Pyper America

Hi! I'm Pyper!

For the last 11 years, I have worked as a model all over the world. In Los Angeles, New York, Milan, London, Paris, Iceland, Sweden, Hong Kong, Germany, Brazil and more!

I am so grateful to have been in ads for MAC Cosmetics, Tiffany & Co., Armani, Calvin Klein, Moncler, H&M, Tommy Hilfiger, Furla, OPI, Beats, Target, Superga and to have walked on the runways of Dolce & Gabbana, Moschino, Yeezy, Philipp Plein, Ermanno Scervino and others. I've been featured on many covers and in editorials for Vogue, L'Officiel, Harper's Bazaar, Interview, Vanity Fair, Glamour, and Elle to name a few. I have played bass since the age of 7 and performed on world renowned stages including the infamous Roxy club in Hollywood and at Coachella in my family band, The Atomics.

It's been such an amazing journey I never could have imagined for myself. I have learned so much and want to connect with you and teach you skills in self expression and confidence that I've developed over the last decade! My journey in modeling isn't over, I'm signed with amazing agencies all over the world and will continue to work and play in front of the camera for years to come.

I adore the art of improvisation, performing on set, connecting with others spirit to spirit, discovering what it means to be the most authentic version of myself, personal progression and spirituality.

The skills I've acquired during my years in the industry trickle into all areas of my life. The way I walk into a room and how I hold a conversation, the way I approach casting directors or other authority figures, the ways I attract work and opportunity and so much more. I want to mentor you in the art of modeling, whether you want to become a working talent or you simply want to gain a new confidence in front of the camera or life!

I cannot wait to see you there! XOXOX

Elise Ellison

Hi! I'm Elise! I am a model, self confidence coach, teacher and owner of Rem Blair swimwear.

I have an eclectic background in modeling, social work and studying geographical impact on cultures and health.

From a young age, I participated in many beauty pageants winning the titles of Miss Teen California and first runner up for Miss Utah USA. I have always found power and fulfillment in expressing myself on stage and in front of the camera.

In 2018, I turned my part time passion of modeling into a full time career. I have built great relationships with brands and companies in Utah and love collaborating with my community here. I know I've done my job right after so many of my clients say I'm their customer's favorite model and that they, “Can't help but buy the products she's in.”

Outside of modeling, I worked for years traveling to different community centers teaching people about domestic abuse and educating to uplift people from many different cultural backgrounds. I found that I could use my experience in social work and trauma informed care to connect with other models in my area and build out an intimate self confidence and model coaching program. I held my first workshop in 2021 and I didn't realize how truly impactful it was going to be.

I feel so lucky to know my overall mission in life is to help women. I believe that building inner confidence is only one side of the coin. Learning to love the outward part of ourselves is the other. I am incredibly passionate about mental health and empowering all people, especially women, in positive growth. I am so EXCITED to meet you and help you learn tools to love your inward & outward beauty.
