Recently, there has been a lot of talk in the media about Miley Cyrus’ latest nude photoshoot for Paper Magazine where she posed with her pet pig Bubba Sue and revealed that she is bisexual. However, Rachel Devine, a photographer who had previously worked with the singer, remembers her as an innocent and young girl named Destiny Hope Cyrus. She was often known as ‘Smiley Miley’ due to her enchanting smile. In some previously unseen pictures taken by Devine in Los Angeles in 2004, an 11-year-old Destiny portrayed confidence and charm while showcasing her feminine style with pigtails.
When she was still called Destiny Hope Cyrus, an 11-year-old girl participated in a modelling session in 2004. The photographer, Rachel, clearly remembered how friendly and cheerful the girl was during the shoot. Rachel also mentioned that the girl preferred to be called Miley, which is where her moniker originated. To ensure Rachel wouldn’t forget her preferred name, Miley even wrote it in quotes on her card. These pictures were taken around the same time when Miley scored her big break as Miley Stewart in the famous Disney series, Hannah Montana, which aired from 2006 to 2011.
Jumping for joy: These exclusive photos capture a confident 11-year-old Destiny, flashing a charming smile and wearing adorable pigtail braids while posing for the camera.
Rachel Devine, a skilled photographer, managed to take stunning photos of a young woman before she gained fame in the modelling world during their first photo session.
These images capture the time when Miley Cyrus hit the big time with her starring role in the beloved Disney channel series, Hannah Montana. In the show, she portrayed the lead character, Miley Stewart, and it aired for five seasons between 2006 and 2011.
A Melbourne-based photographer, Rachel, fondly remembers the early talent of Miley Cyrus in front of the camera before her controversial 2013 MTV VMAs performance that made her worldwide famous. Rachel currently operates a photoblogging website called Sesame Ellis and reminisced about Cyrus’ humble beginnings. Cyrus had officially changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus in 2008 and had talked about her excitement for her first significant role during one of their photoshoots. Although Rachel is not entirely sure, she believes Cyrus had been filming for one season when they had their shoot, and the star was just starting to make a name for herself.
Rachel remembers chatting with Miley about how thrilled she was to secure her first significant acting gig. It was evident that Miley had significant ambitions and lofty goals.
The photographer remarked that Miley was a breeze to work with and had more eagerness to pose for the shoot than her parents did when they accompanied her.
Destiny: It was clear from a young age that the child had a strong desire to pursue a career in entertainment.
The photographer shared her thoughts on Miley Cyrus, stating that she always thought she was talented and destined for success. However, the photographer was surprised to see how big of a global icon Miley had become. When they first met, Miley was excited about the upcoming show, but they didn’t talk about any grand plans. Nonetheless, Rachel noticed Miley’s friendly and welcoming demeanor, which made her a great fit for the entertainment industry. Even so, Rachel never could have predicted the immense triumphs Miley would attain in her career.
At the start, the filming took place before Miley’s appearance on the Disney channel.
During her early years, the young and ambitious Rachel expressed a strong desire to accomplish remarkable feats. She was a photographer who worked with child stars and had the ability to differentiate between those who were genuinely passionate about pursuing a career and those who were merely there because their parents wanted them to be. Rachel remembers a group of kids who were enthusiastic, delighted and keen to participate, while another group seemed forced by their parents. Of all her clients, the We Can’t Stop artist stands out as the most successful in the entertainment industry. Rachel’s profession spanned over two decades and included four published photography books with a particular emphasis on child photography.
Since she was young, it was clear from her photos that Destiny was destined for fame. Rachel thinks that no star can compare to the outrageously talented Miley Cyrus, who has always had what it takes to be great. Rachel is taken aback by the major transformations Miley has undergone as she has grown up in front of the world, but she is never surprised by her success because Rachel always knew she had it in her.
Miley Cyrus has been in the public eye for over a decade now and has become a well-known figure worldwide.
The photographer fondly remembers Miley Cyrus as a youngster, reflecting on how she was always wearing braids and curls, dressed in kid-appropriate clothing, and without makeup. The photographer recalls her as a genuine and sweet child who occasionally wore some lip gloss. She acknowledges that while Miley’s recent stunts and controversial online behavior have not been endorsed, she still holds onto the affection she had for the former childhood celebrity. Now based in Melbourne with her family, the blogger remains a fan of Miley, despite her current behavior.
While sifting through some aged snapshots, Rachel indulged in a walk down memory lane and couldn’t help but gush about the cuteness of the little girl captured in them. It’s almost unfathomable to think that a mere 11 years have elapsed since those pictures were taken, given all the transformations that have taken place since then. Nevertheless, it’s astounding to witness how much an individual can develop and mature in just over a decade. Rachel admires this person immensely and wishes for her contentment. She perceives her as a remarkable and captivating personality, and it’s heartening to see her contributing positively to society.
At the moment, Miley Cyrus has become a sensation all around the world and she was recently spotted in New York just a few days ago.
Before her breakout role in Hannah Montana, this up-and-coming talent had already dipped her toes in the modeling world with her first photoshoot three years prior to the show’s debut in 2007. Her star continued to rise as she emerged as a beloved Disney princess.
