OUR STORY

  • “I see the potential in so many people here. I’d love to see West Texas grow in the modeling and pageantry industry. With Model Haus, our clients can learn the importance of perseverance, discipline, and work ethic as I did.”

    Gladys Ornelas, Co-Owner

  • “Being so far from cities with a direct link to [the modeling and pageantry] industries pushed me to create Model Haus for those who don’t have access to those resources. Instead of referring people to go “somewhere else” I wanted to bring that experience to West Texas. I want people of all ages, sizes, and experience levels to feel valued and empowered in a place where their potential is limitless.”
