Stecyk,

Perhaps my comment came off a little callous which is not my intent. I appreciate your comments. I guess I got the feeling from reading the article that it was a very big casting call and she was one of ten people chosen for silhouettes. I guess my thoughts were that she was a pretty unknown model (very big open casting call) and she got a paid gig with Apple to put on her resume. She certainly didn't make very much money but at the time she thought it was a nice paycheck. Now she can leverage that paid assignment from Apple into other work through aggressive marketing. As has been written here and elsewhere before, it's not always the most talented photographers and models who make the most money, it's the ones that know how to market themselves the best. One of the hardest things in marketing is getting in the door to be considered and I personally feel the Apple gig gives her a door opener she never had before. Anyway, my apologies for sounding uncaring and back to the OP's request.

Sarah, you sound like an intelligent person, just keep in mind it has to benefit both parties and consider all the opportunities and you'll do great. Do let us know how it comes out.
