Bella: Her pictures are a tad to myspace style for us, however her sweet & edgy combination of pictures impressed us almost as much as her name, which we dearly hope isn't fake just because shes another Twilight fan.
Natalie: Takes straight up amazing pictures, is very dedicated & has a great personality.
Charlotte: takes very chic edgy pictures & always turns in pictures early
Willow: Is a loyal CCM model & takes consistantly great photos. We're so glad to have her back!
Vivien: is naturally beautiful and takes pretty headshots. But can this amature turn her potential into something amazing? We like to think so.
Victoria: Her bold edgy pictures are stunning & CCM is very glad to welcome her back.
Cookie: though her name is silly, her sweet melancholic modeling style has surprised us from day one & we welcome her back warmly.
Allie: Can be pretty silly from what we've seen of her pictures, however, takes some stunning edgy pictures
Jade:While her pictures can be a tad to risque for the agency, she has a beautiful self confidence that gives her much potential to be chic.
Katie: She's all smiles & exudes confidence. We hope she can transfer some of her more commercial work into avant-garde posing.

Photography:
To help our models take better pictures we have provided simple photography tips & tricks.
Photography studio- as inspired by the one Charlotte, Cookie, & Natalie created.
Choose a backdrop for your picture, somethings simple such as plain white fabric, and thumbtack it to a blank wall. Lighting is an essential part of creating your own studio, and we reccomend you experiment with differnt types. However, you don't need proffesional equipment to try this, only a desk lamp. Set the desk lamp down on the floor and bend it to create differnt shadows on your model. To see different types of lighting,

Subject placement- In pictures of people, it's often wise to follow the traditional rule of thirds. To do this, place your subject in the right or left hand 2/3s of your frame. An example is below:
see how the eye is draw to the flower because of its placement in the bottom third? [and color]
Depth of field-Especially important for portraits, simplify your background. Check your camera's website on how to change depth of field. A narrow depth of field means the one part of your picture is blurred & the rest isn't it is great for portraits & close-up shots. However, great depth of field means the full shot is in focus and is good for landscapes & full body shots. Examples:
See how the background is extremely simplified so your full attention is draw to the baby?
Here, everything is in focus & you can see both the model & the background surrounding her.
Photoshoots:
COUTURE NATURE
This can be a difficult concept to photograph, however, we believe in you models.
Take a picture
outside surrounding yourself by nature [ this means no streets, lamps, or other distractions ] in your most couture outfit. We suggest you dress in a different color than your background with edgy, yet neutral makeup, [ by this we mean, no obnoxious cheesy rainbow faces ] and falmorous hair. Take this picture with a great depth of field & wip out the avant-garde poses. Good luck models.
