Plus make sure her parents are involved with all decisions. Modeling is not as easy as you think and they have to have the looks and the determination to stay in this field. If you live near any major city there might be a modeling agency there. But a lot of the big agencies are in LA, NYC, Chicago and Atlanta because most of the major clothes designers and advertisers are in those areas. Also you don't have to have an agent or agency. Most of the time they think about themselves first not you, if another model will get them more money they will send her to that shoot, not all are bad but some are so you have to be care full what you do. Why don't you look at this website and look over some of the portfolios in there (models and photographers). Get some professional images shot to start, then find a couple of photographers in your area that you like their style of work and then contact a couple of them and see if they would be interested in doing a TFP (Time For Prints) or TFCD (Time For CD). In other words you supply your time as a model he / she as a photographer and you get images in return. She will have to sign a model release so that she and the photographer can use the images. In her case since she is under 18 she will be required to have a parent sign for her. http://www.asmp.org/commerce/legal/relea... If she does join as a model she should not just go with the beginners portfolio but at least silver level and update regularly. http://www.onemodelplace.com Take a look at this one and read their FAQ it will give you many answers. http://www.fordmodels.com/main.cfm......... Hope this helps, Kevin She can start modeling at 15 but make sure that continuing an education is more important because good looks do not last forever.

I used to drive a cab and tourists would comment on how nice people are and how many tats they had. I hadn't thought about it until then but, Portlander's do seem to get tats just to have them. I guess more ink = more better. Personally I don't think should get a tattoo of a turtle just because they went to Cancun on vacation. I think the tat should have more meaning. It is, however, good for business. Anyone have a differing idea. I'd be glad to hear it. How much is too much tattooing.
