As a model it’s basically your job to be flawless. This means you come to set groomed, prepared and in the mood to work no matter what. With our busy schedules it’s easy to fall into the habit of rushing out of the house in a flash, grabbing whatever clean-ish, nude-ish underwear you can find and hoping that no one asks for any extras, but isn’t it always better to come over-organized than under?

The cool thing about being freelance is that you are free to pursue as many types of modeling as you’d like. There are many clients out there who don’t mind hiring a fashion model who is shorter or a commercial/print model who is taller, etc. Depending on what direction you plan on going in, have the appropriate photos, portfolios, comp cards and business cards (optional).
