Hi, after reading the comments here I wanted to share my own experiences at Page Parkes. I am the father of a model represented by Page Parkes. My daughter was signed in May of 2013. She started attending classes in January and went to Model Camp in March. During Model camp she auditioned for the agency and in May we were surprised and thrilled with the news she had been accepted by the agency. Afterwards she attended agent review where she actually received a call back from an agency in London. You do not know how excited we were. A few weeks later we got the news that the agency in London was not going to sign her this year. Yes we paid a lot to get to this point! But consider this. This is not a show up and just smile and look pretty job. This is a career and with any career you have to pay for classes to be trained and mentored. I consider the cost to be her college tuition. My daughter spends many hours a week training at home and follows up with classes and private lessons at Page. She sacrifices and eats healthier than most people and goes to the gym daily. She has almost completed her first year with Page Parkes, been in a few runway shows and continues to meet with many photographers to build her portfolio. During this year she has made several new friends at Page that she has seen move on to NYC, California and other countries all because they started at Page Parkes. Again, if your complaint is the cost, then maybe your not ready to sacrifice and help start your child's career. Would you want a doctor to do surgery on you without training or experience? Accepting some financial responsibility also shows how committed you are to your child's success. This is not a baby sitting service where you drop your child off. This is a career in the making. This has been the most exciting time in our lives working with the Page Parkes agency and we look forward to the future with them.
