I would like to share my experience as the parent ...

I would like to share my experience as the parent of a minor child in hopes that it can be helpful for other parents of children interested in modeling. First of all, the 5 star ratings received by Option Model and Media are legitimate. When my daughter signed with this local agency almost 3 years ago, I knew nothing about the industry and was quite apprehensive about her starting a career in modeling. I actually had some negative impressions of the modeling world and was reluctant to support her in pursuit of her modeling dream. Thank goodness my daughter had the good fortune to be signed at Option! Her career is really developing within the Portland market, and she s had all the resources she needs to be successful. All staff members including Nina, Kit, Oscar, Chaz, Candice, and Dennis have been incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, supportive, and most of all, protective of my daughter. It s this last point I wish to emphasize, because my experience has been that when an Option model goes for auditions, shoots, and shows, she is doing so with strict policies and guidelines for personal and professional safety. Beyond that, they are also very experienced in the bigger picture of expanding to other geographic areas and providing guidance and advice for those interested in expanding career paths. The Option team really is family, and their caring and support for their models is genuine. If I could give 10 stars, I would!
