Dakota
by Angie Workman
 Ademar Young Photography Dakota is a fledgling model that shows great promise. He spends most of his evenings dancing at Labare and was recently featured in one of their photo shoots in Downtown Dallas. He and his friends may get a bit crazy at times, but they definitely know how to have fun. Dakota admits he doesn’t know exactly what he wants to do with his life but says, “I just want a job I love that pays the bills.”
Dakota, a resident Texan, began contemplating a career in modeling at the age of eighteen. He’s brand new to the modeling world, but he already shows amazing potential. He just completed his first photo shoot from Labare, part of which took place in Downtown Dallas. “I really enjoyed the studio aspect more than outdoors, only because you can control the lighting and conditions, but the whole thing was a really great experience.”
When he’s not modeling, Dakota is a self-described night owl. “I’m not up too much during the daytime. I’ve been dancing at Labare for almost a year now, so I’m pretty active at night. I can’t say I really enjoy the job, but it’s good money.”
 Ademar Young Photography This male model credits his family and friends as being his biggest source of inspiration as well as his support group. “When anything bad happens, my friends are always there for me. There’s never a lot of drama with us; I just have great friends. Sometimes we get a little crazy. We tend to exaggerate stuff and sometimes take things too far.”
Dakota is a dedicated model and remains conscientious about maintaining his body and looks. “I work out a lot, and dancing definitely helps keep me in shape. I also tan, or at least try to. I’ll still have a good time; I’ll go to bars with my friends, but I keep in shape and stay healthy.”
 Ademar Young Photography He’s not currently dating anyone, but Dakota likes to have a good time when he takes a girl out. “Movies are always fun for dates, and so is going out to eat. Sometimes I’ll take a girl bowling or to play games. It really just depends on the girl’s interests; I like to do something I know she’ll enjoy.”
“To be honest,” Dakota tells me, “I don’t know exactly what I want to do with my life. I’d like to see where modeling takes me. At the end of the day, I just want to be independent. I want a job that I love doing and that pays the bills.”
