About Us
No job is too big, too small, or too bizarre! Since 1993 I have been sharpening my skills as a commercial model, on-camera talent, and voice artist. I provide professional talent for your professional marketing.
How We Got Started
I was discovered at the hairdresser's in 1993 & found I had a knack for the business. It was the best job for a young mother and I could work around the kid's schedules. It's never boring & I get to represent all kinds of businesses from law firms to car washes.

"Bryan Tuk has been my Entertainment Lawyer for many years. He crafted my Booking Agreement so that I always get paid (a big problem in the entertainment industry). He has also help me navigate offers that seemed a bit...sketchy. Once his reply was simply, "RUN!" Bryan really knows the entertainment industry & his services are invaluable to me. I highly recommend Bryan Tuk & Tuk Law."

Save me money and keep me legal. Turning my taxes over to my CPA was the smartest thing I could have done. H&R Block are very conservative and thought every write off was a "red flag".

Save me money and keep me legal. Turning my taxes over to my CPA was the smartest thing I could have done. H&R Block are very conservative and thought every write off was a "red flag". My CPA has saved me HUNDREDS of dollars in taxes which more than covered his fee. Most of my clients treat me as a subcontractor, others as a per diem employee. I have a hard time keeping it all straight. As an "artist" my CPA needs to make sure it is made clear that this is my job and not a hobby.

My mother in law used to work for HR Block & did our taxes. One year, she was so overwhelmed we went to a CPA who asked why we weren't claiming legitimate deductions. We told him HR Block told us they were red flags & we would get audited. He explained they were perfectly legal deductions & by...

My mother in law used to work for HR Block & did our taxes. One year, she was so overwhelmed we went to a CPA who asked why we weren't claiming legitimate deductions. We told him HR Block told us they were red flags & we would get audited. He explained they were perfectly legal deductions & by taking advantage of them could save us hundreds in taxes & more than covered his fee. My CPA is worth his weight in the hundreds of dollars he save this gal each year.

What a great problem to have! I would delegate. For example; When my daughter gave birth to my first grandson, before flying to Atlanta to take care of her, I called two actresses who had my stats & asked them to email me their headshots & resumes. That way, if a production company would call...

What a great problem to have! I would delegate. For example; When my daughter gave birth to my first grandson, before flying to Atlanta to take care of her, I called two actresses who had my stats & asked them to email me their headshots & resumes. That way, if a production company would call while I was away, I could refer a someone I had respect for both as a professional & a talent. This has gained me the reputation of being a team player & always putting the production first rather than what's in it for me.

I like posts that educate me & in turn I regard you as an expert in your field. What would be helpful for me to know about insurance? How do I recognize a scam? An Insurance friend of mine recently posted about a popular commercial which claimed their company would replace your whole car after an accident. Her post pointed out that if you paid enough, any insurance company would do that, then she offered to look over your existing policy to understand exactly what you are covered for & what you are not. Also, remember to be social on social media. I'm sure there are a lot of insurance jokes & memes that would show your social side. And NEVER, EVER post ANYTHING Political or religiously bias. Unless you only want to do business with one side of the aisle or one group of faith. Nothing turns me off from a business more than one who seemingly rejects my personal beliefs.

I would like to upgrade my equipment & get educated on how to use it. The better equipped I am, the more I can set myself apart from my competitors.

I relied on talent agencies to find me work. Then I discovered business networking in my area! When I realized I could direct market, educate business owners & diversify what I do, it was a no brainer. People don't realize that all professional talent are independent contractors. I just decided to hang out my shingle & stop waiting for my agency to call me.
