Nothing is ever impossible with the right support groups who help to inspire, create and encourage!
Without the amazing team work from all of our models, children, parents, crew members, security guards, photographers and makeup artists…
SMF wouldn’t be where it is today.
Even our families come to help us!
Thank you all for everything, always!
S A M M A R I E
FOUNDER & CEO SMF MODELS | SMF HAUS
INTERNATIONALLY PUBLISHED
PRO FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER
I have modeled all over the country and was extensively trained in runway walking, posing, movement, hip hop dance, acting, figure skating, along with so much more for over 20 years. As a photographer, I’ve been Internationally published on countless occasions for our modeling achievements. Over 300 models have gone through my unique training process and as I continue to enjoy molding new ones to be the best in the industry, they also learn how to become their best selves.
I never fit in when I was younger and honestly turned down multiple acting roles to pursue my own interests. Rejection became all too common for what I wanted to pursue in modeling, as I wasn’t the industry standard height and weight, so changing the industry became my mission back in 2012 and well…. I started SMF!
My goal has always been encouraging people to embrace who they are while exploring the creative world of high fashion such as; posing, expression, and movement.
When someone learns how to confidently present themselves in front of the camera, that confidence often carries into everyday life — that transformation is powerful and I love helping our models on their unique journey.
Here at SMF it doesn’t matter what size you are, you can have tattoos and any hair color you want! Yes, piercings too! I’ve always believed that everyone is unique and has something special to offer this industry. My job consists of finding exactly what that might be and then show the model exactly how to use it, while embracing it and how to project that in all of the best ways.
My vision is for SMF to become a globally recognized agency that is accessible to everyday people — a creative platform for those who want to experience fashion, confidence, growth, and the excitement of exploring something new. Because at the heart of it, this journey is meant to be inspiring, empowering, and fun for all of us.
I look forward to meeting even more amazing individuals who are ready to explore self-love through art, fashion and creative expression.
Xoxx,
Sam Marie
