Re: Child Modeling???

what is the one that approaches you in roosevelt field mall??? is that New Faces????

They approached us and we went just to see what they had to say...and we had to pay $$ up front for a picture package..and it wasnt cheap..

and I read and was told if they ask for money it is a scam! So we never went anywhere else

Re: Child Modeling???

Product Model management. I had to stop because we didn't have time. But DS was in three BRU flyers, a MACYS one, and a few other random ones. They have a website that you submit the photo too and then they will email you if they are interested and when the next meet and greet is. HTH.

Re: Child Modeling???

I have never tried to get my child into modeling, but I did work as an actor and occasional print model myself as a young adult.
NEVER pay a dime to anyone up front. Agents get paid 10% of work they book for you. They should NEVER ask for $ up front or insist that you buy photos from them.
Actors do need professional headshots, but you can get them from a photographer of your choosing, and probably should have them before you seek an agent.

New Faces is a total scam. And I have no problem telling them that everytime they stop me at the mall. It's great to see them walk away so quickly! LOL

Re: Child Modeling???

My neighbor growing up was a child model.

She was in tons of print & commercial work. I remember tagging along on a few shoots for fisher price toys & TRU ads. She was also on the cover of a few Babysitters Club books & the boxes of some popular toys back in the early 90's.

She was part of Ford Models - children division and than Wilhelmina Kids. She stopped when she got to HS.
