I was encouraged by family and friends to get my 3 yo son into modeling. I didn't know where to start but I came across Melissa's business page via social media. I had the pleasure of booking a consultation soon after. She was flexible, kind, and thorough. She explained the in's and out's of agency work; answering all of my questions along the way. I felt well equipped to start this journey with her guidance!  
If you haven't booked yet, I highly recommend the 1hr long consultation!
Thanks so much Melissa! I can't WAIT to speak with you again if/when my son is selected!

Hi, I am Melissa Reeves.

 I am the Founder of  Talented and Thriving. In 2018, I signed my son with an agency for print modeling.

He began booking jobs within his second week.  After a month of booking jobs, and sharing his journey on social media. Parents began asking me for help to get their children representation.

I enjoyed sharing every bit of what I was doing, and I would receive messages back that my advice helped! I literally smile with happiness when I am able to help a parent, and I bubble over with joy once I see their ad campaigns posted.

FAQ Time - Answers to Your Questions

Generally, agents look for children who are animated and outgoing. They also look for children who can follow instructions well and are patient.

There may be a number of reasons from the the application, to the digital images that you sent. Sometimes, the agency may have enough talent with a similar look as your child.

Yes. Work hours are typically during the week and on weekdays. If your child is booked, you will have to excuse them out of class for that day, and also make arrangements in your schedule to accommodate.

NOTHING. A reputable agency will not ask you to pay fees to join their agency.
