*Please note I have slimmed down since most of my photos and require some new work to better reflect my current size.*

Coming in to this world in 1987, Yael Perez has roots in Canada, Morocco, Israel and Romania. Born and raised in Montreal, she started her modeling career by posing for some friends who were taking photography classes. Something about being in front of the lens captivated her and, after receiving a lot of encouragement from friends and family, she decided to jump into the modeling world more seriously.

Every photo and every goal she reaches is in memory of her beautiful and courageous Mom. Her passing from cancer in late 2009 was one of the major catalysts that pushed Yael into pursuing her career dreams.

Now, at the age of 29, she already has some more ambitious experience under her belt - modeling for Reitmans Canada from May 2011 to August 2012 for the web catalogues of Addition-Elle, Penningtons and MXM. Although the photos did not show her face, it allowed her to get a foot in the door and gain more of the confidence needed to pursue a career in fashion. She has since represented local designers on and off the runway, most notably for Sonia Levesque Design.

Always continuing to grow and evolve, Yael has taken her plus size modeling career even further by producing her own size inclusive events (fashion shows, burlesque shows, etc) Some of the events had their profits donated to local charity ANEB Quebec to provide support for people suffering from eating disorders. Continuously battling for positive body image, size diversity and size acceptance, Yael promises to do amazing things!

When it comes to personal and creative projects, Yael has a great love for all things Burlesque and Pin-Up. Her favorite photo shoot style, after creative fashion, would have to be boudoir! She does pinup modeling and burlesque dancing under the stage name Miss Meow. for more information on those endeavors, check out www.missmeowburlesque.com
