Model Casting

I
f you follow me on Facebook (which you should by the way..rude) -- then you know I often post Model Castings -- looking for confident girls (and sometimes couples) to come out and model for my mentoring sessions!!!! Sadly, I've had some issues in the past with models backing out at the last minute, not showing up period or not even contacting me. Because I take my business seriously, and because my 'mentees' have entrusted me to teach them during their mentoring session, I simply cannot have models doing this anymore. 
 
SO.... things will be a little differently here on out -- I am in the process of creating a 'trusted' model list!!! You do not have to be the stereotypical model... in fact you can have bumps all over your face for all I care (heh).... I'm not judgmental when it comes to that mess! 
 
You will be required to sign a 'I'm going to show up contract' and pay a REFUNDABLE fee of 25.00. You will receive your 25.00 once you show up for your scheduled date!!! But if you don't show up -- me and my mentee are going out for ice cream on YOU! =) 
 
Here ARE the requirements: 
 
MUST be reliable... dependable.. and any other trustworthy word you can think of. 
MUST be confident and comfortable in front of the camera.. being nervous is one thing, but being self-defeating is another. 
Must not complain during the shoot. Appreciate your free pictures yo and dress warm if you get cold easily. 
Must be willing to accept free pictures as a thank you. 
Must be cooperative and 'posable'.  
Must be punctual. 
Must be flexible in case of weather. 
Must have a willing parent sign a release in the event you're under the age of 18. 
 
If you fit these requirements I would LOVE for you to send me an email.... 
 
--Subject Line: Model Application 
--Send me 3 recent photos: a close up - a personality shot - a full length (and you are not being 'judged' on looks, solely looking for confidence and personality) 
--Include a copy of your schedule -- when you're available, etc 
--Please include your age/location and if you're in a relationship... would your 'love' be willing to model for a couple's shoot?!?!! If so, include a 4th picture of the both of you with his contact info! 
--And please include your contact information, specifically your Facebook Page (because I will friend you, I'm creepy like that LOL) and your phone number!
