Dynamic Duo

Do you all remember this post about Liz Kennedy and Olivia Hamilton?  Well these model friends are back in action, this time in a different city.  This selfie was taken on the streets of New York City while they headed out to castings.  We've said it before and we'll say it again, we love it when our models become friends.  They can relate to each other and when things line up and they end up in the same city we love seeing them have fun together.  Olivia and Liz are a couple of normal teenagers from Colorado and Minnesota who have bonded together all over the world.  We think that is pretty cool.

Natalie Keyser Making Pulse Proud in London

Modeling is definitely an industry where youth is highly valued. We have to say though, Natalie Keyser is one of our more experienced models, and she has never looked better than she does right now.  She is by no means old, not even close, but she has been modeling for quite a few years with us (that's what happens when you are discovered and signed at age 12).  We discovered Natalie and we knew right away her potential in modeling.  Even though she was younger than we normally sign models, we knew that if we didn't sign her it would only be a matter of time until someone else did, and we did not want to lose her!  Natalie is currently working in Mexico, but these images are from a shoot that she did the last time she was in London.  They are some of the most beautiful pictures of Natalie we have ever seen.  PERIOD.  That is a benefit of starting modeling when you are young, you gain a lot of experience. Now Natalie who is at an age where a lot of models are just starting their careers has years of experience and she is consistently producing flawless images like these ones. We think we have just scratched the surface with what this girl is going to show us.  The best is definitely yet to come with our girl Natalie, and we can't wait to see.

Ali Stephens for Lucky Magazine

These pictures are of Pulse Mgmt discovery, Ali Stephens, from the May 2014 issue of Lucky Magazine. Everything about these pictures gets us excited for summer and for summer fashion.  One of our scouts discovered Ali at a mall in her hometown of Salt Lake City, and knew she was going to be a major force to be reckoned with.  Ali's career took off, and we had her walking the runways of Milan, Paris and New York and on the cover of Vogue in hardly anytime at all.  Sometimes it takes a model a little bit of time to break into a market, but with Ali, her success was almost overnight.  Now seven years later, Ali is still booking huge jobs, and proving she was not just a flash in the pan.  We are so proud to have had a part in her success.

Pulse Mgmt Action Sports Teaser

Hi everyone!  We hope you are all having a good week, and that this video makes you week even better.  We recently had photo and video shoot of some members of our action sports team.  We don't have everything ready to show you yet, but we do have this teaser for you.  Hopefully it will get you excited about what we have coming for you! The video features: Aaron Jessee, Nate Provost, and Christian Sereika doing what they do best!

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Hannah Holman for Australian Vogue

For today's MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY, we are revisiting a May 2011 editorial that Hannah Holman did for Australian Vogue.  Pulse Management scouted and developed Hannah, and we love looking back on pictures that this amazing model has been in throughout her career because she is just amazing.  We always knew that she had the potential to be a major model, and she worked hard and is one of our most successful models to date.  This circus themed editorial was photographed by Max Doyle and was styled by fashion editor, Meg Gray.  This shoot was a huge deal when it came out, and looking back at these pictures we still feel like it is a major shoot for Hannah.  Anytime one of our models is in Vogue is huge, but when one is in Vogue, looking like this, it is simply sublime.  To see the rest of the photos from this editorial, click here.

Big Moment for Natalie Keyser!

We love this pic that our girl, Natalie Keyser, posted on her instagram.  All you models out there know that it is a big deal when one of your pictures ends up in a frame at your agency's office.  It means that out of all the work, from every model they represent, the photo of yours is one that they deem noteworthy, and they want others to be sure to see it too!  This picture is from Natalie's agency that we have her with in Mexico, Paragon Model Management.  Congrats on achieving your goal Nat, we are just as thrilled as you are.

Also, we loved this article about the realities of being a model.  Modeling can be very exciting and glamorous, but this article entails some of the less glamorous things about modeling, and we think it is a must-read for all models, their friends and family, and any aspiring models.  For the people who want to get into modeling, it is good to know what you are getting into and to have realistic expectations.

Carson Spotted on Marc Jacobs' Instagram

As far as designers go, there are few as big as Marc Jacobs.  We were ecstatic when we saw our girl Carson Bruner on his international instagram.  Carson is showing a look from his Pre-Fall 2014 Collection and both she and the clothes look amazing! Congrats Carson, we know this isn't your first time working for Marc Jacobs, and we are sure this won't be your last time!

How Do You Say "Lucky" in French?

One of the major perks of working in the modeling industry is being able to introduce our models to places, people and cultures that they may not otherwise be exposed to.  Two of our favorite models, Carson Bruner and Armon Eastman jetted off to Paris this week and we are loving seeing their pictures.  Pulse Mgmt President (and Armon's Dad), Stacey Eastman, accompanied these two on their trip.  Carson and Armon will be busy working while in France, but it is fun to see these pictures of them, just being teenagers in one of the world's most amazing cities.  Keep posting pictures you guys, we love seeing them!

 

Happy (Belated) Birthday Shayna!

With all of the madness over the holiday weekend, we didn't post about one of the most important days of the year.  Happy birthday to the one and only Shayna Eastman!  She is one of the most beautiful people we know.  Pulse Management would not be where it is today with out this woman, and we are all so grateful for her. Shayna is the COO of Pulse, wife to Stacey, mother of six kids, and she is a friend to all of our models.  As a former model and actress, she can provide the unique perspective of someone who has worked in the industry to our models, and that advice and guidance has proven to be valuable more than we can say! She heads up our Dolls Model Management and Development and it couldn't be in better hands.  She is truly one of a kind, and we are so lucky that she (and Stacey) head up this Pulse Mgmt team.  Happy birthday Shayna, you just keep getting better!

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Ali Stephens for Calvin Klein Jeans

Seeing as it is Memorial Day, reflecting on a Major Moment only seems fitting.  For today's Major Moment Monday we are going back to F/W 2008 when Pulse Management discovery, Ali Stephens, booked this Calvin Klein Jeans ad campaign.  This happened just as we were launching Ali, and it really let the fashion industry know that she was going to be a major model.  The ad was photographed by the incomparable Steven Meisel, and Ali modeled alongside other models like Toni Garrn and Abbey Lee Kershaw, all three of whom have gone on to have continued success in this fickle industry.  This moment was a huge one in Ali's career, and a huge one for Pulse Mgmt as well.  

Bon Voyage!

The internet is abuzz with the news of the Kardashians taking over Paris, but we are far more interested in a different kind of Parisian take over. We are talking a fashion take over from these two, Armon Eastman and Carson Bruner.  Both take off soon for Paris and we are anxiously awaiting to see what work they book and even more anxious to see the stunning images from their French shoots.  I mean, look at these two!  I don't know if either one of them has ever taken a bad photo.  Don't worry everyone, we will keep you posted so you can keep up with Armon and Carson.

Natalie Keyser for NYLON Magazine

I feel like the word fierce is overused, especially in the modeling industry, but when I look at these pics of Natalie Keyser, fierce is the first word that comes to mind.  These intense pictures are outtakes from her latest editorial in NYLON Magazine.  The juxtaposition of the feminine lace dresses with her intense expressions makes for some photos that will not soon be forgotten.  It is editorials like this that keep NYLON at the top of our fashion magazine favorite list.

Dacoda for Wildfox

How pretty are these images from Wildfox's Summer 2014 Lookbook?  We think that our model Dacoda looks absolutely ethereal, and plays the part of the "little sister" in this shoot perfectly.  This is a perfect summer lookbook because it captures the essence of summer, and we think that our Dacoda couldn't have been cast any better!  

We have Dacoda placed with Photogenics when she is in LA, and they are doing a wonderful job with her. (Click here for the Photogenics post announcing our partnership with them) That is what model management (what we do) is all about.  We manage her career globally by placing her with the best agencies for her career in each market. Click here to see the entire lookbook, and there are plenty of teasers below.

Liz Kennedy for Ruby Rivet

We are pouring over these images of Liz Kennedy for Ruby Rivet.  She is one of the models in their Spring/Summer 2014 Catalogue, and we love everything about them.  The concept is perfect for these clothes, and Liz looks amazing in everything, as usual.  Liz was definitely kept busy on her last trip to Asia, and wait until you see how busy she is on her next trip to NYC.  Mark our words, this girl is going to be one of the models everyone is talking about during September Fashion week.  Not too bad for a girl we found in Minnesota!

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Hannah's Editorial for British Vogue

For today's MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY, we are going back to May of 2011, when Pulse Management discovery Hannah Holman, starred in this editorial for British Vogue.  We love it when our models book any job, but when they book one for any of the Vogue magazines, it is the cream of the crop and cause to celebrate! In this editorial, the uber-talented photographer Tim Gutt, reimagined the traditional anniversary gifts.  When we see Hannah in a major editorial like this, sometimes we can't believe this is a girl we found in a small town in Utah, and here she is in an international fashion magazine.  We love being able to change the lives of our models and introduce them to people and cultures they probably would not have had to change to meet if it weren't for this industry.

Pulse Mgmt Introduces Bree!

We love Hawaii for so many reasons, but one of them is that it is where our new model Bree lives! Pulse Mgmt is thrilled to represent this beach babe, and we can't wait to see where this journey takes both of us.  Look at these pics, isn't she just the epitome of what a girl at the beach should be? Bree entered our model search earlier this year, and we are thrilled that she did.  Welcome to Pulse Bree, we think you are going to like it with us!

Ooh La La!

Pulse Management model Ashley Graves, looks beyond amazing in this SS 2014 editorial for Life Has No Limitations.  Life Has No Limitations is an amazing blog, that has some of the coolest posts and pictures we have seen in a while.  Not to mention they have featured our girl Ashley and "Ooh La La" is the perfect way to describe these pictures.  Click here for more pics, and for more info behind this shoot.
