I know people are going to think i work for them. I really don't. My stepson was approached at the mall with my wife. We met with Kevin Lane. We did sign up. I wanted to walk away and think about it. He did his sale pitch and suckered my wife. So we paid and set up a shoot. Then we found out we had to pay for that and we were ticked off. We ended up getting it done anyway and the photos came out great. The photographer did seem like he was hung over but that is beside the point. We had several agents call to sign him but did not go to any of them. We finally got a call for an audition in NY for a nickelodeon commercial. They liked him and the agent who booked him to go called us a week later telling us he got the part. So I took him to NY for the shoot and he got paid. There were a couple of other auditions that they called us for but my wife and I both work and cant get him to go to the last second ones. But as skeptical I was and didn't want to do it, it was a good experience for him and not that I expect him to make any money to show for all the trouble the little bit he did was well worth it. The only down fall is we paid more to sign him up and the photo shoot then what he got paid for through the commercial.

Its just a photo studio!!!

They are the people who talk you into getting their business from scape -goats like us. They don't tell the truth and play with our children emotions. They made us sign the contract without pointing out the cancellation policy, walking us thru the contract so fast that we don't doubt them a bit. Finally they trap you and make you feel helpless. Total mental torture. I want to sue them. I have put a stop payment on my transaction and plan to get a lawyer to get their ***.

Please people out there do not even think of stepping into their office. Do not even try to. They are rude over the phone. Ripping off people. We have been going back on forth to cancel our shoot and they refuse to!! Any one who can share their experience of how to get our money back from them will be of great help.

Why doesn't anyone shut them down since so many complaints have been lodged against them...

I'm trying to get started in modeling and so i went to Barbizon for modeling and acting, they selected me to take their classes but they didn't seem like we were getting anywhere. after 6 months and thousands of dollars they had an audition for a cruse with agents on it; but they wanted 3000 for one person. we decided not to go with them and there still calling my dad. we found out the hard way that they only take you so far. So we went to an audition for Whilimina models and i was accepted, they required classes and said that they needed 1700 for all of it. I decided that that sounded like too much and so i went to Mainline i met with the woman that Sammi is talking about and i am having the same issues. first it was no fee, she told me my walk was too loud and that i needed a monolouge. She didn't require classes for me so i thought it was a good idea. When she said that i would need photos she requested we use her photographer and pay 250. so we did after that we recieved a disc with 90 photos and Luraine seemed to love them and wanted to show them to a booking agent. One problem she never signed me. she told me that phyldiphia is a secondary market and that they don't sign us unless we start bringing in money. so she showed them to the booking agent and they liked my photos too so they wanted 3 blown up to 8 by 10's but we had to blow them up. Next she suggested acting classes and a monolouge so she gave me one and recomended mike lemming. but she said it would be 150 and that he doesn't do this very often so we don't wanna miss out. We go to the class but i don't lear anything really and when my parents were talking to the other parents they said that they always have classes with him and that he does this very often. One of the moms was talking to my mom and said that all of those kids are signed. but wait i thought philidelphia was secondary and didn't sign people. now there cornered in a lie.
