She grew up in bonnets and smocks, but now Kate Stoltz is more comfortable in something slightly skimpier.
The 23-year-old, who starred in TLC's Breaking Amish in 2012, has posed in lingerie for a series of racy photographs as she embarks on a modeling career in New York City.
Stoltz left her community in Pennsylvania in 2012 to film the reality television show, which followed a group of Amish and Mennonite youngsters as they had their first taste of modern life in New York.
And it's a life that seems to suit Stoltz, who was always vocal about her desire to be a model. But she admitted her mother and bishop father aren't so happy with her career choice.

'They know what I am doing but they... avoid the subject,' Stoltz told the New York Post.
Stoltz has been signed by Major Model Management and has since taken part in magazine shoots - including for Maxim - and at New York Fashion Week, modeling designs by Cesar Galindo.
But she says that this latest photo shoot is her most revealing.
'A year ago, I never would have done a lingerie shoot,' she said. 'I don't know if I've become more comfortable with myself or with the idea.'

Stoltz, who was born Kate Stoltzfus, explained that she's used to wearing fancy underwear because it's one of the few treats the Amish women are allowed.
She said: 'My aunt once said, "I can't wear nice dresses, but a good pair of underwear always makes me feel like I look good, even if I'm the only one that knows it!"'
Stoltz, who is single, is slowly settling into modern society and is getting to grips with her iPhone and social networking sites, where she shares selfies and modeling snaps with fans.
Although she says she does not have a television, she is soon to appear on a spinoff show, Return to Amish, which begins in June.

The photo shoot isn't the first time she's broken the rules of the strict faith.
During Breaking Amish, she was forced to admit she had been arrested for a DUI before the show.
Blogs also revealed she had previously submitted images to modeling agencies - which is at odds with the Amish stance against photographs, believing they represent 'vanity' which they deem a sin.
Online records show that Kate posted a photograph on exploretalent.com to enter a Best Smile contest in 2010 - years before she claimed she gave up her Amish life to move to the city.
