No sibling rivalry here! Brothers, Oliver and Camden, are bursting with talent, and agents are taking notice. While Oliver was auditioning for a role in a TV show in NYC, his older brother, Camden, was winning awards and talking with 15 agents at the Canadian Model & Talent Competition!
Can’t wait to see where these opportunities lead them.

Over the past few months, this talented kiddo has signed two model & talent contracts and auditions for shows in New York and LA on a regular basis. In fact, he recently got a callback in NYC for a TV show! Keep your fingers! Congrats, Oliver!

One of our aspiring models, Daejah, competed in the Canadian Model & Talent competition and walked away with callbacks from modeling and talent agents! Good luck and great job, Daejah!

The students in our Advanced Personal Development & Modeling class graduated earlier this month. They’re walking away more confident, more self-aware and more collaborative young people. I’m so proud of the work they put in! CONGRATULATIONS!

It was all smiles for our models at the annual BridesWorld Show at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center.
