When navigating through the complicated world of acting, performing or modeling, Babes N Beaus Chicago, a SAG-AFTRA franchised agency, takes the guesswork out of the process. As a Model & Talent Agency, they help connect those with a positive outlook to the entertainment industry. BNB has represented talent on commercials, TV series, print, feature films & music videos. As one of our judges, they have a true perspective for talent. Babes N Beaus has worked with a variety of casting & production companies, locally & nationwide. The Agency opened its doors in January 2003. Their journey began when the owners’ daughter was “discovered” at a local model search that began her career. Through that journey, Don & Joanna Underwood were able to network and discover the ins and outs of the entertainment industry.

Sarah Jane, SJP Studio
When it comes to professional photography for models, actors, musicians, or anyone in the talent industry, a photographer with a fine eye for the industry is needed. Sarah Jane, owner of SJP Studio in Chicago, has just that. Having been a photographer for many years prior to her start, Sarah began work for a talent agency which was similar to the company she and her children had worked with. During her career with this specific company, she was able to work with and collaborate with top photographers in the United States and develop relationships with those in the talent agency.
She soon returned to Chicago to open up her own photography studio and has worked with agencies in the United States including Babes ‘N Beaus, FORD, and Stewart Talent. Given her extensive experiencein the industry and amazing eye for photography, we couldn’t be happier to welcome her on board to be one of our featured judges!
