Spring is the perfect season for focusing on awakening and rejuvenation. It’s ready for landscapes to blossom, beautiful colours to renew and positive vibes to filter through.
When it comes to child models registered with our modelling agency, Models Direct, this means reminding parents and guardians that it’s time to get those smartphones on standby and get ready to capture the joy of this amazing season with your child taking centre stage. We’ll offer you our expert top tips to make their ePortfolio dazzle.
Get outside
Making the most of the natural light and multitude of outdoor options makes spring the perfect time of year to get those glorious images in. We’re thinking dreamy flower gardens, fields, and the rays of the sun can make for enchanting images.
Capture the perfect light
We’ve mentioned the “golden hour” in previous blogs but as a gentle reminder, here it is again, in this blog, where we’re reminding you to perhaps utilise it if you can. The time to capture this is just after sunrise and before sunset, so grab this bonus and make your child model‘s collection of snaps illuminate.
Think angles and perspectives
Amplify the images you’re creating by changing how you’re taking the shots rather than where and when. Think close-up, eye-level snaps or images with some greenery poking from a corner or two to compliment the season.

Important moments
When your child flashes the biggest grin, or swoops in and runs through a local park, you’ll know that these are the special moments you need to grab.
Dress the part (but keep it simple!)
It can be tempting to put on elaborate clothes in a bid to zhuzh up your child model’s portfolio collection but we’d recommend going for pastel or floral prints to go well with the season’s kaleidoscope of colours.
If you’re ready and happy for your child to register, (aged 2-12) then you’re at the right place. Apply here and see which campaigns our modelling agency is getting ready to showcase your little one for.
