Today we’d like to introduce you to Lily Rae.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Lily. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I’ve been modeling for about four years now. I started back in 2016, after having my second daughter. My start was with Cowtown hotties, a promotional modeling service based in ft. worth tx. Back then, I didn’t really have an image because I was still trying to figure myself out. I finally figured out my style last year and that is vintage pin up. I try to do everything, but pin up is my absolute favorite style to the model. The community is incredibly supportive for all women of every size, shape, and ethnicity. I got where I am today with a lot of self promoting on Facebook and Instagram. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how it was going to go, but I’m steadily making my name known through ft.—worth and surrounding areas.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Modeling has been actually very smooth sailing. The struggles that I’ve had to get over have been my divorce through the whole thing. Support in this business is a HUGE deal. When I started modeling, the attention I was getting caused a new side of my ex-husband to come out. And it was a side that was definitely not something that anyone should have to deal with. But with the help of my friends, I got through it all and continued to pursue this career.
Please tell us about your business.
I specialize in vintage pin up. I’ve done almost every style but when I run into fans, they always remember and recognize me from my vintage shoots. Honestly the thing I’m most proud is the support that I’ve found through the pin up community and the photographer I’ve gotten to work with. They’re absolutely amazing.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I’m actually not a very lucky person, Haha. But I would say that I’ve been lucky meeting the people that I have through starting my modeling.
