Child Modeling

I've been told I should submit DS' photos to modeling agencies. He's not 5 months yet so I'm skeptical about doing it so young.

Don't babies need to be able to sit (ie. 6 months) before they can book gigs?

For those with experience, how many agencies did you send photos to?

TIA!

Re: Child Modeling

I personally wouldn't do it.... I don't want my baby to be exposed to 'work' or any experience like that at such a young age.... (then again, whie many people comment that DS looks just like a doll, they likely wouldn't want DS anyway becuase he's too tall... Chat Icon)

Re: Child Modeling

Yes - you are right - they usually want the baby to be able to sit up.

We looked into when she was 4 months, and were told that.

We never went through with it.

Re: Child Modeling

Thanks ladies, I definitely don't want it to be viewed as work for my DS so will have to rethink this before going forward with it.
