She’s traded Alpine vistas for the high-stakes world of modeling, fueled by a relentless drive to turn “small-town dreams” into a global reality.

Now calling the concrete canyons of New York City home, Kenna Wilson isn’t just an actor—she’s a force of nature. With a creative compass pointed toward raw, human storytelling and a passion for collaborating with female visionaries, Wilson brings exceptional depth to artful images.
Marian Zerpa (@soymarian_)
Whether she’s carving through fresh powder on the slopes or catching the sunset from a white-sand beach, Marian Zerpa’s life is best lived outdoors. A true citizen of the world, Zerpa’s DNA is woven with a passion for avant-garde fashion and the pulse of live music.
Stevie (@steviesss81)
A proud mother of three with the discipline of an elite athlete, Stevie is “doing it all” with style. She thrives while grinding a high-intensity workout but knows exactly how to master the art of the slow-down when Sunday rolls around.

Confident, spirited, and undeniably electric, Sofia is a masterclass in positive energy. She lives life at the intersection of wellness and pure fun, always carrying a smile that commands the room and eyes that tell a story.
