Maria for Valentino 7 months, Reference: P592594
RELAXING ATMOSPHERE
Valentino had a great day with Kit for Kids modelling for their new nursery collection. We weren’t quite sure what to expect, however Valentino had a great experience and his favourite part was having his photo taken. The client was superb and worked around Valentino's schedule and there was also a really relaxed and easy going atmosphere which was great. I would definitely recommend the experience - the babies are doing something different for the day, interacting with new people and learning something new. We chose Talent Management as it has a great reputation, and we thought if we decide to get Valentino into some baby modelling we wanted to use reputable company. Lots of people have said how cute Valentino is so we thought why not, let’s give it a try and see where it gets him!
Emma for Caprice age 4 months, Reference: Z608515
POSING AND LEARNING
Caprice absolutely loved her first ever modelling assignment today at Kit for Kids - she really enjoyed herself and even posed when having her picture taken! The team were so lovely; they asked me to lay her down in a cot where various shots of her were taken whilst wearing a beautiful Kit for Kids sleeping bag. She also had shots taken of her on a changing mat with an adult model.
On the shoot today I can see she has definitely gained confidence when around other people and now has experience of what an assignment might involve. I would highly recommend this experience to others, especially mums, because it was so nice to meet the other mums and share our thoughts and experiences.
I think anyone thinking about entering and working in the talent industry (whether baby or adult) should pursue their dream. It’s not only encouraging for babies but a definite learning curve and lifetime of captured memories to look back on. I will be proactive in pursuing work for Caprice and will carry on updating her e-portfolio on a regular basis.
I am thrilled that I joined Caprice up to Talent Management so she will have as many opportunities that I can give her in life and I think it will be something she will be able to look back on and be proud of.

A SUNNY BABY
Elsie did a photoshoot advertising sunblinds for pushchairs. She had to sit in a few different pushchairs with various blinds attached to them. She was very patient and happy, and really enjoyed the experience. The photographer and organiser were very good with Elsie and made her feel very comfortable. A male model did a few photos with her and he was equally as good with her. She was very content to be with everyone.
Katy for Max aged 1, Reference: Y230513
THE "HERO" BABY
We never expected that Max would be chosen as the “hero” baby for the Pampers campaign. We were delighted and so proud of him. It has been a lovely experience and we look forward to embarrassing him with the story when
he is older.
Amy for Sienna-Mae aged 1, Reference: Y242952
BUGGY BABY
Sienna-Mae really enjoyed her first experience of being a model. She was made to feel at ease as soon as we got there and she really enjoyed all of the attention. Sienna-Mae was asked to do some shots in and around the buggy. The nicest thing was that if they felt she needed a break they would stop for a little while. It was a nice experience that I would be more than happy for Sienna-Mae to do again.
Rachael for Regan aged 9 mths, Reference: G252470
CAUGHT ON FILM
The Models Direct assignment felt new and exciting, it was nice to chat to other mums who were there with their children. It was really good! The best thing about the assignment was seeing my son Regan being filmed; I thought he did really well. I'm sure Regan enjoyed it as well. Regan was asked to lay down on his back and front on a table and be filmed just playing and kicking around. I thought he did great and we both enjoyed ourselves!

REPRESENTING PAMPERS
The Models Direct assignment for Pampers was a great experience for Max. Max loved meeting all the new people and everyone was very sweet to him. The photographer, Jo, was particularly nice and made sure the babies were happy and comfortable at all times. There was no pressure and everyone was very professional.
Evelyn For Jayden aged 1, Reference: P237985
SLEEPING ON THE JOB
The photoshoot went very well. Jayden did what was expected of him. The photograher came to me and said that Jayden done very great job. He did a sleeping shoot for Pampers and he did sleep very well and they were very happy so i think everything went extremly well. We were well looked after.
Evelyn For Jayden aged 1, Reference: P237985
BEING 'PAMPERED'
Jayden enjoyed himself and I could see he had a good time. The best thing about the assignment was that everyone was very friendly and caring. It was a 'Pampers' photo shoot and Jayden had to pose lying on his belly, looking up and smiling. Thank you for letting us represent you.
Krystal for Amelia aged 1, Reference: H245060
TV STAR
Amelia thoroughly enjoyed her first assignment and loved all the cameras and lights etc. Amelia particularly enjoyed being with her fellow models and has made 2 new friends. The assignment was to be a baby model for Channel 4's "Sex Education Show". Amelia's part in this was to be cared for by 2 teenagers who were asked to change her nappy and feed her. The idea was to show teenagers the consequences of unprotected sex and how much hard work is involved in having a baby. Amelia behaved impeccably and enjoyed all the attention she was getting from the teenagers, presenter, production and crew. We hope any future assignments are as successful as today!
Alexandra for Paige, Reference: Y238641
TEACHING TEENS
Paige completed her first assignment for Models Direct. The assignment was for Endemol productions. The filming took place in the afternoon in a high school. The assignment was for The Sex Education Show, where 6 teenage students were to experience changing a nappy and to feed Paige along with two other babies. The idea was to show how difficult it can be to have a child. Paige was comfortable and happy through out the day taking in the new environment and meeting new people. I felt comfortable and was in the room all the time during filming. The film crew were lovely and very understanding, emphasing that if at any point I was unhappy they would stop filming. The team provided us with food and refreshments during the day. The whole experience was very enjoyable and we can not wait for another opportunity. Models Direct have been fantastic; there was excellent communication regarding the assignment.
Rachel for Jayden, Reference: H239127
LAUGHING TO THE CAMERA
The assignment was a good day. Jayden looked like he enjoyed the day most of the time, laughing and gurgling to the camera. Jayden had his nappy changed and was fed in a high chair by a teenage couple.
Denise for Ruth, Reference: Z239754
SWEET DREAMS
The assignment went well and the client was very patient and accommodating. It was a lovely calm atmosphere, and although Ruth cannot speak for herself, I can say that she felt very relaxed. The best thing about the day was seeing it all came together, and realising how much hard work goes into these shoots. Ruth had to sleep, which may sound easy, but it is hard to get a baby to sleep on command. Nevertheless, it was fun trying.
Julia For Harry, Reference: L236500
PLAYING THE ROLE
We had an early start to the day but Harry arrived in good spirits. He had to play an unwanted baby and therefore the shoots were natural shots of him in the other models' arms. It took an hour or so to get enough pictures and he was really good. I'm really glad it went smoothly as it's obviously a little nerve wracking being his first assignment. We were made to feel incredibly welcome and everyone was lovely which made for a nice, relaxing experience.
Georgina For Harrison & Jake, Reference: R238252
DOUBLE TROUBLE
It was very exciting. Harrison and Jake seemed interested and happy to participate and sit in pushchairs as required. Both Harrison and Jake were asked to model sitting in various pushchairs for a pushchair accessory shoot. Sun shades and winter snugs were used on the pushchairs with Harrison/Jake demonstrating the use of the accessory. I dressed the twins as requested by Jakki who was very good with Harrison and Jake who seemed at ease throughout our assignment. It was a great start and introduction to Harrison and Jake's modeling.
Amy For Elsie, Reference: P236853
ENJOYING THE ATTENTION
Elsie was very content and happy throughout the shoot. She had a few change of clothes and change of props. She remained calm and looked like she enjoyed all the attention. The photographer was really helpful and good at getting Elsie's attention. They were very patient when it came to feed time and gave Elsie time to have a breaks. I was pleased with the whole experience and hope to have more to look forward to in the future.
Lucia For Sofia aged 1, Reference: P215729
GAINING EXPERIENCE
The assignment went well. Sofia has now gained some modelling experience.
Heather for Mirah, Reference: Y216113
A NATURAL!
The assignment was fun for both Mirah and myself and very interesting. Being a model for the day Mirah seemed to feel at ease and happy with the people around her and her surroundings. The best thing about the assignment was seeing how Mirah reacted to the situation which was in a very positive way, she seems to be a natural in front of the camera. I was asked to put Mirah in her high chair while a scene was filmed with a women who was meant to be her mother. some thing I would say to someone thinking of being a model is If you think your child is suited to being a baby model or in front of a camera with lots of people then give it a go... It makes you very proud to see your baby enjoying themselves and it gives you something to look back on in the years to come. Being paid is also a bonus!
Tracey for Lola aged 1, Reference: Z199406
BEACH BABY
The 1st assignment, it was fun and Lola seemed to enjoy herself, modelling 7 outfits on the beach. We loved meeting new people and it was something different. Lola had to wear 7 different outfits and model them on brighten pier and beach, all the shoots were natural i.e. playing and running around. Summer (the coordinator) at Models Direct was very professional, giving us all the relevant information we needed. We had fun and are looking forward to other assignments.
Many thanks Models Direct.
Tris For Meadow, Reference: G205847
WARM WELCOME
Overall the photoshoot was fun and interesting, she was fantastic and laughed all the way through. We received a nice warm welcome and waiting facilities etc were good. The team were very understanding and supportive. All in all though, a good experience. Thanks for the opportunity.
Bianca for Alicia, Reference: H204708
BABIES 'R' US
Babies 'R' Us Photoshoot: Alicia did really well, she was smiling and waving at the camera. The photos came out really good. Alicia was able to easily pose for the shots that were requested of her.
Terry for Tiona, Reference: Z208790
HAVING A GREAT TIME
We had a great time on the assignment, for Babies 'R' Us.
Leah, Reference: N195683
A PRO ON SET
The photoshoot went really well, Leah worked well with them and the photographer came to us and said she did a great job. Leah was great on set and we believe that they got the shoots that they needed.
Laura & Megan aged 4 months, Reference: 203064
EASTENDERS' TWINS TAKE TURNS
Feedback from the BBC photoshoot. Models Direct twins Laura and Megan, promote 'Eastenders'. When Laura got tired of the bright lights, Megan would take a turn, that's show business!
Several different magazines, each with a 25 minute time slot and the girls had a different outfit for each one. The cast members that we worked with were really good with the babies and the photographer was really patient. Megan and Laura were given plenty of time for naps and feeds which was really important as they still are so small.
As a first assignment it was very interesting and exciting, we have learned a lot from the assignment and really look forward to the next one.

DOUBLE ACT
Just finished filming, the twins loved it, everyone made them feel very at home and fun for them. They really enjoyed all the attention and fuss that was made of them and we look forward to doing the rest of the series.
Thanks Julie.
