They keep us on our toes but they bring us endless joy – our babies are the most precious things in the world.
And if we plan to introduce them to the world of modelling, we need to know they will be well looked after at all times.
So, with that in mind, Models Direct wants to highlight 10 of the most important things to understand in this guide to baby modelling.
1 Make sure you sign your baby up to a reputable, genuine agency. Models Direct has been working with tiny tots for over 30 years now. We are fully government-regulated and accredited and we treat all our beautiful baby models and their parents with the utmost care.
2 Read the feedback from the parents of baby models who have actually worked with an agency before deciding whether or not to put your own bouncing bundle of joy forward.
3 Take lots of lovely photos of your precious treasure, then fill in our form and send the pictures to us. One of our friendly team members will then be in touch.
4 Our agent will explain how important it is that you update your baby’s e-portfolio regularly. We and our clients need to be sure we are seeing the very latest photographs otherwise it might be hard to put your little one forward for assignments – after all, babies change so quickly!
5 Have a good understanding of how our process works: clients approach us for baby models, we offer them a suitable selection and they make the final choice. This does mean we cannot guarantee work to any of our beautiful baby models. But, the more diligent you are about maintaining their e-portfolio, the more likely it is that your little one will be selected for work.
6 If you’re offered an assignment, your point of contact at Models Direct will give you all the relevant information and keep you updated as the day approaches. You are very welcome to call them too if you have any questions or concerns.
7 You may well be offered refreshments on the day but take snacks and drinks for yourself, as well as everything your baby might need. Bring a few toys and books so you can keep your tot entertained when necessary. We will require you to be with your baby at all times.
8 The professional production crew on the day will be experienced at working with babies and will guide you and offer support as needed.
9 After the event, Models Direct will contact you, so you can tell us how you found the experience. We take all feedback on board and strive to improve at all times.
10 Our team will also ensure you are paid promptly. We hope you and your baby will enjoy modelling with us and that the fee you earn will be a welcome extra.
