Welcome to our Talent Base
Need Models for Your Commercial Branding Photoshoot or Video Campaign?
We’ve got you covered. One of the biggest challenges when planning a branding photoshoot is finding people who genuinely represent your brand. At Monika Normand Creative, we maintain a growing network of Dallas Fort Worth lifestyle models – AKA: real, everyday people who are comfortable and confident on-camera. Our talent base is available for commercial photography, product photography, lifestyle photography, video campaigns, personal branding, corporate branding, and advertising projects. We believe in authenticity, and we know that your audiences (potential customers and clients) want to see real people – not overly polished, unrealistic portrayals – when making buying decisions.
As part of our pre-production process, we can coordinate talent recommendations, casting, scheduling, and on-set management so your team has one less vendor to manage. Our talent database includes a wide range of ages, ethnicities, body types, industries, and experience levels, allowing us to build inclusive image libraries that are genuine and relatable.
Whether you’re producing a national advertising campaign, refreshing your brand photography, photographing products, or creating marketing content for your business, we’ll help assemble the right people to bring your story to life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide models for commercial photoshoots?
Yes! We can source lifestyle models from our in-house talent base or connect you with local modeling agencies if you prefer.
Can you help us cast talent for a brand campaign?
Absolutely. We assist with talent casting for commercial photography and video productions throughout Dallas–Fort Worth to ensure that your campaign is well-aligned with your brand.
Can we use our own employees instead of hiring models?
Yes! Many brands choose to feature their own employees when staff members represent their clientele well, allowing the brand to save on talent fees. We do recommend selecting team members who are comfortable on camera and reflect your brand well, as they often become the face of your business across your website, social media, advertising, and marketing materials.
How much does it cost to hire models for a commercial photoshoot?
Model rates depend on the scope of your project. We’re happy to provide recommendations and customized pricing based on your specific production. Please inquire for current rates.
How far in advance should we book talent?
We recommend booking talent at least one month before your photoshoot whenever possible. This gives us time for casting, scheduling, wardrobe planning, and securing the best talent for your project.
Can you source diverse talent for our campaign?
Yes. We believe authentic representation matters. We work with a diverse network of talent across a wide range of ages, ethnicities, body types, backgrounds, abilities, and industries to help create inclusive content that is relatable for your audience.
Do you handle model releases?
Yes. We coordinate model releases as part of our pre-production process so everyone has the appropriate permissions for your commercial photography or video project.
Can you provide talent for both photography and video?
Yes. We source talent for both commercial photography and videogrpahy productions, making it easy to create both content mediums in a single production.
Can you help with wardrobe recommendations?
Yes! We provide wardrobe guidance during pre-production and can connect you with our trusted network of professional wardrobe stylists, hair and makeup artists, and set stylists to help bring your vision to life.
Why should I hire a commercial photographer who also handles talent casting?
Working with one team to manage photography, creative direction, and talent casting simplifies the production process and saves your marketing team valuable time. Instead of coordinating multiple vendors, we handle the logistics so you can focus on your campaign while we bring the right people together to execute it. This also helps ensure the talent, photography, and creative direction all work together seamlessly.
