Hi Sharon -

What an image you sent our way!

I know I have had success finding models from the teens in my church and their friends. Once there is a relationship and they know you're harmless, it really helps. Plus, another thought besides church teens - if you know anyone who's a friend to homeschooling families, you might be able to make some contacts that way. They're usually really nice kids who are free during the day when their public school counterparts are not available.

It's all about the family knowing you and trusting you. Good luck!
