As part of the #OPPSenior Model Program, the models get to participate in The Fashion Model Experience.

Emily from Prosper High
"The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides." - Audrey Hepburn Emily chose to have her shoot take place both in her hometown, Prosper, and in downtown Dallas to add an urban, contemporary feel. For her hometown shoot, we used the small "downtown" area the signature Prosper silos as a backdrop.
