The Rise of Hannah Grace

It has been so rewarding to create such a beautiful career path for Hannah.

We have helped her grow from a local unknown to an international success story.  The first agency we signed her with was Ford in Phoenix… Next we developed her book in Greece, these are a few of her first international shots, so lovely…

Since then we have launched her in Tokyo, Osaka, Cape Town, Brazil, Singapore, South Korea, Canada and Paris!

Being agency owners, scouts, consultants, mother agents in some way or form connected to the modeling and talent industries for fifteen plus years, makes us experts in what makes a model or talent successful. We believe there is an art to doing it right. Marketing, networking, attitude and dedication play a large role in understanding the global industry. There are no shortcuts. We are here to be your support system, find the perfect agencies for you, build a lasting career. We take an individual approach and look at each person, their circumstances and what they want out of the industry before deciding how to market you. It's a big world out there and it is important to have the right guidance to help you get where you want to go.

Wendy Buono is devoted to helping models know what it really takes to make it in a highly competitive global modeling environment.

Melissa Jump believes that by helping and nurturing models, they make educated decisions that can give a modeling career that extra boost necessary to be a real success.
