Scouted and Booked

I love to have the time to scout for talent for a specific job.  The feeling of searching, finding, and ultimately booking the person you found hanging at the mall, or walking down the street, or shopping in the grocery store.  It is a mutual good feeling.


 I had that same chance with a casting for Hasbro looking for a mother/daughter model team for their next campaign.

I met Lenna and her daughter Kiley in the mall while school shopping with my kids (who were very embarrassed at their mother approaching perfect strangers).  Lenna was very sweet and fortunately, very trusting. She sent me some quick shots of herself and her daughter Kiley which in this case was all that was requested from the client (rare). A few weeks later we received the call to book her for the following day.  Fortunately, she (and Kiley) was very trusting, again and headed out in 24 hours to the booking.  Afterwards Lenna followed through with all her paperwork and I offered her the opportunity to be booked again.

The next big scout:  host for HSN.
