You're pretty, but there is more to it that that. You need to get some professional pictures and begin a portfolio. You don't have to pay for it though. You can join some modeling sites and work TFP/TFCD. What that is basically you and the photographer don't pay each other, and at the end of the shoot you'll either get prints or a cd of your images.

A good site to join is www.modelmayhem.com However, never alone to a shoot, if you're under 18 take a parent if you're over 18 take anyone you trust to watch out for you.

After you get some good pictures you can submit yourself to agencies. You can find out how by searching for modeling and talent agencies going on their websites. Some will want hard copies of the pictures mailed to them others will allow e-mail submissions. Try joining www.models.com you can start a portfolio with them and it has a large list of agencies you can submit to through them.

For runway the shortest acceptable height is 5'7" many agencies won't even accept that. Also runway models are very skinny many are underweight. For runway you need to have a very unique even odd looking facial features.

From what I could tell in you pictures you may be better for commericial and print work. You have a very pretty face, but it's not strikingly unique, you have more of a girl next door look. Don't be upset by that though, commercial and print work often pays better than runway.

Also never pay for modeling classes or portfolio development through an angency. Any reputable agency will cover the costs or budget that with what they expect you to earn from future assignments. Meaning they'll take it from jobs they get you. Also don't go to the scouting events advertised on the radio or wherever else those are typically scams as well. Basically if they want you to pay, it's probably a scam.

You're very pretty, and have such beautiful cheekbones! You could definitely do print ads at least. As for runway, it all depends on your height. Most haute couture lines won't use a model who's any less than 5'7" in bare feet, and most top models fall between 5'8"-6'0". If you're shorter than that, you may not be able to do runway for fashion houses, but maybe you could do it for petite lines- not as glam but you'd still be modeling.

Another factor is age. You look pretty young in your photos, but keep in mind that 25 is over the hill in the modeling world. Most top models are between 16-21 these days, so you want to get a move on!

I used to want to model when I was much younger, and I did a little runway and stuff like that when I was 11 or 12, but I found that it always made me feel inferior and ugly, like nothing was ever good enough. Ask yourself if you REALLY want to be in a career where your looks are everything and you're basically just a living clothes hanger. I'm sure you've seen America's Next Top Model? Do you think you could take the constant criticism and scrutiny those girls have to hear about their faces and bodies every day? I sure couldn't! Best of luck to you in whatever you choose to do.

P.S. Try Ford Modeling Agency- many top models got their start through Ford, and they are known for discovering virtual unknowns. (They discovered Christie Brinkley in a mall!!!)

Modelling is not about being pretty,if that was the case everyone could be a model,it’s all about having the sort of look they think could sell,so yes it hugely depends on ure body stats but a lot of models are ugly so it hasn’t really got anything to do with looks,it’s very much to do with the right attitude to be strong enough in the industry and cope with all the demands and high expectations they wanna see,you are beautiful,but beauty doesn’t make u a model.

I believe that you can be a succesful model, but you need to work out your muscles a little bit. But you are fit you do not have to lose weight, just work out the muscles a bit.

Most models get spotted when they least expect it, like when they are shopping or something!

But yeah you are pretty, but dont be too upset if you dont make it, because unless you fit the 'criteria' of agencies you wont get chosen. Not because your not pretty!
