About the model

May Yahya lives in Albert Lea with her husband, Fadi, and her 1 1/2-year-old son, Daniel Yehia. Yahya is a freelance graphic designer and artist and, in her spare time, enjoys dabbling in cooking, baking, fashion, painting and makeup. (She even did her own hair and makeup for our fashion shoot.)

When asked what she thought of modeling for us, Yahya replied, “This was my first modeling experience and I loved it! I just love the camera!”

We would say the camera loves her, as well. 

May’s fashion tips:

1. Try to minimize the number of colors worn at once — no more than three colors per outfit.

2. If you don’t know what to wear, pick your favorite shoes and build on that.

3. Jumpsuits are a wardrobe lifesaver, you don’t have to worry about matching tops and bottoms.
