I was recruited by Tracey Loder in February of 2007, after years of dreaming of becomig a model/actor. As an active duty United States Air Force officer, the ability to be creative and pursue one’s artistic side is not always easily accomplished…after all, we wear the same uniform every day and are all supposed to look/act alike! And so, up until I read the Images casting call in the local paper, I believed my fantasies of modeling and acting were far-fetched.

Since that fateful day in 2007, I have been blessed with amazing opportunities beyond my wildest dreams! My first assignment was a ad campaign shoot for Bacardi Rum; shortly thereafter I was selected to be a guest escort for the Tug McGraw Foundation’s “Denim and Diamonds Gala.” My opportunities seem to be exploding as of late, and just keep coming. I just wrapped my third television commercial (I have been honored to be part of commercials for Lumiere Place Hotel and Casino, AT&T iPhone, and Hans Wiemann Hair Solutions). Back in May of this year, I was recognized as the top male model at the St Louis Pronto International Fashion Show. And now, I represent the urban couture clothing line of the up and coming Ynobe Sky fashion designs company.

Images has opened so many doors for me to be able to realize my dreams. I am proud to serve my country as a member of armed forces, but my heart has always been in artistic expression through fashion, modeling, and acting. The staff at Images have believed in me, encouraged me, and helped me develop the invaluable skills needed to succeed in what isn’t an easy industry to negotiate. Their attitude is clearly that, “Success comes in CAN’s, failure comes in CAN’Ts.” I started with them at the age of 31–when many agencies said “you can’t, you’re to old.” Images said, “Why not?’ And clearly, they were right.

I am certainly not worthy, but have achieved a small fan base extending into other continents. I’ve even been asked for autographed pictures! I am happier than I have ever been and proud to be associated with Imges Agency. None of my success would be possible without their investment in me! Thanks so much Images!

I’m writing you for my daughter Alexandria S., who is a member of Images Agency. There was a time when my daughter, Alexandria was constantly in the shadow of her older sister, and felt she would always be second to whatever her sister did first.

Images of St.Louis changed all of that for Alexandria, she became more confident and her personality has started to shine and she is more of who Alexandria is supposed to be, not what her sister is. Both of my daughters have unique and wonderful talents, but if it wasnt for the opportunity with Images, I dont believe Alexandria would have had the confidence to pursue her dreams like she is now. Thank you for letting her become the beautiful and positive adult she is heading to be!

It doesn’t seem possible that we would see this big of a change in our son in just a matter of a couple of months. Quentin has always been an outgoing, confident and friendly child in no matter what he has been involved in. But this whole experience has revealed a “spark” deep within that we knew was there but now with confidence it is shining brightly.

Quentin has embraced the experience and has openly said “mom this is what I want to do and feel that this is a goal I have for myself to be better and do this more!”

When I think of my son, I initially think of the delicate child I brought home from the hospital 10 years ago or the little boy who was too shy to speak to someone at church, but when I stand here and witness the passion he has, the confidence and the energy that seems to radiate from him when he is working on a commercial, I stand amazed! I see him for the young man he is growing up to be and marvel at how he is going after HIS dream.

So Quentin has taken the initial steps in this process and is growing leaps in bounds within and I guess you could say mom and dad are too!

Where with this road lead? Who knows, but if the journey stopped here, Quentin has come away with “life tools” and confidence that can help anywhere he goes.

Thank you to Image Agency for helping Quentin to realize his passion.

Respectfully Submitted,

Dear Images Agency,

Over the past, I have encountered many experiences that I can’t just find anywhere at the age of thirteen! This agency has helped me in so many positive ways both physically and mentally. I’ve experienced how to never give up and to keep on trying when things get rough.

I’ve also learned how to become more confident and have more self-esteem. An experience I’ll always remember are the opportunities to meet new and successful people. I’ve gotten to meet and speak face to face with famous producers and directors from all over!

The monthly auditions are a special and professional experience to be a part of! I enjoy them very much. They allow me to be introduced to many people and companies. The staff has given me incredible experiences also! They are possibly the nicest group of people to work with. They give me support in everything I do. When I talk to them, I feel understood and listened to. The staff is always willing to help in any way possible!

My many experiences keep on growing and expanding in ways I’d never think of! I get different and new opportunities every time I’m with Images. I will never forget any of these wonderful opportunities given to me.

On top of that, I’ve learned to just be friendly and have fun! I have fun in everything I do and learn from all the mistakes. Images has helped me to become a good sport when things aren’t going my way! I’ve had the experience to make new friends and a new “family” here at Images Agency.

This agency is just about the best thing that has happened to my life! Its allowed me to speak my mind and really open up. As a teenager, this is just what I need! Images has also helped me be comfortable around others I’ve never met before. It allows me to BE MYSELF!

Acting and modeling have always been my ambitions since I was a little girl. Because of all the hard work and determination this agency has provided me, I’m well on my way to accomplishing my goals! I’ve had so much positive pressure ,that every month I can’t wait to show what I have to give next!

A great thing like Images Agency of STL is a once in a life time opportunity for me! Thank you so much for allowing me into this terrific agency, where I expand so much! Whether it be because of the auditions ,the staff, or new lessons learned, Images has given me everything I need to become successful! THANK YOU VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING!

LOVE GWEN P. – AGE 13!
