I'm a little suspicious about these things. Here's their ad: http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/etc/2112651904.html
Not real professional?

I tried to find their website--there isn't one. How in the world do clients see their talent then? I called to ask them about that. They said it's being revamped & will be up in 10-14 days. My sister got duped by a talent agency, who stopped her at a town fair about her son. She actually gave them $600 for a portfolio & never hear from them again!

I think a really legit business wouldn't be on craigslist, or at least they'd have other ads. Try finding a website or other advertisements.

Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

I've heard about talent agency scams - charging for pictures and stuff, then nothing happening. I think real agencies want you to get your own pictures done elsewhere.
