Mom & Daughter Thank Barbizon for Life Changing Experience


In 2011, Tori Addis of Illinois, received a call that would be life-changing for not just her, but her mom as well. A recent Barbizon Midwest graduate, Tori was informed that she had won a photo shoot in New York City with Seventeen Magazine. Of course Tori was ecstatic - but so was her mom.

"This was one of the most important things we could have done for our daughter, was to support her in this way," Vanessa Addis, Tori's Mom, said. "To help her and to give her every opportunity she needs to succeed and Barbizon's led the way."

Just a few short week after her photo shoot, Tori and her mom received another call. Seventeen and Barbizon were so impressed with her photo shoot, she was being given a scholarship to attend Passport to Discovery, a premier modeling and acting scouting event. The result - signing a contract with TalentInk LA.

"I would like to say THANK YOU for the opportunity of a lifetime for Tori and myself to be part of Barbizon," Vanessa said. "What an amazing experience. Who would have thought that me submitting a photo of her to a contest on Face book would have given her all these wonderful opportunities. Barbizon Rocks!"

"My advice for other girls considering Barbizon is that you just need to go for it," Tori Addis said.
