I've never heard of that specific agency so can't comment on them directly. But as a general rule it's against the law for a model or talent agency in Florida (model agencies are considered Talent Agencies under the law) to charge their models for photos, workshops, etc. Read the Florida Film Commission website
http://www.filminflorida.com/ela/tma.asp
"By law, Talent agencies are NOT allowed to charge a registration fee! No talent agency shall, as a condition to obtaining employment for any artist, require the artist to subscribe to, purchase, or attend any publication, postcard service, advertisement, resume service, photography service, school, acting school, workshop, acting workshop, or video or audiotapes!"

Since all model and talent agencies operating in the state of Florida are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), if you find any agency who is either not registered or is breaching the law you should report it so they can investigate
Customer Contact Center: 850.487.1395

They will advise if this company is operating within the law or not, and if you have any recourse if you were charged for photos

I don't know if the agency you mention is legit or not but contact the DBPR on Monday and ask them if this is allowed
