I took my daughter to be evaluated, she was chosen to come back to have her pics taken tomorrow. Anyone ever been to them before?? Any good comments or negative will be greatly appreciated.

Re: New Faces
I never heard f them. But , just don't pay out any money. Reputable agencies do not ask for money up front.

Re: New Faces
I know someone who works there she books kids in movies and commercails all the time. You will pay for pics though and that is with most reputable agencies they dont work for free. Good luck!

That is not true most reputable agencies will only take a commission when a child books a job. You never have to pay for photos to be taken or any money up front.

I went there with my daughter and she too was "chosen". I really don't think anybody gets turned down from them. Their business is getting people to spend literally hundreds of dollars on photos. They may get some people some jobs out of it, but in my opinion that is not their main objective. When I told the man who met with us that I wanted to think about it overnight, he quickly slammed his book closed and said forget it then. If you even have to think about it then it is not for you, and ushered us out of the office within 5 minutes of us saying that we wanted to consider spending almost $1000 on photos of a 4 month old baby. I would not recommend them to anybody!

Re: New Faces
there was a post on here about them a few weeks ago. They are supposed to be such a scam. If I find the post I'll link it for you.
Good luck!
Here you go!

Re: New Faces
Thank you I called last night to cancel. It is amazing that when they wanted my kids to come they kept calling. Now that I need to speak to someone NO ONE knows anything and the guy that I dealt with is not returning my calls. I have to send a letter to say that I am not going to continue within 3 days. Which means I have to high tail it to the post office in the morning and get this letter to them by Tuesday. Then wait 30 days for my refund. I am trying NOT to make a scene or go off the deep end in the middle of their establishment however for $700 anything is possible. Then he had the nerve to be making small talk with me because come to find out his girlfriend lives on my block, he called her and everything. I guess that made me his honorary friend give me a break

 good for you! don't get into their scam! If you want your children to get into modeling there are so many other options. Someone posted the agancies that are good this past week. You can search!

Re: New Faces
Nothing to feel bad about. I was really pumped about the place as well. It was just little things that bugged me. When DD's dad gave me some opposition over the phone about it I saw the guys whole demeanor change. and then the price of just the Pics, if it was one price and it covered alot of things i.e the cards and whatever else then I would be fine. It just seemed that they will keep asking for things.
