The world of baby modeling can be fun, dynamic and an excellent way for you to start putting some money aside for your child’s future. However, finding where to start has always been a challenge – believe me I KNOW.

So this blog is for you and helping you to follow the right path to quick success for you and your child.

Before we delve in though take note of the key first steps:

1. Take a variety of good quality photos.  These do not need to be professional, in fact candid shots can be wonderful.  Just make sure you use plenty of color and show different expressions.

2. Submit your photos to at least a couple of baby modeling photo contests like CuteKid or The Great American Photo Contest.  This will give you a taste of the industry standards and also your babies general appeal.  Plus yuou may win a lot of cash!

3.  Submit the photos with all of your babies essential details to several reputable agencies.  The experience from the previous step will also allow you to highlight any successes and also what your child offers over another.

Remember, this third step is very important as the baby modeling agency that promotes your child will have a HUGE impact on their success.  So make sure you have taken the time to be involved, and also do your homework and choose an agency that is a perfect fit for you and your family.

The quickest and easiest way to have your baby recognized is to enter them into a baby picture photo contest.  Unlike finding an agency and doing all the legwork, a baby photo contest offers these benefits:

* By choosing a large contest you know that the company behind it is credible and thereby avoiding those dodgy ones that are trying to take advantage of you.

* A LOT of different baby modeling agencies watch these contests carefully for up and coming models and they approach YOU.  None of those nerve wracking interviews and long delays in getting your baby into the business.

* Immediate portfolio and evidence of awards.  Getting professional shots can be expensive but the winner will often have further shots taken by the competition presenter that you can then use free of charge.

* Can be entered remotely so that you do not need to travel to the major cities to get your child started out (this alone can save a lot of upfront)

So get cracking and good luck!

The other day I was looking through some contests and came across a new one – a beach baby contest! Now I thought this would be very cute as I my own kids always look gorgeous with brightly coloured hats and swimmers on and I realised that this is fantastic contest to enter as it is all about colour and about fun so is a great one for babies that are a little bit shyer as the beach often brings out expressions of wonder at the sea, or excitement over a bucket and spade.
So if you live near a beach I would recommend taking advantage of this, and when you go try to take some shots which include as much colour and brightness as possible (and use ISO 100 film), and bring in some aspects to capture those special moods of your baby. The pictures will be amazing believe me.

If you are just starting out then the very best thing you can do is to enter some free baby photo competitions. These will give you a small but highly illuminating understanding of the baby modeling industry and they will offer up an opportunity to see if this is an area that you would like to pursue in the longer term without any need to put up any cash. Of course it is also a great opportunity to earn some money for your childs college fund.

The biggest advantage in free baby photo competitions is that they are FREE, the biggest disadvatage is that this means that they therefore have a higher level of participation and thereby more competition to achieve the prize. The prize however can vary quite dramatically so you can make some good money. As there is no layout you can also enter as many of these as you like. The quality varies a lot but oyu have nothing to lose so get started now.

If you are more artistic or would like your child to be involved in something a bit more interesting than the standard business advertising campaigns, then a good option is to try baby photo art. This field is a bit harder to find contacts for, and may not pay nearly as well – in fact there are a lot of artisits that are looking for volunteers. However, the benefit is that you will usually recieve a copy of the works in place of payment and this can be spectacular and a really beautiful momento for you and your family.
So if you get the chance then I recommend doing this at least one just for the fun of it. Of course take all the usual precautions and find out exactly what the artwork is about, but otherwise just have some fun.

The ultimate in work that you can get in this industry is to be involved in baby modeling commercials and you should do whatever it takes to be involved if at all possible. The reasons for this are:

1. Commercials will usually pay a premium above that of a standard photo shoot
2. They tend to be shown in more locations and at various times meaning you get a royalty cheque more often so that you are still receiving money long after the actual commercial was shot (this depends on the contract)
3. You will get a higher level of exposure which can lead to other high level or simply better quality set of work.
4. There may be opportunities for your child to develop and try acting or be animated rather than just sitting still for the camera. This is more fun for your baby and will let you and everyone else know where this may lead in the future.

So the day arrives and your child is the baby photo winner of the hour. Congratulations! The question is what do you do now? Well first off you will be contacted by the contest organisers and usually paid via cheque. But what you really want to do is to use that win to attract other wins and other jobs, so the first thing you need to do is to ensure you have a copy of the winning photo/s and to start creating your baby modeling portfolio. This will include the title that the picture has won and any details that may be relevant. You can then build on this with every new win you acheive.

The second step is to speak to the organisers and to see if there are any affiliates or jobs that are associated with the competitions that you can then use and start the promotion process.

One of the most successful ways to win the baby picture contests is to do something a little big different and one that I particularly like is using a set of shots that represent each month of the year, like what you would see in a baby photo calendar. This can be incredibly cute but also provides an identifiable theme to each shot which makes the viewer comfortable and also get involved as they want to see what the next picture will be. For instance, christmas may be dressed as santa by the tree whilst April may be in a basket with Easter eggs.

What’s even better is that at the end of it all, whether you win or lose you will still have the set of shots and can create your own baby photo calendar to send to family and friends.

As discussed previously, baby modeling and acting go very well hand in hand and an acting career is often a natural progression from modeling at ANY age. The reason for this I find is that the acting provides an outlet for the individual to present themselves as personalities over and above their looks and to allow themselves more expression.
But before you present your child for this next step you need to consider if this is suitable for your child. If you think about the time and effort that it takes to be involved in modeling, then it is the same in acting but two-fold. The pressure is on, the criticism is high and your childs disposition becomes a lot more important as they do not use as many babies so they can’t just edit your child out as easily. But if your baby is a naturally buoyant personality and enjoys modeling then give it a try.

baby modeling and acting is a post from: Baby Modeling Agencies where you can find all the information you need to begin a baby modeling career.

A lot of parents get their children into the baby modeling industry but then start to think where to from here? Well one of the best avenues is to join a baby acting agency. Obviously a baby is not able to do much to begin with, but by enrolling at a young age you give your child the best chance of feeling confident in front of the camera and learning to take direction from the photographers and cameramen. I find that children from this industry are usually very confident. However please do not indulge your child too much as I also find these children can become self-centred so you need to watch that!

The other benefit of this area is that the salaries are a lot higher for an form of acting and particularly when they are old enough to speak.

Online baby photo contests are by far the easiest of all contests to enter and best of all they also have some of the highest reader rates available. Because of this they are able to offer higher cash payments for the winners and also provide a great level of publicity so that you have the potential to be discovered and propelled into stardom in other areas of the industry. This is particularly true of well know competitions such as ‘cutekid’ which offer a very high profile site and are known throughout the industry.

Finally, you will find that a lot of the online baby picture contests have numerous competitions throughout the year and therefore provide more opportunities to achieve the top spot which is always nice.

To continue our series on baby models casting calls, the next point to consider is how you are going to present your baby on the day. There are three things that I would recommend that you consider:

Clothing – casting calls are often full of potential candidates that all look the same. Try to be a bit different so that your child stands out from the crowd.

Purpose – many casting calls are set up for a particular campaign or purpose so you should be very aware of what this is about. You can then dress your baby accordingly and ensure that the judges will be able to picture your child in the adverts easily.

Personality – This is the perfect forum for a child to really show their personality but remember there will be a lot going on so you need to be sure your baby is able to cope with crowds and that they are well rested so you will be able to show them at their very best.

Other than that you can turn up and have some fun!

If you have decided that the baby model castings is a good option for you then the next step is to search out ones that suit you and your child. Unlike the baby modeling agencies, the casting calls are often advertised both locally and on the web so should be relatively easy to find. There are however two points that I would note before you attend:

1. Make sure that you choose casting calls that are fairly local to you unless it is for a really major campaign. The reason for this is that the casting call is in a particular region for a purpose and you may need to travel back and forth quite a lot if you land some work.

2. Check out the reputation of the casting agents if at all possible. As with baby modeling agencies there are scam artisits out there that will charge to be considered or will cheat you on commissions and the like which will mean even if you win at the casting call, you really lose.

An area of the baby modeling industry that is often overlooked at the outset is baby modeling castings. Yet these are an excellent opportunity as they provide a different forum than the usual baby picture contests or baby modeling agencies.

As you will probably already be aware, the best agencies are often in big cities and thus can be restrictive for many parents and babies, while a picture contest will not allow the child to be see in person and the full depth of their personality taken into consideration. As such the baby modeling castings provide a middle ground where you can really showcase the talents of your child without needing to be with an agency.

baby modeling casting calls

One of the most nerve racking moments for me was when we were invited to our first baby modeling casting calls.  We did not know what to expect or whether this would be the start of something great or the end before it had even begun.

But set your mind at ease because it is all very straightforward.  The main thing is to be prepared and no matter what you do just don’t be late!  As long as you have a selection of clothing available and your baby is in a good mood then you will pretty much be like every other mother there and put yourself in the best possible position to suceed.

They are however still very important.  It is here that you need to convince the clients that your baby is the one for the job so try to make sure you dress your child appropriately for the planned job and is well slept and ready to sit still in front of some very strange characters…

Juried photo competitions are very much like the usual baby modeling photo competitions except that instead of the decision being made by one or two judges from the company, the decision is given into the hands of the jury/the voting public.  This has a huge impact on whether or not your child will be picked as the images required will need to be different and you will need to realise that what other parents and readers will be looking for in a winning baby may be very differnt from what the judges think.

This is a very subjective field, but if you have some pictures that hold a very wide appeal then this form of competition may be idea.  Plus, it means that you can get into the winning ranks where in other competitions you would not be considered appropriate for the job.  Just think about X-factor and the number of contestants that have stayed even though their actual singing is dire.

The number 1 baby modeling contest available would have to be the cute kid photo contest and is an absolute must if you are going to go down this route of contests.  The reasons for this are numerous, but in general:

• The major prize is $25,000 and there are also earlier prizes that can also be secured.
• There is a VERY large network of people involved in this website and the competition so it can provide you with an excellent group of contacts and other parents that you can talk to and with whom you can compete.
• Due to the sheer size and reputation of this site any baby or child on it has massive exposure and a very good chance of not only taking the $25,000 but also gaining further work from this endeavor.

Whatever your reason for joining this website you will not be disappointed with the support, the ease of use or the rewards.

For those of you that have very talented children or are more interested in the commercial side of the baby modeling field, then you may want to search out some baby talent agents that can provide you with the focus and attention that this needs.  Yes, the big agencies are good at modeling, but they are not as red hot on the talent side in most cases so an agent will offer more support and connections for this field.  It does however depend on the talents you are trying to sell and also on the age of the child.

There are quite a few of these agents out there but as this is a more specialised field there is not always as much work so beware.  On the flip side if your child is particularly talented then they can secure less but higher paying gigs in return.

baby talent agents is a post from: Baby Modeling Agencies where you can find all the information you need to begin a baby modeling career.

Is your baby not only beautiful but talented as well?  Is there something about you and your baby that sets you apart from the other children?  If there is some serious baby talent then you should use that to your advantage as well.  In this industry there are thousands of babies and children that are pretty much the same.  Blue eyes, blonde hair and a cheeky grin can be a great asset for some, but it also puts you in one of the largest demographics of baby models.  So in order to ensure YOU are getting the work that you want then you should try to differentiate yourself from the competition.  One of the ways to do this is to highlight any skills that your child has that may be useful to the photographer.

As your child is obviously quite young these skills can be anything from crawling to speaking and everything in between.  It may just be that they want a very small but advanced child and you can offer that.  So pay attention and market whatever you can!

baby modeling commercials

If you want to get into baby modeling then you definitely want to get your baby into baby modeling commercials as well.  These go hand in hand as many commercials will also have print media to go with them so you end up with two jobs rather than just the one.

On top of this the baby commercials often pay a lot more than standard photographic work.  However be warned that this type of work can be quite hard on your child as there is a lot more going on in the set.  Also, due to the costs involved to produce a commercial there is a lot more time pressue involved so you had better be sure that your baby has the temperament and disposition to cope with all of these elements.

The big agencies get a lot of this work so if you are interested then you should speak to them and see what is required to get involved at this level as well.

One of my friends recently went for a job as a mother and baby modeling duo and I thought it was worth to note this here as another potential avenue for those of you mothers out there that would like to get into the industry yourselves, or just for those that would like to have something to remember the time together when your baby is older.

mother and baby modeling

The best part of this is that it offers an opportunity for you to provide the agency with another selling point for your child.  This will set you apart from other babies and make you more attractive to a photographer.  It also has the added benefit of meaning that you can hold your baby or be close by and provide a calming influence that is always excellent in a shoot.

So if you think you have what it takes to get in front of the camera yourself you should use it!

mother and baby modeling is a post from: Baby Modeling Agencies where you can find all the information you need to begin a baby modeling career.

Another BIG consideration when you are looking into the world of baby modeling is to look at your location and where the local baby modeling agencies can be found.  It is a basic fact that most of the big reputable agencies are located in big cities as this is where the photographers and clients are also based.  Because of this you may find that your LOCAL baby modeling agent is 50 miles away rather than around the corner, and if this is the case you will need to be prepared to travel long distances on a very regular basis if you are to make a go of it.

For those of you that live in a big city like New York, London, Sydney or LA then this will be plenty of options available, but for those of you outside these zones you will be restricted in who is available to represent your baby and also how much work they will be able to find you that is local to you.

If you find a good one though then you may find that there are less clients and the local work that is available can be yours for the taking.

When you enter baby photo contest competitions you need to think about the objectives that you have in doing so as this will impact upon the type of competitions that you should enter.  I find this quite important as I don’t want to waste my time, effort and sometimes money on going into a competitions that will not really give me what I am looking for even if I do win.  There are literally thousands of competitions out there so you want to focus your energy on what suits.

For instance, an online baby photo contest is great to see public perception and can rake in some serious cash, however a magazine baby picture contest will provide a huge amount of exposure for your child which will in turn be likely to provide more work in future.

At the outset when your baby has little experience it may be good just to get out there and then go for more exposure as they progress but this is completely up to you.

christmas baby photo contest

One of the busiest times of the baby modeling year is that of Christmas.  Children are used for almost all advertising at this time and this is just as true with the christmas baby photo contest.  The benefits to you are two-fold.  First of all this provides you with a plethora of competitions to be involved in and thereby provides cash and exposure.

Secondly it allows you to add interest to your photos by using the Christmas theme.  The key here is to use christmas objects, ornaments and locations.  Think of a baby wrapped tightly in a big red blanket with the contrast of pure white snow in the background.  Just try to avoid the same old picture of a baby in a santa claus hat like the one to the left.  Yes it is very cute and I love it, but every second child does this and it can get boring for the judges.

Basically my advice is to be creative.  Look around your home and what clothes your baby has and you may be surprised what you can come up with.

christmas baby photo contest is a post from: Baby Modeling Agencies where you can find all the information you need to begin a baby modeling career.

Okay, so now you know that you want to enter a baby competition.  The next step is to then find the right competitions as there are so many to choose between.  Now it really depends on what your objectives are in entering the competitions are in the first place, but if it is mainly for money or the title then one option is to submit your pictures to online sites that are based in another smaller country – for instance, baby photo competitions australia.  By entering this market you have a smaller competition base and therefore a better chance of winning.

The one proviso with this is that you will also have to check into the competition policies and regulations as sometimes this is not allowed and any winnings cannot be paid so beware.  But as long as you check the small print you could win the smaller baby photo competitions in places like australia and then use the exposure to hit the bigger markets.

While it is definitely not necessary to create any baby model portfolios at the outset and for auditions, it is still a good idea to document your childs career path, previous work and campaigns.

These photos will show a future photographer how pliable your child is, and if they have been used in the final cut of the shoot then it also indicates that you have a child with the right temperament for modeling.  This actually surprised me at first, but you will find that in many photo shoots that are conducted with babies that your cherub will not be the only baby there for the role, and that in fact there may be multiples all for the same role.  Don’t worry about the financial side as you will be paid regardless, but take note that only the best photographs will  be used.  So if your baby acts up or does not shoot that well, while you will be paid you will  not end up with any usable photographs.

baby model portfolios is a post from: Baby Modeling Agencies where you can find all the information you need to begin a baby modeling career.

Whether you have signed up for an baby modeling agency or have made some contacts of your own, the baby photography competitions are still an important element in your babies development and overall success in this industry.

The reason for this is that many magazines and product developers will have their own competitions to find suitable baby models and do not use an agency at all.  Which in turn means that if you do not apply then you will miss out on the opportunity to have your child on some very major campaigns and also to gain substantial amounts of income that is not decreased by a commission.

The benefits are really quite numerous and while it does take more time and effort, I believe that the results far outweigh that extra input that is required at the beginning.  Just imagine how you will feel when you see your beautiful baby gracing the front cover of a baby or parenting magazine.

baby photography competitions is a post from: Baby Modeling Agencies where you can find all the information you need to begin a baby modeling career.

I would like to follow on from a previous post and look at the issue of criticism.  It is a well known fact that any baby modeling agent is likely to be highly critical of both your child and quite often in baby modeling – you!  Now for some this can be a bit too much and quite overwhelming, and for others it can be a learning experience.

However I would say that the truth of the matter is somewhere in the middle.  The reason for this is that different photographers, agencies and clients want different things from their babies so the key is to take their suggestions on board, see if they are reasonable and achievable and then change what you can.  But most importantly just take everything with a grain of salt and just keep on going.

baby modeling agent is a post from: Baby Modeling Agencies where you can find all the information you need to begin a baby modeling career.

So you have attended the face to face audition with the baby modeling agencys representatives.  They tell you that they like your baby and they make some suggestions as to how he or she can be improved and what is needed.  So what do you do next?  Quite a large number of parents take offense that anyone could possibly criticise their child and leave.

If this is you then you probably are not cut out for this industry.  Agents are critical and they have to be so if you cannot take the heat then this is not your market.  If however, you understand this then my recommendation is to take thier advice and then show them what you have done.  If the baby modeling agencys have taken some time out to show you the ropes then they are giving you a chance.  You just have to take it.

baby modeling agencys follow up is a post from: Baby Modeling Agencies where you can find all the information you need to begin a baby modeling career.

Another pet peeve of baby modeling agencies is when parents misrepresent their children.  Yes the photos that you send in should be the best they can be, but when you hit the modeling agency for baby face time you want them to see a child that looks as good if not better in reality.  You also want to make sure that you have sent in an up to date picture.

Although babies do change quickly and there is some flexibility it is still important that a chubby child in picture is not now quite suddenly a skinny baby or vice versa.  These are small things but they make an impression.  Make sure you make a good one.

Modeling Agency For Baby Photos is a post from: Baby Modeling Agencies where you can find all the information you need to begin a baby modeling career.

One of the hardest parts of your whole journey is finding the right baby models agency and getting a face to face audition set up.  Unfortunately it is at this point many parents really lose the plot and forget one simple rule – DONT BE LATE!

It is a simple task but a lot more important than you think.  The reason for this is that a lot of people in this industry including the models are paid on an hourly rate, so if the agency cannot trust you to be on time for your very first interview  how can they trust you to be on time for a photo shoot?  Do they want to risk the time and money you will therefore cost?

So please do not get this wrong.  If you need to, then leave home early and have a coffee nearby as no excuse is good enough.  This is particularly true of parents as they seem to constantly blame their babies..

Okay so you have located the best baby modeling agents in town.  Excellent!  Now the next step is to investigate these agents and check that not only do they meet the criteria in general but do they meet the criteria for YOU?  While most agencies that will meet your general needs it is important to check out their policies on fees, commissions, type of work they provide and also whether they even use children like your own.

It may seem obvious but it is amazing how many parents waste time and money posting photos and contacting agencies that do not meet their own needs.

I have said this before but I will say it again.  The most important step you will take in your baby modeling journey is deciding on an agency!  It is for this reason that you not only find a reputable agency but you find the BEST baby modeling agency that is available to you.

All it takes is a bit of research:

1.  Ask for referrals from the agency.  You want to hear that their clients get a steady stream of work and good roles.

2.  Find an agency that is either very large and has a dedicated child and baby arm or is specifically aimed at this demographic.  The chances of getting good and regular work is increased dramatically in this instance.

3.  Speak to the agency about the work they have done recently and ask for examples to ensure they are working on some decent level work.  The more exposure and better the job, the better it is for your baby.

If all these things check out you are definitely on your way.

Free online baby photo contests are an excellent way of getting your babies images out there for people to see with no upfront costs to yourself.  This way you can put your images in the public domain where agents, photographers and advertisers can them without the need for agency fees or a portfolio.  You can also make some good money!  Simple but effective.

However, please check out the company first as you often waive your rights to any photographs submitted so you want to be sure you know where those images will end up during and adter the contest.

There are usually two paths to choose from when considering who will represent your child in the baby modeling business and that is yourself or an agency.  However there is a third option and that is private baby model agents.

These agents are basically private contractors and they offer very similar services to the baby modeling agencies, however with most choices there are some risks and benefits.

The main benefit is that they are likely to have less clients overall and are therefore able to put your child forward for more work, secondly the success of their business is linked to yours so they have a very personal interest in making sure your baby does well.  Finally a good agent will also take very good care of your child.

The downside of a private agent is that there may be less regulation on their work and you will be advised to take a more cautious approach when signing up.  Unfortunately there are quite a number of scams set up in the guise of private agents that will take a lot of money from you without any jobs actually appearing.

If you are willing to check their credentials properly then this could be a goer.

Does your baby often receive compliments on their looks or personality (not including relatives)?  Do they make the people around them smile?  Does YOUR baby have what it takes to be the next big thing in baby modeling?  If so, then modeling for babies may just be a perfect fit for your child.

A good baby model will earn a decent living, have fun and even make friends as they grow up in the industry.  It can also often give them self-confidence.

However, the second question you have to ask yourself is whether YOU have what it takes to commit to such a venture.  Very much like adult modeling, the baby industry can be tough on parent and child so you need to consider whether you both have the temprament for this work and also the endurance.

The main areas to consider are:

1.  The days can be quite long and tiring and you may be standing for hours on end working with your child and the photographer.  Are you up for the challenge?

2.  To secure the top jobs you are likely to need to travel long distances which can cost your time and money and may be difficult for a working parent.  Obviously you do not need to take these jobs, but it can be the difference between an average and highly successful baby modeling career.

3.  You both need to have an outgoing, happy temperament overall as your child is usually going to be smiling a LOT, and you will need to be patient and able to communicate with quite a number of people on a regular basis.  A shy parent will find all of this interaction incredibly draining.

4.  Is this about money, fame or a laugh.  Go into it knowing what you want to achieve, but make sure that the focus is on your baby first and foremost.

If you are considering whether your baby needs an agent or whether you should go it alone, here are some useful thoughts to think through when deciding on baby modeling agents:

1.  An agent offers experience.  A good agent knows the market, they will know how best to present your baby, which jobs for which they should be put forward (saving you time on worthless auditions), and right off whether your baby has what it takes to even be a model.

2.  An agent has connections.  As with any modeling or acting gig it is very rarely just about talent but about being put in front of the right people for the right jobs.  I am sure there are 100s of actors out there just as good as Brad Pitt and just as attractive but he got a lucky break while some of the others are waiting tables.  An good agent is on the ball of new opportunities and gets you in there when needed.

3.  An agent costs money by way of commission.  This means that for every shoot that is undertaken the modeling agents will take a cut.  This varies from agent to agent so check out the conditions before signing anything.

4.  An agent is fast and constant.  The right connections mean that there is constant streams of work on offer and you can sometimes have your first job within days.

5.  On your own you have more flexibility in what work you would like to put your baby in for and also when and where jobs will take place.

6.  If you can garner some publicity via baby picture contests or in other work you can use this to promote your child directly to the advertisers or photographers.  Get a good photographer on side and you can have your pick of jobs without a cent in commission.

As you can see there are benefits either way.  Do what suits you best and make sure you keep enjoying it.

One of the best ways to get your baby noticed is via baby photo competions.  These are often set up by baby and parenting magazines and baby modeling agencies themselves so offer both exposure to the public and to the professionals as a double whammy.  On top of this there is usually a cash prize which can equate to thousands of dollars!  In other words you can’t really go wrong.

The downside to this is that there will be hundreds if not thousands of other parents out there with the same goal in mind, and there will often be some impressive one off talent out there.  So it is important that you take the time to create a baby modeling portfolio.  A well designed portfolio will give you an excellent chance of winning, and more importantly of gaining the attention of the right contacts in the industry as these will be your bread and butter for future earnings.  If this is a magazine competition there is also the chance of being on the front cover which will offer further exposure.

As there are dual purposes you will want to keep within the guidelines listed on my earlier post about portfolios and provide a good quality close up headshot and a also a full length image.  But you will also want to amp up the personality side of things and ensure you have some real crowd pleasers too.

The best pictures are big expressions – be it concern, hard thinking or just a wide eyed laugh, an animated image will capture your audiences attention and enable them to really see the ‘winning’ personality of your child.  I also like photos that focus on the baby only and have no distracting backgrounds.  Think a big fluffy rug ans nothing else in the shot with a sleeping baby.  Beautiful.

You never know when your child may be discovered!

There are basically two purposes of baby modeling portfolios.  The first is to get your babies face out there for potential agents and agencies to see, and to garner some modeling work.  The second is to create a compilation of work that your child has done previously.

In this article we will be focusing on the first instance – a porfolio as an introduction to your child.  This type of portfolio is about presenting your child in the best possible light and allowing the potential employers to see the physical beauty as well as the personality of your baby.

In order to do this you should follow these general rules:

1.  Provide a headshot.  This will show how photogenic your baby is and allow them to see every feature properly.

2.  A full length shot.  The agent needs to know whether your baby is tall, short, thin or chubby.

3. Personality shot.  Every child has a personality so play on this, try to capture them doing things like smiling, laughing or even pouting.  The photographers need to see the personality so they match your child to the perfect campaign.

4.  Add diversity to your shots.  If possible add photos in different settings and also varied outfits.  There is little less off putting then photo after photo that is exactly the same.

5.  Make sure you have quality shots.  Poor quality distant shots are another real turn off so make sure these are the best possible.  However, saying this please remember that you do not need to go and spend a fortune on photographs as this is just to get your foot in the door, and as your baby grows will very quickly go out of date.

Once you have these photos make sure you label the backs of each one with your information for ease of reference.  I would usually include:  childs name, your name, address, contact phone number, weight and age of the baby.  By providing these statistics you are doing the agency a favour and making it simply too easy just to call you straight away.

Now you are ready to submit your photos to an agency and see your baby to stardom!

So you have realised that your baby has what it takes to become a model.  Good work and congratulations!

The world of baby modeling can be fun, dynamic and an excellent way for you to start putting some money aside for your child’s future.  However, the key to achieving this goal starts with the baby modeling agency that you use.  A good agency will provide your child with a pretty steady rate of work and ensure that your baby is both safe and looked after well.  A bad one can rip you off financially and a lot worse.

So how do you find the right agency?  Here are my top three methods:

1.  Apply to reputable baby and parenting magazines directly.  Some of these will be able to provide work straight off, but usually they will be able to refer you to the agencies that they use for any modeling work.  This is an excellent resource as you not only find a reputable agency but you can also ensure that they are doing work with at least one of the top selling magazine.  Who knows your child could be the next cover model!

2.  Check out the magazines themselves.  Many magazines have credits to agencies that you can use to create a contact list.

3. By referral.  Ask your friends and family if they know anyone that is already in the industry and can give you a reccomendation.  Gaining advice from someone you know and trust will give you confidence in the agency and also tell you how much work and pay you may expect to recieve.  It is also more likely to provide an agency that is local and easier to reach.

Once you have found a couple of agencies that sound like a good fit make sure you ask to see samples of their work and enquire about which publications that they are often published.  This will give you an indication of their status as well as the amount of work that this agency is getting.  Both of which are important.

Remember, the baby modeling agency that you use to promote your child will have a HUGE impact on how successful they are going forward.  So make sure you do your homework and find an agency that is a perfect fit for you and your family.
