Children & Modeling- Under 18

This is probably the MOST important piece of advice I can give any parent who wants to get their child into modeling. So listen carefully!!!!!

All you need is snap shots of your child and their clothing size. You DO NOT need portfolio pictures! Let me repeat that....
You DO NOT need portfolio pictures!
You DO NOT need portfolio pictures!

Send your snap shots to the real modeling agencies NOT these fly by night bootleg bogus modeling agencies. How do you know the difference? I'll get to that in a minute. First remember this....... if you send your photos to an agency and they all you and your child in for an interview....

If the first thing they say is... We love your child and now we're going to take portfolio pictures that will cost you an arm & a leg.... pack up your kid before they finish their sentence. NO REAL agency makes you spend money on modeling pictures for kids. For one thing, a child changes and grows every couple of months. Are you going to spend a grand every other month to have photos retaken? Hell no!!!!

If they like your kid they will take the photos or get them jobs from just snap shots you have. I know what I am talking about. I ahve been a model since I was 12 and then became a producer in my adult years. I ahve been in this Industry my whole life.

Get ready to go on cattle calls. Do you know what that is? Well, you be called for a catalog audtions with 2,000 other babies. What are your chances your baby will get the job?

Ok, your ready to go? Where do I send my photos? who's legit & who's NOT?
