And So It Begins...

Modeling had always seemed fun to me. It was one of those dreams where you think, "Wow, that would be really awesome, but how do I get there?"

I was scouted right after my band had played at a Girl's Expo. There were plenty of booths set up in the ballroom, but I must've missed the modeling agency. After standing in my band's signature red high heels for hours I climbed off the stage, ready to take them off. Right as I slipped on some more comfortable flats, I heard my mom call for me. 

I headed over to where she stood with a woman. She told me, "I was just asking your mother how tall you were." I was definitely confused.  Most people don't start a conversation with, "How tall is your daughter?" But right then it hit me. I started smiling as she introduced herself as a scout from a local agency. She asked me if I had ever modeled before and if I was interested in it. I was so happy I must have looked crazy smiling that big. Eventually, we set up a meeting the next week.

The meeting went great. After my mom and I asked many questions about the agency and opportunities, we felt satisfied that it was a safe, great road to take. I was measured at 5"8' 1/2 and was handed a JANI contract. I can't even explain how excited I was. The next step was discussing if I really wanted to do it and begin this new adventure in my life.  

Stay tuned for my next post, including the complications with another agency...
