Baby modelling – what clients ask for

Models Direct receives all sorts of different requests for baby models from its diverse clients.

Apply to be a model

One day we could be looking for a six-month-old for a baby clothing shoot and the next we could be seeking a one-year-old to be part of a family group for a holiday advertisement.

Some requests are for babies of very specific ages and looks, while others might be more general but perhaps require their parents to be able to travel quite a distance with them.

We like to be transparent about the way we work and we feel it is helpful to the parents of our baby models to have an understanding of what our clients are looking for.

So here are a few examples of the kinds of requests we receive:

Independent photographer requires toddlers to advertise cots and bedroom furniture.

Babies, three months old, needed for top clothing supplier in London.

Production company is searching for a newborn baby girl, preferably premature, for a six-part drama series.
