It was always a compliment but I always wondered why just my face?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAround the age of 15 I really wanted to give modelling a try. I figured I could do beauty work but I never even considered I could model clothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mother and I went to a casting agency call in Canada where I met with dozens of agencies. A few were interested, some told me they\u2019d need me to get much smaller but I knew that wasn\u2019t happening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the time I was seriously active in competitive basketball and my body was extremely toned and fit. There wasn\u2019t much weight for me to lose. Luckily there were a few agencies telling me I could work at the size I was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All Pring had to do was show that she was comfortable in front of the camera. Well it\u2019s no secret that she was, and ever since being signed by a modelling agency, has enjoyed high profile success. From walking for Jean Paul Gaultier&#8217;s spring 2011 catwalk to flossing her beauty for the Levi\u2019s Jeans ad, this curvaceous stunner is making a name for herself without having to change who she is.<\/p>\n<p>We at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modelsdirect.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Models Direct<\/a>, Talent Management&#8217;s dedicated modelling division, are among the pro-body diversity agencies.<\/p>\n<p>We are know that we can find beautiful and talented models work at the size they are. \u2013 whether that be plus size, petite or even muscular \u2013 our clients are always looking for a wide range of models.
