Beyond the images there is always a real person or story. I thought this model's story was worth sharing...







A year ago when I met Jenny, all she wanted was a chance to model. From her look and height you would think she could easily. However, Jenny is permanently disabled from a horrible car accident when she was 18. This beautiful girl has a lot of trouble moving, walking and communicating like she used to. From what Jenny told me... potential jobs only slammed the door in her face, modeling agencies rejected her immediately, and photographers couldn't see past her disabilities.

Personally, I did see potential in her look and booked a shoot with her despite her disability. The results being the images you see above. Not only did Jenny have a great look, but she had a great enthusiasm for the process. She moved and posed really well and was more than willing to try. I was more than pleased with our results, but beyond that it felt good knowing I gave her a chance when no one else seemed willing to.

Since then... that chance encounter and shoot has turned into something great for Jenny. After our shoot, I saw a casting call looking for models with disabilities for a reality show in the UK. I passed the casting call on to Jenny and suggested she apply. She sent them photos from our shoot with her information and was chosen to be featured in a new BBC series Britain's Missing Top Model ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/beauty/ ). She recently returned from filming in London and described it as "the greatest experience of my life". I am proud of what Jenny has accomplished here and only wish her continued success.
