"You do not have to brag about what you do; your humility will speak volumes of your greatness!"

“Beautiful, breathtaking, and charismatic are the first words that come across your mind after a ten second encounter with Ms. Latoya Shanell. The multi-talented entrepreneur and runway model has her sights on taking the fashion and modeling industry by storm in 2008. Her incredible smile and lightning quick business savvy has already set her apart from most of today's upcoming industry models. Because of her busy schedule, AMPS Magazine-Chicago was lucky to catch up with Latoya and speak with her about the vision that has kept her motivated for the past few years.

It is an absolute pleasure to be the first magazine to bring such a beautiful and kind-hearted professional to the spotlight!”

- Mr. Michael N. Hunt, Publisher, AMPS Chicago Magazine

"Latoya Shanell... What a blast I had working with you. I think even if we had not shot 1 image, I would have been ok with the day laughing and just hanging out. Sometimes shooting models is like work but you had me laughing from the moment we first met. Attitude means a lot to me and yours was A+++. Once again thanks for being you. It means a lot."
-Kelvinbushan Photography Atlanta, Georgia


"Latoya is an outstanding model. Not only does she follow direction very well and photograph exceptionally, her personality and good spirit are truly inspiring. I am glad to have had the opportunity on several occasions to work with her and am very honored to call her friend."
- Mr. Greg Sayles, Sayles Photography
