Chic Models is hoping that everyone is safe and healthy in this crazy time in our world, but we will survive and persevere, just like our April, Model of the Month, Rachel Dorton. Rachel’s journey began in the home of country music, Nashville, Tennessee. It was Rachel’s mother who first sparked her interest in modeling, and at the age of 14, she shot her first print campaign for Journey’s Shoes! Over the next decade, she did shoots for U.S. Soccer Women’s Apparel, Gander Mountain Woman’s Apparel, FitDesk, MJVO Couture Dresses, and Pink Bride Magazine. She did hair shows for Paul Mitchell, commercial’s for Blue Shield, FitDesk, Pal’s Sudden Service Fast Food, and music videos for many big names. But, the best job she ever did was the one where she met her husband, on the set of ABC’s, “Nashville.”
Her life was going great until her mother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and passed away. That really changed her priorities. She became less interested in her old version of “fame” and more interested in making connections with new people. Learning their stories and getting to know them. Rachel homeschools her 3 beautiful children and the family farms their land. She wants to help other young girls learn how to use safe products. From make-up to body wash. She wants to prevent health issues caused by harmful chemicals in our beauty products. Overall, this super-mom wants to use her voice/platform/modeling to bring happiness, joy, healing, encouragement, education, and God’s love to everyone who sees/hears it! Amazing. Her mom is looking down, very proud of her baby.
