In order to get kids into modeling, they must have lots of photos. Professional photos aren’t really required. Stick to candid photos that are beautifully captured in natural lighting. Make sure you have full body photos as well as headshots/close ups. Steer clear of makeup, costumes (unless required), and fashion accessories. Send your children’s photos to agents by stating your intent. Never pay anyone since modeling agents only make money once your children start working.
To get kids into modeling, you must also prepare them for rejection. Your children will be subjected to careful scrutiny and could even receive harsh criticism and rejection at some point. Do not take it personally. Some agents may just be looking for a different face or certain look. Your child may even be too cute compared to what the agents are looking for. Curb insecurities by always assuring your kids that they are perfect just the way they are.
