    Meet the Team

    As we rebuild a team during this transition across the country, enjoy your newest model(s).

    Shiann Wilson & Lillian Sarnowski

    Shiann Wilson ● 2026

    Shiann is one of the fresh faces of the Struch Crew, bringing a natural confidence and effortless charm in front of the camera. At just 18, she is new to the modeling world, but what she may lack in experience, she more than makes up for with her enthusiasm, adaptability, and willingness to grow. Shiann approaches every session with an open mind and a genuine sense of fun. She is not afraid to try new ideas, step outside of her comfort zone, and learn as she goes. Watching her confidence build with each shoot has been incredibly rewarding, and she continues to develop her own unique presence and style.


    She represents what the Struch Crew is all about—growth, creativity, and embracing the beauty of the process.

    Lillian Sarnowski ● 2026

    Lillian brings a darker edge to the Struch Crew, blending aesthetics with a confident presence that naturally commands attention. With previous modeling experience, she steps into each shoot with creativity, attitude, and a strong sense of personal style that makes every session feel unique. Her ability to shift between moody, expressive concepts and raw, authentic moments allows her to create imagery that feels both artistic and unapologetically real.

    Beyond the bold makeup, dark fashion, and alternative energy, Lillian brings professionalism, adaptability, and passion to every collaboration. She is unafraid to lean into unconventional ideas, helping turn creative visions into striking visual stories. 


    Her individuality and fearless self-expression embody the heart of the Struch Crew—authenticity, artistry, and confidence without compromise.

    Skylyr Graham ● 2021 - 2026 ● Lead Model

    Some collaborations just click — and mine with Skylyr has been 18 years in the making. When I asked her to model for me back in 2021, she didn’t hesitate — and honestly, neither did I. I knew her versatility, presence, and professionalism would bring something special to the frame. From effortlessly shifting between aesthetics to nailing every pose with intention and precision, Skylyr brings both artistry and energy to every session. Working with her never feels like work — it’s more like co-creating with an old friend who just happens to be insanely photogenic. With Skylyr, the evolution is constant — and so is the inspiration.

    Isabel Steel ● 2022-2026 ● Assistant Lead Model


    You hear stories about magical bar encounters and assume it’s a love story — and in a way, this one is. But instead of romance, it was the start of an unforgettable creative partnership and sisterhood. I met Isabel on a Friday night dance floor, and from that moment on, I knew she was someone special. Like me, Isabel leans into a darker aesthetic — all moody tones and magnetic energy — but what really stands out is the quiet light she carries within. Every session with her is about revealing that contrast: the edge, the softness, the strength, the story. After taking a beautiful break to welcome her newest (and cutest) creation into the world, Isabel returned to the lens in 2025. The glow’s still there, only now it’s a little deeper, a little richer, and absolutely worth capturing.

    Andrew Avalos ● 2023-2025


    In a hive full of queens, Andrew held it down as the reigning king — and trust me, he more than earns the crown. As the only guy in our close-knit creative crew, Andrew brought balance, brilliance, and a whole lot of heart to every shoot. His dedication is unmatched — always showing up, striving to bring my wildest ideas to life with precision and passion. Editorial is his signature vibe, and he absolutely owns it, but never stopped there. Watching him grow in front of the lens has been a joy, and what’s coming next? Even better, I am sure.

    Danielle Chamberlain ● 2025


    Every so often, you cross paths with someone who feels like an instant connection—and that’s exactly how it felt finally meeting Dani. Though we grew up in similar circles, our lives never overlapped until 2024, when I had the absolute pleasure of asking her to model for me. From that first shoot, Dani brought something special: a presence that’s both gentle and powerful, vulnerable and bold. She stepped in front of the camera during a deeply personal chapter—her journey toward self-love—and watching her grow more comfortable in her own skin, session by session, reminds me exactly why I love what I do. It was short lived, our co-creation,  but it was a pleasure working with Dani!

    Elizabeth Bizios ● 2025


    Elizabeth had officially joined the Struch Crew—and then I ended up moving! After years of admiring her from behind the lens—usually with her two sweet little ones and her ever-adoring husband—I finally asked Elizabeth to step into the spotlight herself. And let me tell you, she fit right into our little family of misfits. Don’t let her soft-spoken nature fool you—there’s a creative fire in Elizabeth that absolutely comes alive on set. She brings a quiet strength, an intuitive grace, and a spark of magic that makes every shoot feel fresh and inspired. 

    Maggie Golla ● 2023 - 2024

    Maggie is pure, unfiltered, beautiful chaos — the best kind. She brings a magnetic mix of boldness, spontaneity, and heart to every session, and somehow makes “controlled chaotic energy” feel like an art form. When Maggie’s on set, you know it’s going to be fun, unpredictable, and full of unforgettable moments. In late 2024, Maggie stepped into a whole new role: motherhood. Due to this shift in life, Maggie graciously left. We hope to see her in our galleries and feed again in the future!

    Marissa Bruett ● 2023-2024

    Marissa was an absolute joy to collaborate with. Even though we only had a short time working together, we managed to create an incredible amount of content—each session filled with creativity, beauty, and an effortless flow. The images we produced capture not only her striking presence and versatility as a model, but also the fun energy she brings to every moment, in every room she steps into.
