For a few years we had seen Briley Jones out and about at our local St. Louis Fashion Week shows. Although she was with a local agency, we thought she had a cool look, but felt it was best to leave well enough alone and focus on our models. She ended up walking away from modeling, went to college, and …
In late Spring 2013, we traveled to Hang Out Fest in the Gulf Shores, and not only discovered a few great girls, but also a really special part of the US we had never been to before. The days were long and the sun was scorching but it was all worth it in the end. We spotted a leggy girl …
In all the years of doing this, we have to say, Kelsey was the most determined to be a part of Mother. Kelsey and her amazing mom Debbie first attended our open call, and then listened to our advice and direction. Starting with hair color changes, to getting rid of her tweezers and growing in her full dark brows, to …
A few years back we held an open call in Saint Louis while Jeff was in Europe and a beautiful girl attended who sparked our interest. She looked like a pretty girl in her initial appearance and at first glance, I thought, “Maybe she could be a commercial girl for Chicago.” As I took a closer look, imagined her trimmed …

Before the show in Chicago, we decided to go grab lunch and walk around Woodfield Mall. We did some shopping in Baby Gap, Jeff stepped outside the store, and five minutes later came running in, …
Always up for an adventure, we decided to go spend an afternoon at Holt High School in Wentzville, Missouri for their career day. Surrounded by tables for colleges, military service, technical schools, etc… our Mother Model Management booth stood out to say the least. In those situations, we tend to be overwhelmed with aspiring models wanting to be discovered. Walking through the gymnasium …
A former model of ours sent us a picture of a beautiful girl who lived on a pig farm in Mitchellville, Iowa. We have many, many people who send us pictures of girls and guys they think can possibly model, and 98% of the time it’s not quite what we are looking for. When the email came through to my …
With Jeff in Paris, I ventured out to the St Louis Galleria and had a quick lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. I glanced over and saw a beautiful family with three girls and their Mom, the oldest immediately standing out to me. From the second I met Grace, her enthusiasm, bubbly personality, and stunningly beautiful eyes just blew my mind. …
We first saw Lauren many years ago when our daughter Tiana came back home from touring with Christina Aguilera and did new segment on FOX 2, including coaching the Wentzville Holt dance team. Lauren was on the team and she stood out to us big time! A few years later Lauren attended an open model call we held at The Meadows …
