Overall, through her guidance, Diana gave my daughter a big boost in self-confidence. We were impressed with Diana’s teaching techniques. She is a very experienced and professional model. She is also a very patient, warm coach, and she truly cares for her students."

”"We signed my pre-teen daughter up for a four hour, two week private class. Our goal was to have our daughter learn how to love her growing body, learn self-confidence, and to have fun with the modeling shoot! Diana met and exceeded our expectaions! Our daughter had a fantastic time walking the runway, practicing new poses and most importantly, learning how to accept her beautiful changing body"

”"I purchased the SuperModel Package and couldn't be happier with the service Diana provided. I arrived to Los Angeles from the east coast nervous, and unsure of how to get into the modeling business in a new market, but she walked me thru step by step giving me all the tools I needed to acquire an agent from learning the business to photos I needed to have to submit to agents, to helping me get in front of agents themselves with a personal recommendation. Diana was flexible with my crazy schedule, and I looked forward to getting to work with her each week! I will continue to call on her on a as needed basis if any questions were to ever come up, as she is not only a truly legit resource to have in this sometimes shady town, but a wonderful person to know!"
