About Us
Who are we?
MMP's events welcome models and photographers of all ages and skill levels. Chaperones are always welcome, too. The dichotomy of experience provides an inherent networking process, providing the platform for our artists to grow in a safe, enriching, and supportive environment. In addition to hosting our monthly meet-ups, we organize exclusive events for casting both models and photographers.
MMP provides the perfect platform for aspiring artists. Our events provide you an opportunity to grow, network, and build your portfolios. MMP is international! To date, MMP has been published globally ... and the list grows monthly!
We preface each event reminding both our new and veteran members "everyone has a first day ... leave your egos behind, as you won't need them here." Models arrive ready to shoot, photographers show up with their vision and equipment in hand. The rest is up to us. We coordinate site selection, logistics, and behind the scenes details in order to allow our registrants the ability to focus on their artistry.
MMP gives back. We believe our events flourish through philanthropy. We have donated to many organizations: i.e. MDS Foundation, St. Jude's Hospital for Children, HomeFront of Mercer County, local farms, various host foundations, plus scholarships for high school performing arts students.

Model Me Photography coordinates model and photography events in unique, exclusive locations throughout the northeast. "Our events were created out of necessity," explains Laura Geltch, MMP Director. "Both my daughters began modeling as teenagers and we didn't always feel safe. I thought, we can do better and this industry deserves better!" Salt Fashion Magazine Feature
