From Hannah’s Mom, Margo:
What were the reactions of others when you were deciding to get your son/daughter into modeling?
Most people acted skeptical, others gave anecdotal stories of their own experiences in modeling school. Some said things like, "I can't believe you are letting your daughter go to Japan ." Always the question , "What about School?" My friends were supportive and thought it would be a great opportunity. One of my closest friends said she thinks Hannah will make it big (time will tell).
Does anyone treat you different now that your son/daughter made it?
Yes, most people are interested in Hannah's experience and ask questions about what she does, if she is in any magazines etc. They ask to see her "book" or pictures. Others tell her that they expect to see her on a magazine cover soon.
What has been your overall perception?
I think it has been a good experience for Hannah, how many girls get to turn 16 in Hawaii on a photo -shoot? Besides the modeling work, she had a great cultural immersion, learning to get on the subway and get to her job, presenting herself to potential clients at castings,and negotiating the language barrier. She made friends and keeps in contact with girls(and some boys) from all over the world.
Personal safety was never an issue, she felt safe at all times. The only late night phone call I got as at 3 a.m. (MST), she needed a tutorial on laundry.What were the reactions of others when you were deciding to get your son/daughter into modeling?

What would you like the world to know about your son/daughter outside of being a model?
Hannah is a bright girl, with many talents. If she stopped modeling today she still has many options and opportunities she could pursue.
Any silly moments they've had?
Hannah's first job in Japan was for a dept store called MILK, she though she was doing a milk ad, and who would have thought a farm girl from Utah who personally owns 10 beef heifers would go clear around the world to do a milk ad. She later found out it was not for milk(the beverage).
Advice for other parents?
Realize that this is a commitment for you as well as your child.
