Mary Therese Friel, LLC

I have worked with Mary Therese Friel Modeling Agency for 25 years now. She and her husband Kent are tremendous people. They give the education for modeling expertise, and provide numerous opportunities for jobs and exposure with quality partners. More importantly, they instill the importance of being a good person in the community. They are generous, thoughtful, and caring. These qualities are passed along to their models and it stands out!

My daughter has worked with Mary Therese and Kent for a little over a year. We met the Dynamic Duo at the NAM Pageant. Unsure if this was something my daughter would really like and commit to, I signed her up with their summer program to start. They have not only taught her about modeling but about the importance of being a good person too, including school and giving back to the community. She loved it! They have been patient and encouraging with her. Our experiences so far have been great. I highly recommend the MTF agency!

My daughter has been working with Mary Therese and Kent for a little over a year. Thet have taught her not only about modeling but about being a good person. Their focus on giving back to the community is wonderful! My daughters experiences have been awesome so far!

My daughters have been with the Mary Therese Modeling Agency for almost a year now. We have been so pleased with all of the opportunities that have come our way. Our daughters are very professional at their young age thanks to the great examples set forth by Mary Therese, Kent and the other models. We trust them wholeheartedly with our children's well being and know that any job, appearance or volunteer offer will be held to the highest standard. All of the models will be polished and will represent the agency in a positive way. We are looking forward to many more years modeling with Mary Therese and Kent Friel.

My daughter has been working with Mary Therese Friel, LLC. for two years and she has truly loved her experiences there. Both Mary Therese and Kent are professional, personal and caring. My daughter has enjoyed participating in many community charitable events including the Causewave Annual Fundraising Campaign and the Lollipop Farm Annual Telethon. In addition, the training program has given her a chance to learn and practice skills that are not only useful on the runway, but also important life skills. We have always felt that she was in good hands with Mary Therese and look forward to many more years of working with the her!

We "happened" upon this agency through a friend of a friend and we are so glad we did! Mary Therese and Kent Friel are wonderful and amazing people! My 15 year old daughter took private lessons with them and fell in love at the very first one! My daughter has some special needs and we did not know how any of this would work out. Upon our first meeting together, they treated her with incredible dignity, they took the time to get to know her personally. They embraced her for who she was and honored her as a person. She has since taken several private lessons and has learned a lot! We recently had her photo shoot for her portfolio and it was a tremendous experience! The photographer was awesome! She was able to capture such amazing photos, I had tears in my eyes. It is a day we won't soon forget. Mary Therese and Kent exude positive energy, they are encouraging, enthusiastic and fun-loving, all the while being completely professional. They operate with integrity and great character. We look forward to each time we get to spend with them. We look forward to working together in the future!

I have been MTF Models for 17+ years. My experience with the agency has been amazing. Mary Therese Friel and her husband Kent are the most amazing people. They are sweet kind and caring. They make every model feel comfortable in their own skin. Mary Therese teaches us the ropes. The ropes that she has gone throw in her career. I wouldn't ever pick another agency to be apart of. I love them like family. And I hope to be with them for many years to come. Thank you so much The her and her husband for the most gratifying experience that one could ask for in a Modeling, and talent agency.

Thank you again,
Jimmy Vito

My seven-year-old daughter cannot believe one day she will become a model. Mrs. Friel and Mr. Kent found her at National American Miss Competition in Rochester last year. I cannot believe I am writing a review for Mrs. Friel and Mr. Kent now since I read every single google review before my daughter became their model last year. One year passed, being with Mrs. Friel and Mr. Kent became one of the most unforgettable moment in her life. Because of Mrs. Friel, my daughter feels more confident! Because of Mrs. Friel, my daughter loves donation! Because of Mrs. Friel, my daughter learns hard work and perseverance! As a mother, I truly appreciate my daughter's role model Mrs. Friel-a beautiful, elegant and wise lady and Mr. Kent-a handsome and caring gentleman to be part of our life!

My daughter has been with Mary Therese and Kent Friel for the last 2 years. I can't say enough about how amazing they are to work with. Mary Therese and Kent are involved in every aspect of their agency. You will only deal with them directly for everything!! They have high expectations of their models and expect professionalism and class in everything they do. They work with each model individually on what their goals are. My daughter wanted to model and be in pageants. They are helping her to achieve both of these dreams!! She is working for them all the time! My daughter entered their agency 2 years ago as a quiet, unsure, and anxiety ridden teen. She is now a confident, polished, and strong young lady. They are the only ones that we would trust our daughter to!! They are the best!!!

I started with Mary Therese Friel LLC a few months ago and can honestly say that it has been a great experience. Mary and Kent are both incredibly caring individuals and have given me outstanding guidance and mentorship in the world of modeling and acting. The provided lessons have also greatly impacted my skill set and all around knowledge of both fields. I am tremendously grateful to be able to work with them.

My daughter Emma has been with the Mary Therese Friel modeling agency for about 3 years now. The experience has changed her life immensely. I have seen a huge change in her confidence and communicate skills. Just recently she was crowned 2017 New York Sunburst beauty queen. Thank you so much Mary Therese and Kent for helping to make Emma a huge success!

Mary Therese and Kent offer great leadership for their models. The skillset that they instill goes way beyond posing and into the entire presentation of the person! Presentation skills, interview skills, and confidence. Our daughter has been challenged to grow in so many ways through this program. Her inner beauty is celebrated as much as what the camera sees!

I have been with Mary Therese and Kent Friel for almost a year now, and I have to say this has been one of the best years of my life. Everything about this agency is exciting, genuine, conservative, encouraging, and honest. Mary Therese and Kent are both true role models and I look forward to working with them for many more years!

I've been with Mary Therese Friel, LLC for 7+ Years, I highly recommend them for someone who is looking to get started in modeling, acting...etc. Without their training and guidance in the beginning I would have never gotten into the modeling industry, and without their continued guidance I wouldn't have stayed! I love working for Mary Therese and Kent!

I took my son to this Agency! Instantly there was a spiritual connection with this beautiful couple. My son and I have the utmost respect for their professionalism. They have a sincere passion and a loyal commitment for the work that they do. We are so grateful that we found them on the internet. Thank you Mary Therese and Kent. You guys are awesome! Peace& Blessings Always.

We have had an amazing experience working with Mary Therese and Kent. They have shown our daughter the importance of hard work, self assurance, discipline, commitment and being a positive contributing community member!

One of Mary Therese Friel’s remarkable qualities is her warmth. She is able to make anyone feel comfortable and appreciated, without losing sight of her professionalism and efficiency. Her agency teaches and prepares models for the fashion world, but mostly it prepares them to embrace life with grace, beauty and responsibility. Because of that mindset of professionalism, dignity and elegance, she teaches her models, not only to be beautiful, but to be better people. I highly recommend her agency because I have witnessed to her flawless professionalism, her ability to add beauty and grace to any project she is involved with and her exemplary high moral standards. Mary Therese Friel cares for her models and sees them as valuable agents who can really make a difference in the world. She sets the example and inspires them to present themselves worthy of the role they play: models of grace, dignity, character and social involvement.

Mary Therese and Kent Friel are very professional and supportive of their models. Always with a positive word for my daughter, I appreciate that they spend time helping her reach her goals.

Being a part of the Mary Therese Friel Modeling Agency has been informing, transforming and rewarding. After classes I quickly moved into go-sees, commercials, print work, runway modeling, filming a music video, extra work in films, including helping out for various charity events, such as guest chef appearances.I always feel slightly challenged, yet fully equipped to achieve any appointments I've been sent to, knowing that it will be professional, safe and a great experience!

Being from Europe, so far away from home, family, friends, I was able to find a home, family and friends in the Mary Therese Friel agency, which is a blessing to me and many others. As a woman engineer who doesn’t look like an engineer, I was able to express my artistic side with the guidance and support of Mary Therese and Kent Friel by using my exotic, ethnically ambiguous look to make a change in and inspire people to realize that every day is precious. Giving, sharing, helping and bringing a smile to other people’s faces is one of the many benefits of working with Mary Therese and Kent Friel. Mary Therese and Kent never settle for second best and they utilize every opportunity in a productive and determined manner. They thrive off of the entire modeling creative process both the successes and the challenges. Most important, they are always willing to help, guide, assist, support and advise to other models as they struggle through certain instances. Thank you Mary There and Kent Friel for all your hard work and dedication! Respectfully Maja Milicevic-Klugh.
