Kanya, who was adopted by parents in Portland, Oregon, when she was five, doesn’t shy away from having her picture taken in her skivvies, and said she’d never been shy for photos.

‘I just love being in front of the camera,’ she said. ‘Ever since I was little, I would take pictures a lot just to have fun and show my life story.’
