Hi Lisa,

From your description of your daughter, she sounds perfect for fashion modeling. I can direct you to some resources for getting started. A basic rule to remember when checking out agencies is that if they ask for money upfront, and then go find someone else. You will have to spend money on comp cards and a portfolio, but the agency should not be pushing you to get expensive photo shoots or attend schools or conventions. I hope you would do as I suggest you. Just go to these following links on internet and gather all the required information from them.

Good luck :o)
