Something we learned early on about Bailey is that she has always been extremely photogenic.  In fact, it has long been a family joke that the only person who could take a bad picture of Bailey was a school photographer.

She has "Anglelina Jolie" lips that have been from babyhood so red that she always looks as though she is wearing lipstick and high cheekbones from her Indian heritage.    In the last year or so, she has shot up to 5 ft, 8 in. with a "drop dead" figure.....long legs, long arms, and a size two figure.

Holly decided she was too photogenic not to consider seeing what others thought of her.  Dallas has a number of top notch modeling agencies. Holly began checking out the credentials of a number of them.  When she found one she liked, she sent them a photo of Bailey along with a letter of inquiry to see if they might be interesting in meeting.

Last week she got a call from the agency requesting more pictures as well as wishing to meet Bailey and her parents.  Bailey was measured, interviewed, and oriented a little bit to the agency's role.

Holly and Bevan were told she had the right build, but she would have to get her braces off before the agency would represent her, if at all.  Holly told them that she would get them off in six months.  

The agency requested more time to study her photos and told Holly they would be back in touch.  About four hours after they returned home, the agency called back, wanting another meeting with Bailey and her parents.

Since they were going to be out of town all this week, they actually met yesterday at 1 p.m. on their way out of town.  The agency told them that they definitely wanted to represent her.  Holly told them they would only allow her to work during summer vacations until she graduates.  So, as soon as the braces come off, the agency will photograph her to prepare her professional portfolio; then in June of next year, they will send her to modeling school.  

They will then begin shopping her portfolio to contacts in the modeling industry.  Since she is a minor, either Bevan or Holly will accompany her on every shoot.

The agency also wanted her to consider taking acting lessons and provided Holly with some literature on good instructors.

I suppose we will find out just how photogenic she REALLY IS in the next couple of years.
