Our daughter was recently offered a contract with BMG Talent. As new parents navigating an unfamiliar industry, we scheduled a call with the agency on Tuesday, 5/27, to ask some basic questions about the contract—something we felt was both reasonable and expected.
During that call, we were told we had 7–10 business days from the meeting date to make a decision. However, just three days later, on 5/30, we reached out with a simple follow-up question: “Just to confirm, do those 12 clients typically book talent around Cassidy’s age?”
In response, we received the following message from Alexa L. (Youth Agent):
“I've seen that you've had some questions for Neida (Talent Manager), regarding our client list and expected work for your daughter.... Unfortunately, since the contract meeting, I no longer believe that we are a good fit as an agency for you and your daughter. You deserve to be with an agency that you can feel confident in from the get-go, and we don't seem to be that agency.”
While the abruptness and tone were disappointing, Alexa was right—we're glad she rescinded the offer. It ultimately saved us the frustration of dealing with someone who responded to reasonable questions with passive aggression and unprofessionalism.
If you're a parent new to the industry, be cautious. It appears that asking too many questions can disqualify you from working with this agency. Judging from other reviews, our experience...
   Read moreBMG booked my first and memorable print gig as a Foot Model. I worked every week side-by-side with Euro LA Models.
Client requested that, I "bring it on"! Lol {My Agent and I were clueless.} Full Mani pedi was required.
My full page, sexy boots photo was featured in Bon-Ton's coveted Fall Fashion catalog. In all photoshoots, I was fully outfitted from head to toe. I may be too short for runway work, but dang it, MY FEET made it to an acrylic runway. {The leg shot was a pleasant surprise as I was booked as Foot Model, not a Leg Model -- 2 different categories.} On the 4th week, we were comfortable in our groove that this sexy photo was done in 5 mins! There were so many fabulous photos that the Creative Director told the photographer to stop, otherwise there will be too many photos to choose from.
As a professional commercial print model, 15 mins per look SHOULD yield 3+ publishable photo in whatever desired vibe/look. Majority of time is dedicated to lighting setup,...

I’ve been there from 2019 to 2025 and nothing – just wasted my time. Not a lot of jobs or castings, low- quality photoshoots, and photographers they offer to make a basic portfolio. There is no proper connection with the agency. Talent managers change every 6-10 months. And tbh, nothing changes. New talent manager Ellie is working for BMG in multiple states at the same time and she is trying to fit in everything, which is obviously hard for one person and not enough for a local agency. I wish you all the best and I regret spending the best age of my life with them and losing all hope of making my dreams come true –to at least become a good local model (I’m 5’7.5” tall; 34-24-35 in; from Europe) … so please, if you truly believe in yourself or in your child be more selective and choose a better path...
