How to apply for baby and child modelling

Published: 12th Jul 2024

Applying for baby and child modelling could not be easier, you just have to be sure you have chosen the right agency for you and your child.

Models Direct has been in the business for over 30 years now and during that time has sent its young models along to a wide variety of assignments for all sorts of clients.

Every single job is carefully checked out and every new client is thoroughly investigated.

This is because we want to be sure that all our young models are in safe hands and are undertaking work we would be happy to send our own children along to.

Models Direct has sent babies, toddlers and teens along to photo and film shoots for smaller clients in areas close to where the models live.

We have also offered them work with bigger name clients, including national and international brands.

Some of these might be close to home and others might involve some travel, with expenses paid, of course.

We always ask the parents of our baby and child models to give us feedback and let us know how they found the experience and we take on board any of their suggestions.

We always discuss the fee with them before they decide whether or not to accept a job – and we always ensure prompt payment afterwards.

So how do you apply for baby and child modelling?

Firstly, spend some time taking some great new shots of your little one. You can use your phone or a digital camera – just follow our tips to make sure your images are sharp and clear.

Then, fill in our form, giving us all the information we need about your son or daughter – age, height, hair and eye colour etc – and upload some of your pictures too.

One of our friendly team members will then be in touch. They will tell you more about how we work and can answer any questions you might have.

They will tell you about our initial admin fee, what it covers and the kind of work your baby or child might be offered through us.

You can also read reviews from other parents and our blogs to find out more.

You can then decide if you think modelling is right for your little one and whether or not to proceed with your application.

If you decide to go ahead, our panel will decide whether your child is right for us and get back in touch as soon as possible.

It really is that straightforward!

This is what baby Lincoln’s mum said after his first job with us:

“A really easy process from sign-up to my -five-month-old son getting his first job.

“We had a great day. It was all well organised.”

And cute Ellison’s mum told us:

“We have been registered with Models Direct for only a few weeks and he has already had his first job.”

“Joining an agency like Models Direct gives us the opportunity to be put forward for exciting opportunities.

“Models Direct works on your behalf and does the job hunting for you.
