Tis the season to take a break from modeling castings and bookings, but the beautiful people just gotta keep posing…

Super Model of the Year: Em Marie!

This 14-year-old had me at first glance, last summer in Maine. She is breathtaking in person and ultra photogenic (those two traits don’t always go together). She is lovely, humble, talented, polite, bold, ambitious, incredibly disciplined and destined to be a superstar—whether as a model, dancer, or both. When I took her into my former agency, I had no doubt she would be signed by New York Model Management. It is rare to be that sure about a new discovery. I have never been that sure, in fact. And, yes, they signed her! So I’m not surprised that my panel of industry judges have chosen Em Marie as Model of the Year!

Zoe just signed with NY Models (my old agency)! When Ford closed their Kids Division a few years ago, the bookers and talent wisely transitioned to NY Models’ fabulous office in Soho. From decades ago, I’ve been impressed with how professional and warm the team is at NY Models and that winning combination continues today. 

Why am I not gushing over this Model of the Month? Well I don’t want too many complaints about nepotism. Yep, she’s my daughter.
