Elen's Kids Modeling and Talent Agency

The agency may have had success in the past but it's business model today focuses on up-front fees of $400-600 for photographs by its "partner". Same quality of picture you'll get at JCPenney. But if you're immigrant, minority, status you might not know how this game let's played.
We're asked to bring pictures, both parents are required to be there, and you must sign everything in all on one particular day, why? Because,
1. They don't actually care what you look like because they are not concerned about commissions -real agents succeed on commission and they only get paid if you get a job
2. When both parents are there, it's harder to say no when he asks you to pay $600 up front ... Legitimate business will allow you a few days to think about spending that type of money, and the value if any
3. while the owner shows you old images and then tries to convince you that they have recently placed children but there's no way to verify independently
4. when you visit your notice the family is there are new prospects and not existing or successful models. They might not be any at all so it doesn't matter to the business because you won't know any better because you're new to the business.

If you've already paid the money you may be able to get it back because of the cooling period that New Jersey requires. warn other families by leaving a review of your experience. Don't believe me, do a Google search and read the negative reviews?

Terrific, kind, and competent.
