By appointment only. Sorry, no walk-ins.

Before doing anything carefully read over: the Agency Policy the Hold Harmless Agreement and the Independent Contractors Agreement . If everything is fine, fill them out, download, and send them to us along with your Information Sheet (Minors). They should be self-explanatory, however, if you do not understand something, then call us at 619-889-3238.

Note: The PDFs and Hold Harmless Agreement are set, no redlining is allowed.

We realize they may not be a good fit for everyone.

We DO NOT recommend that you go out and spend money on professional pictures at this stage, (maybe never).

Pictures you take are fine. Cell phone pictures are perfectly adequate.

Southern California is considered one big economic marketplace in the modeling world. Because of this, much of the work takes place in the Los Angeles area. If you already live in the L.A. area and do not have representation then you are welcome to apply to our agency. However if you are already represented in L.A. by an agency then do not apply with us.

For people who live in San Diego or other areas, there are, on occasion, auditions in L.A. If this is a problem then please do not apply with us. Also, because the modeling business is conducted frequently on a last minute basis, if you need a lot of advanced notice this may not be a good choice for you.

Along with most of the Southern California entertainment industry we use a casting service called LA Casting . Jennifer will pick one of the pictures you have supplied us to include in your child’s listing on this service. LA Casting does not charge for the first couple of pictures, if you would like to post more they do charge a fee. San Diego Model Management has no connection with the fees charged by LA Casting. If you want to post more pictures simply let Jennifer know.

People in this age group must obtain an “entertainment work permit”. In order to work they must have a current permit – there are no exceptions. Send us verification once you obtain the permit. There is no fee and a social security number is not required.

Go HERE to apply for your permit. It is a huge problem if you get to a shoot and do not have a current permit. Don’t let this happen to you!

Our clients are very particular about sizes and current measurements. People in this age group are constantly changing their look and measurements, it is very important that we are kept up to date on these changes.

For clothing and shoe sizes send us updates when one full size is increased. For height send us updates for each additional inch.

Please keep your expectations realistic. Once registered please do not call to check-in. We will, of course, call you with any bookings or scheduling information as it comes in.
