UK competition, raising money for charities, as well as trying to inspire others to help them not give up even when times may feel hard. We wish her continued success.
