It would also help if they didnt cost a fortune.

None, Im 15 and I did some modeling. Most agencies want you to have went to a school. Like on TV when they say they just pulled them off the streets and their a huge star! Thats a lie you need training to become a model. Modeling School isnt that expensive when you think of how much you can make in the end. Also when signing to an agency you should NEVER pay them! Of course when you get jobs they will take a percentage but you should not have to pay an agency to take you.
If your serious about modeling attend a school and make a comp card and a resume than you can start looking for a modeling agency.

I have heard a lot of bad thing about SOME (not all) modelling agencies and how they make you pay for photos and photo sessions before they take you on then never give you any work. Always check with the local Better Business Bureau in teh US or Trading Standards in the Uk or Similar organisation elsewhere.
NEVER GO ON YOUR OWN ALWAYS TAKE YOUR PARENTS!!!! BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU SIGN!!!
I think a better starting place before you go to agencies is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. You should never have to pay to get a job if you do there is a high chance it is a scam.
However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.
Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.
parents permission required if you want a website.

Only the best modeling agencies take 13 year olds with no experiance or training. They prefer to invest their own money to train a young model wanna be. They really should pay the girl while they train her at their expense. Oh and don't worry about parental consent....they are crazy enough to enter into a contract with a 13 year old.

Before you decide to sign on with any modeling agency, make sure you check its reliability report from the Better Business Bureau. Modeling agencies have a high rate of unscrupulous business ethics, and better safe than sorry. You also can inquire as to how many unresolved complaints a particular agency has.

Take pictures of yourself..natural pictures being not made-up and send them to modeling agencies. Also look for casting calls in your area.....I do not know where you live, but if you are in the NYC area...send pictures and/or go to the websites of Ford, Elite, etc.....(I do not know the age range of these agencies) My daughter just got signed on to be in Teen Vogue.....she is 19, though. Good luck.

Modeling at 13 is not a good idea. I would encourage you to wait until your 17 or older.

All I have to say is this, beware of middle aged men in vans that say they run a modeling agency.
