STEPHANIE MANNON
2010 WINNER

AFM: What inspired you to enter the contest?
SM: As a model here in the Arizona industry, I have always admired the elegant and sophisticated fashion spreads in AFM. When I heard that the magazine was holding their first-ever modeling contest, I jumped at the opportunity to enter. I knew that winning a contest like that could really propel my modeling career, and it certainly did.
AFM: Have you pursued a modeling career?
SM: I have been modeling for over six years now and am currently signed with the FORD/Robert Black Agency here in Arizona.
AFM: What have you been up to since winning?
SM: My modeling career took off. I have had the privilege of working on the set of a couple of commercials and a movie starring Will Ferrell. I shot a couple of catalog shoots, magazine spreads and jewelry and eyewear campaigns, walked runways, traveled, etc. All while meeting and networking with some truly amazing artists in the industry.
AFM: What’s next for you?
SM: Well, I became a first-time mommy just this past November! My husband and I have been blessed with a precious baby girl, Isabella Grace. God is so good, and our hearts are just filled to the brim with so much love and joy for this little angel of ours. Who knows, maybe someday we will have a Future Face of the Foothills in the family!
