Meeting Madness

So the end of August and the beginning of September were super hectic. Easton had sent out my pictures from the summer photoshoot and I was getting responses which was crazy! So the first agency that wanted to meet with me was Ford and I could not believe it. Ford is one of the biggest modeling agencies in the world and hundreds of photos get submitted to them everyday so, the fact that they had picked me out was so surreal. It was really hard not to keep things on the down low just because I was so excited. But i didn't want to tell that many people about it and get everyone all rallied up because nothing was for sure. So me and my mom drove out to Hollywood and met with a casting agent. Long story short unfortunately they said they weren't hiring new faces until 2012 ("new face" meaning someone with little to no previous prfessional modeling expirience). It was better than a flat out no! But still a little bit dissapointing. They said they would keep in touch with me and contact me when they start casting again, but we'll see how much truth there is to that ahaha. I met with another agency a week or two later and they were called Wunder Model Managemet, they ended up really wanting to work with me which was amazing to hear (I remember silent screaming and jumping around with my mom once we got in the elevator on the way back to the car)! The last agency I met with was Bleu Model Managment and long story short, they're the ageny that I'm signed with now. I got signed two weeks ago which was UH-mazing and I'm so excited to start working ahhhhh. Here's the link to the new faces page on their website: http://www.bleumodels.com/new_faces.php

But yeah, those few weeks were super hectic because usually I had to get ready for the meeting as soon as I got home from school since we had to drive out to Hollywood (they're all relatively in the same area). My first meeting with Ford was really nervewracking because I had no idea what to expect. But all in all I pretty much had to do the same thing at every meeting. Talk a little bit, fill out a form, take digitals, change into a bathing suit, and for the Wunder meeting I had to walk (which I feel like I could use a lot more practice with). But yeah now I officially have a "job" as a model which is crazy craziness.
