Meet Emma Reese

Today we’re excited to be connecting with Emma Reese again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Emma, always such a pleasure connecting with you and thank you for sharing your stories, insights and inspiring messages with our community. We’re looking forward to getting the download and what you have been up to since our last interview, but first can you briefly introduce yourself to folks who might have missed the prior conversation.
My name is Emma Reese, and I’m a 25-year-old professional model currently signed with Wolves Management in Denver and Reinhard Agency in Philadelphia. I’ve been modeling since 2018, specializing in runway, lifestyle, editorial, and e-commerce work. Growing up in Colorado, where I’ve lived since I was five, I was surrounded by a creative and talented family that inspired my passion for self-expression and ultimately drove me to pursue modeling.
One of the highlights of my career has been walking in New York Fashion Week multiple times, which has been a dream come true and a testament to how hard work and perseverance can open incredible doors. What sets me apart is my dedication to versatility and authenticity in my work, whether I’m walking the runway, bringing a brand’s vision to life, or connecting with audiences through editorial storytelling. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with amazing teams and brands, which has shaped my journey in meaningful ways. I’m deeply passionate about constantly evolving as a model and staying adaptable, which I believe has been key to my success so far.

Awesome, so we reached out because we wanted to hear all about what you have been up to since we last connected.
Since our last conversation, so much has happened, and I’m really excited to share all the updates! Professionally, one of the biggest highlights has been recently signing with the Reinhard Agency in Philadelphia, which has opened up some incredible opportunities. Through my Denver agent I’ve been working a lot with Neiman Marcus, which has been such a rewarding experience, and I’ve had the chance to travel for fashion shows and collaborate with some truly amazing photographers. It’s been a whirlwind, but I’m so grateful for how my career continues to evolve.
On the personal side, life has been equally exciting! Over the summer, I started a new relationship, and I can honestly say I’m so happy and in love—it’s been such a beautiful chapter for me. I’ve also been traveling a ton to some amazing places, including Croatia for Yacht Week in August, which was unforgettable. Recently, I even learned how to ski, which has been such a fun and challenging experience!
In addition to modeling and travel, I’m still in school, working toward my degree in English, which is a huge passion of mine. Balancing school, work, and life can be a challenge, but it’s so rewarding to see everything come together. I’m also nannying here and there for a few different families, which has been a lot of fun.
It’s been a season of growth, adventure, and love, and I’m excited for all the opportunities and memories ahead.

What are you most excited about in the coming year?
In the coming year, I’m most excited about all the travel I have planned. I am also very excited to be standing by my best friend’s side as she gets married in March—it’s going to be such a beautiful moment. On a personal note, my boyfriend and I are currently long-distance, so I’m counting down the days until he moves to Denver and we finally get to live together in the early summer. I’m also so excited to see what God has in store for both of us in this next chapter of our relationship.
I’m really looking forward to exploring new opportunities with my agency in modeling and seeing what exciting projects and experiences come my way. It’s always incredible to see how the industry evolves and to challenge myself in new ways.
