AdorableTalent

This company does not keep their word. They tell you your pictures will be sent to you within 2 weeks. I emailed them ten times and still have not received any pictures. We took our pictures in June 2018 and it is January 2019, still no pictures or reply to the emails. I brought up the reviews when I was contacted by her and she said those are individuals whose child didn't get picked up. Yet she says she represents all kids who are under her roster. This company is truly unprofessional. I would not believe those who rated her 4&5 stars. Most likely, they are fake. As you can see there are way more reviews saying not to use this company.

Our experience with Talent Manager, Jessica Moultrie, from Adorable Talent has been very unfortunate, upsetting, and frustrating. My son booked a job with a client through Adorable Talent in October 2017, only for Jessica to pull something shady with my son's hard earned money. We have been requesting in numerous emails and texts that she send my son his money and that she is only entitled to 20%. Jessica claimed for months she was trying to locate my sons money, but would never give me specific details of whom she was speaking with to resolve the issue. After doing my own investigation, I found the person responsible for paying their models and they sent me a statement showing they direct deposited Jessica my sons money in May 2018! After confronting her with the info, Jessica claims she would send my son his check in the first week of October 2018, and we still had received nothing! After having to threat with legal action was I able to get my son's money sent to me. This was 10 months of trying to retrieve his money! Please stay far away from this company. She takes advantage of the parents ignorance to the business but most importantly, could take advantage of her young clients.

Jessica dis great shooting my boys (13 months and 8 yrs old)! She was patient with them and got some amazing pictures! I was very happy with the shoot. We had to reschedule our first appt but that was fine, next one was within 2 weeks. She already has had my older son on the talk show, Sister Circle, which was such a great experience! Thanks so much Adorable Talent!

My twins Faith and Piper Tyson were part of a PSA with Roc Nation. They were so excited! We saw the video, and it was great. The twins had a small part but I know they will have many more opportunities! Thank you so much!

This was a great experience for my daughter's first casting.The process was very smooth and comfortable. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants there child to be in this industry.

I was bit skeptical when I first heard about Adorable Talent. The skepticism came by way of a kiosk that promised to put my Daughter Kiani Rose on the Map, when she was barely walking. However like most, nothing materialized. A couple of years ago a friend told me about Jessica and I decided heck why not. I attended her Workshop and a few weeks later got the necessary headshots. Next thing I know my daughter was receiving casting calls. She landed several paid gigs and modeled in time square got her 15 minutes on the Kitty walk and even a spot on Sesame Stree which aired on HBO. My daughter built her resume quickly thanks to adorable talent but My daughter's heart was not in it. It became all to obvious when Jessica got her an interview with Wilhelmina (I believe that's the spelling). Her grandmother who had been the one taking her to her bookings and casting calls called me and said, She is refusing to take off her jacket and has a bad attitude. I got on the phone and Kiani said. Dad I don't want to do this anymore. I said ok and that was that. Incredibly to this day Jessica checks in with me to see if Kiani wants to start back up, going as far as offering her free headshots. But my daughter is still not ready.
So a few things of note, make sure your kid wants to do it. Second, just because they are beautiful or special they must be outgoing. Third, you will get out of it what you put in. If you are not willing to go to the casting calls at a moments notice than this is not for you. With all of that being said, if YOU and your kid have what it takes, Adorable Talent will help get you there by knocking on every door possible on your behalf.

Sincerely,
Izzy S

I have been working with Jessica for 3 years. She signed my daughter as her talent when she was 3 years old. Jessica has always
Managed To keep in touch with me and to keep up with updating my daughters portfolio so she's ready to send out her headshots. I honestly recommend adorable
Talent and their amazing team.

Adorable Talent got my daughter a great opportunity to be on a PSA for Tidal. It was a great experience and we were so happy to have our daughter apart of such a wonderful cause! Our daughter learned a lot about the entertainment business from that one opportunity. Thank you!

So excited! :) :) ! My son just went on his first audition for GAP Kids today & it was so great! He did such a good job and was a favorite for sure! Cant wait to see if he books the job I'm so glad we took this chance

Paid for a photo shoot that I thought should have been closed since it was paid for but when i got there she took photos of another kid in between the outfit change which was outside Jessica claim her props were lost and on top of that I had to wait over 2 months for pics and when I got them I was discussed I could have took better pics with my phone their always going to say spots are limited and fillings up to make u think they are in high demand when they accept any and everybody as long as their paying

As a industry mom for the past 10yrs I've had many experiences! Every company will tell you what they do but no company can guarantee any bookings. Jessica did tell me this upfront which I already knew but the fact that she stated this made me comfortable. She has a hard work ethic for her talent and she really cares for each child, as a mother we can see this. Kids don't just take to anyone! Needless to say I have been with her for about 7 months and each one of my 3 boys have worked atleast 3x. We are more low key than most parents of industry kids but my boys are handsome with personality and so we gave this a try! It's been a great experience thus far and I'm a full time mom! I'm glad Jessica is opening doors for many ethnic kids, a lot of companies focus on Caucasian.

My daughter Kaylee did a photo-shoot wast month and already booked her first gig! We are so excited bc we were a little nervous but everyone was so nice and Kaylee is so excited about being a star! We cant wait to see her add on toy boxes everywhwere ;)

My daughter had the chance to work with Jessica and her asst. It always goes very well and we've had many auditions with different companies set up by Jessica. In this industry you have to be available when they need you, we live 3 hours away (depending on traffic) and we've always made it to NY to audition for a few minutes. It's such a great experience and Jessica knows how to capture awesome pictures of my daughter! We love every minute of it and my daughter loves Jessica! We never had any issues and will love to see where it takes us!

Someone recommended this agency to us I've brought my daughter to a seminar paid 150 for her to attend fast forward a year later my oldest daughter decided she wanted to try out modeling so I went back to this agency paid $300 for a photo shoot I never received any photos and it's going on 5 months I'm all for supporting black owned businesses but this is ridiculous I've reached out through the app I used to pay for the photo shoot instagram and adorable talent website it's self still nothing... will definitely take my money else where no hard feelings just a lesson learned!

You can tell this woman only cares about herself. She gets experienced photographers, makeup and hair people for her own private photoshoots. Then she turns around and hires a photographer that captured blurry photos of my child without hair and makeup included. Her kids book jobs once and a blue moon and she continues to post old stuff up. She will say her kids booked a job but never shows the completed job. My kid has been signed with her for a while now and she didn't even know who my child was. Save your money and find a different manager.

I could go on and on about what a terrible company this is... if you really want to call it a company. Jessica is only concerned with her own money and that's it. She's not professional and her attitude is very phony. Please don't waste your time or peace of mind.

I needed to write this review to beg those thinking to work with Adorable Talent to stop and do not proceed! This scam artist Jessica stole money from us. She will say you need to pay for a professional photo shoot, even if you don't need them and have photos, where she will provide wardrobe for an additional cost. She had her assistant (who is her scammer friend) text 30 min before the appointment and say they lost their luggage at the airport and WE will have to supply our own wardrobe. Fine, but we paid for that service and that money was NEVER returned. Sickening. Then we show up to the shoot only to find 20+ other children there. So we had to wait for a very long time for amature pictures to be taken. I could take better pictures on an old school cell phone. She has her scammer friend take pics of her pretending to take pics of the kids so she can scam more people on social media. When asked a number of times when we will be refunded for the wardrobe not being provided, we were responded with a rude email saying that would not happen. Then we receive the pictures that are laughable at the poor quality they are. What kind of racket is Jessica running and how do we file a lawsuit against her? Truly disgusting and shameful. Needs to be put in jail!

Please DO NOT spend your money on this woman's photos! The owner/photographer doesn't even know that when you're outdoors, no flash is needed. When sent on an audition I noticed everybody's kids pictures had been taken by a real photographer. Mothers at the casting call recommend that i get better photos and submit to a mgmt. FYI the moms in the industry know to stay away from ADORABLE TALENT. I guess that's why Jessica likes getting NEW talent with no experience. Once did just that my child started booking jobs under Generation model mgmt.

This company is a scam, and I wish I took the opportunity to look at these reviews before I paid 600.00 for my kids shoot Dec 2017. The dates for the shoot kept getting changed either due to schedule conflicts and the weather. My son didn't take his photo until July 2018. I was told the photo would be available in 14-21 days. The day before the shoot around 9pm I received a tech from a girl name Whitney asking if I was able to change my shoot time to 2pm. I advised no because I had to drive back home. Whitney replied back with thank you see you all tomorrow. The day of the shoot I received a text from Jessica approximately an hour before my 1130 shoot time, stating the plane was departing late from NY and can be push it back an hour. I agreed because I knew this was possible despite thinking in my bed that the weather was clear. A hour passed by and I texted that we were coming over to the shoot location. Jessica stated that she had to wait on her baggage, then check in and change her clothes and to give her time to change. Time went by and I texted again ok are you ready because I had to drive back home. She replied to meet her at 2pm in the lobby and how check in took a while because there was a line at the check in for the hotel. I decided to get out the room and take the kids around to site see. I arrived to the hotel where she was staying approximately 20 mins early. The hotel is a site seeing spot as well. I texted and she replied that she was in her room and would be down, she was unaware that I was at her hotel. At 2pm I texted again and she advised she was on her way down and to wait. A few minsurws later I see her coming from outside and taking another child's shoot and had do audacity to ask me to take a picture of her, the child and her mother. She took my son's photos and advised that I would receive his photos through a link to download. Fast forward, as of today I still have not received his photos. I have email them, instagram message and text. I was first told parents normally do not request photos, I stated well I am that parent that would like her child's photo. More emails went out and I was told to send them my gmail email because the photos were to large for yahoo. I sent them my gmail and still not photos. I noticed that the did change their email address from *******@adorableTalent.com recently. I request a refund for my daughter's shoot that had not occurred yet. I was told refunds are not allowed. Please do not use this company. As you can see they are truly unprofessional and we all have the same experience with her and her company. I honestly this Jessica is the only one running the company and has several email accounts that you maintain. I wish we could rate them a zero.

Jessica took photos of my daughter and they came out terrible. I'm upset that I spent that much money on terrible photos. I would ask for a refund but looking at the other reviews I guess that won't happen.

Jessica And her AdorableTalent team are scam artists. First off she charged me 450 for the photo shoot, that was supposed to include hair and wardrobe. Well the only thing see did with the hair was use her hand to lay it down, then she only brought two outfits that didn't fit. My daughter had to squeeze into one of them and use her own outfit that she came in. She was late to the shoot, and can you really call it a shoot without all the proper equipment. Then I was told the pictures were going to be up on the site for me to view, I didn't see the pictures till two months later and I was very disappointed in them. Mind you I asked for my money back before I even seen the pictures because I wasn't satisfied with how the photo shoot went, and how long it took her and her team to respond to any questions I may have. Now we never signed a contract and their was no receipt given saying that I couldn't be refunded if not satisfied so I'm still waiting on my 450 dollars that she's going to different countries and spending it on instead and not getting my child no work.

Jessica Moultrie is not only a liar but a thief. I have never received my link and I doubt I ever will for my children. It's been well over 3 months now. The photographer I met with was very nice and she was professional. However Jessica is far from professional, she is extremely rude and never answers my calls or texts. I can't stress to you enough how much I would not give her a cent to take a photoshoot. She rarely gets people auditions and as get as my children we never got one call for an audition. From looking at her page I can tell you she's more into her self than the kids. I'm beyond disappointed and wish I could get my money back as I never even received the photos.

Very disappointed in the service that I have received from this company. In the beginning of May I submitted my daughters pictures; once I was contacted for further information I was sent an invoice which I paid immediately. After my payment was received I didnt receive any further information and I had to continuously call and contact your company until I was given an appointment for a photography session.
When I spoke to a pleasant young lady over the phone I asked her if there was anything I needed to bring, other than the two spring/summer outfits, being that my baby was only 5.5 months old and did NOT sit up. She advised me that the photographer would come PREPARED and that she would have props. In addition, she asked me if there was a specific time frame that I would prefer being that the baby was small and she wanted to take her naps and feeding schedule into account. I thought that this was a very great idea and I told her that 12 noon would be best. She was kind enough to give me that time slot for May 27th.
The email clearly requested for us to be on time! However, come May 27th all of a sudden there was a time confusion (even though my email confirmation included that time) where the photographer thought it was for 12:30pm. We patiently waited and waited until she showed up almost at 1:30 pm. A whole hour and half late. By the time we got started baby was already cranky, hungry and sleepy.
In addition, she did not bring any props to sit my baby on or for my baby to lean on. Luckily I always carry two or three blankets that I was able to use to sit her on. Our photoshoot location was Columbus Circle where a lot of people walk by and which is very dirty. So the plan was to sit my small baby on the floor!?
Im not quite sure how experienced she was because she kept trying to sit my baby up although I specifically told her and the person who set up the shoot, as well as Jessica that day, that she did not sit up for long periods of time. This is a milestone that is reached after 6 months of age! If you look at the first pictures the photographer took you can confirm this information.
Had anyone told me that this was the plan and she would not bring anything I could have brought a Boopy or something to lay or sit her on. Furthermore we could have simply waited another couple of weeks!
Then we decided to take it to the park and see if we had better luck and because I no longer wanted my baby on the dirty floor as she kept falling over.
Please lets keep in mind that this is a small infant who does not have all of her immunizations or immunities.
As my child began to get fussier and fussier I suggested to lay her on her back because she would enjoy that position and laughs a lot like that. I think any photographer with experience working with babies would know that at this age that is their most confident and comfortable position. At this point she was able to get a few better shots before the baby got completely uncooperative.

Needless to say that I left quite disappointed. Shortly after I was contacted by Jessica who spoke to me and reassured me that if the pictures didnt turn out well we could redo them.

At the same time I spoke to her about my Nephew. We spoke about scheduling a shoot and shooting in the following couple of days. After finally being able to schedule the shoot, Jessica also took more pictures of The baby being that by then two weeks had gone by she was able to sit up unassisted. At this point i have already spent $620. $310 for each childs photoshoot plus has and tolls a total of $700.

I was told that I would be receiving bother of pictures in the next couple of days. Usually the turn around time is two weeks which had already passed for the baby.

On Monday the 19th Jessica advised me that she was experiencing a delay and that the pictures would be sent between that day Monday and Weds. Well today is Thursday the 22nd almost a month from the day that we shot my daughter pictures and I have yet to receive anything.

I Will also be reporting her to the better business bureau.
Shame on you, girl.
