*CHILD AGENCY QUESTION* - I`v been getting numerous compliments on my son but more questions about what childrens modeling agency hes with or if I`v entered his face shots yet. I get it on my mommy sites including this one, at the grocery stores, the malls, our doctor and the receptionist, and of course family. I would like to think people are just being nice. But theres a few mothers that asked to exchange numbers with me so when they can find the agency or what i need to do they can call me asap. I was wondering if any mommies have their little ones in one or are thinking about it and where to go what to do.. is he too young (hes only 2months but has so much personality in his face) .. thanks hope theres someone that can give me a little insight .. xx

MelissaJoanne - 113 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) As mentioned by some others, I think that a lot of the decision has to do with your son's personality, not just his appearance. My husband was a child model (which is pretty funny to me. He was actually a very successful child model!). His mother always said that as soon as he wasn't interested anymore, he would stop. The first time he said he didn't want to do it anymore (around age 6-7 I think), he was retired from it. If my child is anything like me as a baby, there's no way they could model that young. I was (and still am) super shy). My husband has always been really outgoing, so it fit his young personality well. Also as others have said, make sure that you're going through legitimate agencies/competitions. They should never ask you for money.

Also be careful because a LOT of those agencies are running scams and trying to make a quick buck. If you decide to go with one check the BBB and ask them for references of past or present clients.

leahs - 113 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I received a call from an agency wanting to sign my 3yr old daughter. We are in Canada so I don't know if it's different here but all I can say is if they ask you for any money they are not reputable. I was told children under 8yrs old do NOT need head shots/photos, they do not need any type of acting/modelling classes. Unfortunately for even the most gorgeous babies/children if they go for a casting and the 'baby handler' goes to take them from you (parents can not go into the casting with the child) and your child starts to cry or whine the director will hand the baby back and say "Next". I'm still debating whether this is all worth it or not. The contract is quite detailed. Best of luck to you.
