The first step is to take some photos of your child to see:

• if they like being in front of the camera
• what their temperament is in front of the camera
• if they can take simple direction from you

If the child likes to have his or her picture taken and likes to move around with your direction .. then you can call some of the child agencies.

When first going to the agency you do not have to have professional photos a few snap shots will be fine:

One full length shot One smile head shot Maybe a few more playful shots photos should be clear In focus No other children in photos If you are emailing or send photos via post then you should include : Childs age / date of birth height up to date sizes shoe size if there are any missing teeth if the child can read

The next step is to visit with the agencies you have contacted, or have contacted you back after your photo submission to them.

Some agencies work with child models for catalog and look for specific sizes - sample sizes :

• six months
• eighteen months
• twenty four months
• two and two t
• 5 and 6
• 8 -10
• 12 -14

as a guideline on sample sizes:

• Good personalities
• Children with alot of expression
• well behaved on set
• Children who are animated

We won't say children who are cute and adorable .. we think all children are. So children must have that little extra sparkle, it can be in the eyes, in the smile .. just something that is a little extra special.

Child must be able to project and move well in front of the camera.
