Hannah Holman for BHLDN

Admittedly I was beyond excited when mega-retailer Anthropologie announced the launch of their bridal line, BHLDN.  Fast forward a few years later and that excitement was matched when I saw Pulse Management discovery, Hannah Holman, in their "Swept Away" lookbook.

The lookbook was shot on the beach in Portugal, and we can't think of a better model for these bohemian bridal looks.  We discovered Hannah at a mall in Provo, Utah, but we can't get over how much she looks like she just belongs on this Portuguese beach.  We have a feeling these photos will be all over a lot of people's wedding inspiration pinterest boards in no time!

Pulse Management Introduces: Emma Harris

We had a ton of traffic on our blog last week, and we are so excited that so many of you wanted to see more pictures of some of our new faces!  We have a few more to show you, and we are just as excited about the group of pictures we are showing you this week as we were last week.

This stunner is Emma Harris, who we scouted not once but TWICE!  Our scout Lacey saw Emma in Reno, Nevada and spoke to her about modeling with Pulse.  The two months later while Pulse Management President, Stacey Eastman, was at the mall in Boise, Idaho he spotted Emma working at Orange Julius.  We like to think this means destiny played a hand in our signing Emma, and we are so thrilled she is one of our models.

Below are some digital polaroids of Emma and then the pictures from her Dolls Test Shoot with Timothy Rosado.  Enjoy the pics, and we have a feeling you will be seeing a lot more of this beauty!

Big Day for the Eastman Family!

If you have met Stacey and Shayna Eastman (President and COO of Pulse Management), you probably have heard about how much they love Hawaii.  Ever since I have met them I have heard about how they are planning on moving out to the islands, and TODAY is the big day.  Along with their beautiful children they are making the move today.  We want to wish them good luck on their move, and we can't wait to see more pictures of their new Hawaiian life.  

How does this affect your model management, or your potential to model for Pulse Management?  The good news is it won't! The great thing about technology these days is we can manage you from anywhere.  We are looking forward to huge things for our models in September, and we already have models working all over the globe right now.  Even a huge move halfway across the Pacific can't slow us down!

Pulse Management Girls on the Go!

 Andrea Steele

This is definitely turning out to be a hot summer for some of our models!  We posted about Andrea Steele in New York a few weeks ago, and now she is headed off to Tokyo.  She has a contract there and we can't wait to see the work she does during her trip.  We have sent many of our models to Tokyo including Ashland, Liz, and Olivia and it has been a pivotal place for each of their careers.  Good luck Andrea, we are so excited for you!

Mia Speicher and her Mom

Yesterday we posted about one of our new models, Mia.  Keep in mind she just did her first test shoot last week.  Things are moving fast for this beauty because within a week's time she and her mom are headed out to Miami where we saw a lot of interest for her.  Sometimes things move quickly for a model, and sometimes it takes a little bit of time to gain some momentum.  In Mia's case she waited five years to do her test shoot, but now that we finally got some professional pictures of her things are moving quickly.  Have fun in Miami ladies, hopefully you get a little time on the beach in between castings and photoshoots!

Pulse Management Introduces Mia Speicher

We are the first ones to understand when parents come to us with concerns about getting their child started in modeling.  It is an intimidating industry that is notorious for having people trying to scam the uninformed out of their money and sometimes away from their moral code.  Stacey and Shayna Eastman (President and COO of Pulse Management), and not only a husband and wife team, they are parents to six lovely children, so they fully understand all of the responsibility that comes with parenting.  It is also why they don't take the responsibility lightly when it comes to managing a model.

As you will hear in the video below, we waited quite awhile to finally do a test shoot with Mia.  It took five years (FIVE!), from when we first scouted Mia in Colorado for her to come and do a test shoot with us.  We patiently waited and answered and questions and concerns that they had, and finally we are able to get this girl's career going!

We didn't know if we were ever going to get a chance to work with this beautiful young woman, and we are thrilled that we are now managing her!  Good things come to those who wait, and Mia we are so excited to get going with your career.

Pulse Management Introduces Katie Isenbarger

One of our favorite things about our Dolls Test Shoots is meeting our new models and finding out where they are from and what made them decide to have us do their test shoots, and eventually manage their careers.  Katie and her mom Jill, joined us at our last shoot from Indiana.  She is stunning in person, and her shoot with Timothy Rosado was nothing short of amazing in our opinion.

We also loved hearing about how, like Ava and her mom mentioned yesterday, the trip to NYC was good for their relationship and they were enjoying spending time together.  Not to mention when we notice or hear about our models becoming friends with each other it makes us so happy!  There are so many instances and portrayals of women being competitive with each other and seeing each other as "the enemy", we love seeing even teenage girls evolve past that and develop friendships with other new models.  These friendships will prove to be meaningful and so helpful throughout their careers because they can relate to the unique and exciting lifestyle that modeling comes with.

Thanks for joining us Katie, we are looking forward to managing you!

Pulse Management Introduces Ava Becker

We just wrapped up another Dolls Model Management shoot in New York City and to say we are excited about the new models we photographed is a huge understatement.  We are going to dedicate blog posts the next few days to introduce you to some of our new faces.  

First up is the stunning Ava, who we discovered in Kansas.  In the video below she and her mom share how they were scouted, and their experiences with Pulse Management.  We know that a lot of people who read our blog are interested in modeling, so we want to share with you our new models' experiences in their own words.  

Before the models start their photoshoots we take some polaroids of them, and then they get to work with the insanely talented photographer, Timothy Rosado.  Timothy and his hair and make up team work their magic on the models, and then they send us the finished images, and they are incredible.  

We loved Ava's polaroids, and her pictures from Timothy show us that she has so much potential in modeling.  We are looking forward to managing this beauty because we can see her having an exciting career ahead.

As a side note, we loved in the video when Ava and her mom mentioned that they loved the photoshoot and trip to New York together as bonding time.  At Pulse Management we are really invested in our models, and not just as working models, but as people.  We know they are young men and women with families and other interests, and we don't take that lightly.  Hearing that our photoshoot helps bring family members closer together is just the icing on the cake for us!

Hannah Matthiesen in Vogue

For today's Major Moment Monday we are going back to December 2011 when Pulse Model Hannah Matthiessen appeared in British Vogue. Alexander McQueen's lead designer Sarah Burton was being featured in a piece and Hannah was cast as the model to appear in the photo alongside the designer.  If you remember, Burton catapulted to stardom after she designed Kate Middleton's wedding dress, while newly at the helm of McQueen.  This Vogue article was a huge moment for both Burton and our model Hannah.

We discovered Hannah in her hometown in Oregon, and her career took off quickly.  One highlight was when she was one of two models selected for a private showing of a designer's line for Anna Wintour (Editor in Chief of Vogue).  I can't even imagine how exciting and nerve-wracking that must have been!

We look back on this Vogue feature and are still so proud to see one of our models in a feature of such a talented and respected designer.

Congrats Ashland!

Ashland Wendlandt now has her own profile on models.com! As we have mentioned previously, having a profile on models.com is a major milestone in any model's career because you have to be selected to be included amongst the other top tier of working high fashion models. We think that Ashland's recent work for Dior (as we chronicled HERE, HERE, and HERE) are more than enough to get her a profile on Models.com, and we're glad that we aren't the only ones!  You can see Ashland's profile HERE.  Congrats Ashland, we can't wait to help you start filling up that page with jobs!

Feeling Nostalgic with Natalie Keyser

The other day on Facebook I saw the above picture and the following post from our model Natalie Keyser:

"So I'm packing up my apartment and I dropped a heavy box. Turns out it's all my modeling pictures. There must be at least 500 pictures here and these aren't even including my last NYC trip or Mexico trip or half of my jobs...considering I haven't even seen all of my work. I'm proud of myself. I had a wonderful career."

Seeing that pile of pictures had me thinking about all of the blog posts I have written about this talented young woman over the years, and all of the pictures posted.  To see more about the amazing things Natalie accomplished in her career click HERE.  You deserve to be proud of yourself Nat, we are proud of everything we accomplished together, and thank our lucky stars that our scout found you so many years ago.  

Corey Scott for Von Dutch

Corey Scott looks as handsome as ever in this picture we found of his campaign for Von Dutch.  Corey is perfectly cast in this ad, and Von Dutch is trying to raise brand awareness with it's slogan "Von Dutch is still alive", and we can't think of a better model to prove to everyone that it is still a hot brand!  Keep up the good work Corey, we have a feeling this won't be the last time you see yourself in a wall sized advertisement!

New Videos of One of Our New Faces

Man oh man we find the most amazing girls in Minnesota.  First we found our superstar Liz Kennedy there, and next up we have the stunning Hazel Eakman.  Hazel did a test shoot with Dolls a few months ago, and she is currently in NYC working with our partner Fusion Model Management.  She recently shot these videos with Shane Suban, and they are simply perfect.  We are looking forward to seeing great things from Hazel, and we can't wait make it happen!

Dolls Shoot in NYC

Stacey and Shayna Eastman are wrapping up a whirlwind weekend in New York City where we had our latest Dolls Test Shoot.  We moved the Dolls Shoots to New York City a few months ago and so far we are loving meeting our new models in NYC.  Being in New York also is beneficial because we can meet up with our models that are working in the city, and we can meet up with our partners at Fusion.  This weekend was filled with a lot of work, a lot of laughs, and left us all feeling excited about some of the new faces we signed!
