Riley Harrington (@rileyharrington._)

Hailing from the rugged edges of Homer, Alaska, Riley Harrington is proof that the best things come from the wild. She’s traded the frontier for a life fueled by high-voltage energy and authentic connections, whether she’s chasing a Pacific sunset or lost in the rhythm of an intriguing track.

Courtney Devine (@devinecourtneyjo_)

A nurse who’s deep in doctoral studies to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner, Courtney Devine is a dedicated architect of mental health advocacy and female empowerment. When she isn’t leading the charge in healthcare entrepreneurship, this mother of two is finding her flow on horseback or hitting the coast.

D’Ereka (@amazed_beauty)

A hometown girl with southern charm and global ambition, D’Ereka has been chasing the lens since she could walk, turning a lifelong passion for modeling into a masterclass in confidence. When she’s not commanding the camera, she’s likely in the boxing ring or putting in hard-run miles on the pavement.

Jesi Wilkerson (@taura.taura)

Jesi Wilkerson is a staple of Portland’s creative scene. A veteran stylist with an astute eye for hair, makeup, and wardrobe, Wilkerson moves seamlessly from the high-pressure wings of a runway to the center of the spotlight. Whether she’s creative-directing a vision or taking the lead in a music video, her mission remains singular: elevate every subject to their ultimate, most magnetic self.

Charlotte (@iamrussiancream)

For Charlotte, modeling isn’t just about the shot—it’s an exercise in intentionality and authentic self-expression. A devotee of the balanced life, she finds her edge through fitness and her peace through travel, always moving with a quiet, inspiring confidence.
