I am a model's mom, and have taken my teen to almost 30 shoots in the past 8 months. Luckily, (knocking on wooe), all experiences have been good to fantastic!!!
The problem we are running in to: not getting the pictures from the photographers!!! I am waiting for one CD from January, two from Feb, two from March & one from April, heck, my kid doesn't look like she did back in Jan, what good will the pics be, if & when we get them.
Why do photographers waste our time?? and yes, there is considerable time invested in each shoot, plus MUA and Stylist at times, and the shopping you do before a shoot, for fresh outfits!!!!

I'm 19 now but when I started I was 16 and unfortunately I let my self get pushed around and talked into going places and meeting people I really shouldn't have. I fell for the old "I can really make things happen for you" line. She was a friend of a friend in the industry so I went along with what she told me and after a few months I found I was not going anywhere, and all she was interested in was me joining her and her husband in bed. Although I was never forced into anything, I still feel that she was way in the wrong for manipulating a 16yr old into intimacy with her and her husband. With nothing happening with my career I left her and started out on my own.

I remember having to lose weight to become a corset model and it was horrible. I looked so unpleasant in it and I was starving to death. I didnt know why I wanted to do it but I guess it just helps me cross another thing off my to do list.
