Describe yourself in 3 words.

Shelby Marie Nicole

Confident. Passionate. Dedicated.

Were you excited to shoot for playboy?

Absolutely! I was so excited to shoot for playboy. It’s been a goal of mine since I got into modeling and now it’s finally here.

What was it like starting out as a model?

It has been such a great experience. I started in 2016 and I’ve learned so much and have networked with so many amazing photographers, makeup artists, and designers. Starting out I focused on building my portfolio and learning poses and runway.

What would you consider to be your biggest challenge as a model so far?

My biggest challenge was being able to market myself in print since I’m so small. I’m only 5’2 so being able to do runway or certain print work has been a challenge since most designers wants girls 5’8 or taller but I’ve found great modeling work in shooting swim, Boudoir, jewellery and commercial.
