Attracted by Rayder's charisma, Meisel booked her for a photo session, which became the first of many. Rayder's first session were soon featured in the magazine Italian Glamour.
Following her success, Rayder traveled to Miami Beach, New York, Paris, London, and Milan, working for a number of agencies such as Company, Women Model Management, Page 305, City Models, Take Two, Storm, and Why Not. Her advertisement portfolio includes Givenchy, Valentino, Lagerfeld, Chanel, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, DKNY, The Gap, and Tommy Hilfiger.
