Tips On Baby Modelling


We know that lots of parents are wondering whether their baby is suitable for baby modelling.
Here you may find answers for some of your questions.

You’re his mum or dad, so you know your baby is gorgeous but is that enough to get him on the front cover of a magazine?

What kind of babies are right for modelling?

They need to be photogenic and it would be also good if they were quirky with plenty of character – they’ve got to have a sparkle about them. It’s also about temperament – they’ve got to be good natured and sociable to put up with meeting lots of strangers.

Where is the need of baby models?

Everywhere where you see them: TV ad for nappies, to in-store advertising posters (think Baby Gap, Mothercare, Debenhams) for baby clothes.
There’s also the chance to play a starring role in baby care books, be on the front cover of baby magazines (just like M&B) or on packaging for baby toys or baby medicine.


What if my baby won’t stop crying?

Don’t worry – if your baby has been booked to cast in a commercial you’ll still get paid. For all big TV commercials or ad campaigns they book understudies – or ‘back-up babies’ – in case their star throws a wobbly.

  2. For most parents, It's always easier to get children into modelling while they are still babies so that they can grow within the industry. Today there are more opportunities for baby modelling mainly in catalogues.

  4. A prospect baby model should be happy and photogenic to have the best chance of making it in the modelling industry. You should always test shoot your baby at home before taking them for a portfolio test shoot so get used to the camera.

    I started my baby modelling at 2 months, and during the teething months she was very cranky and we couldn't take jobs on. The thing to know is that when your agency emails you a casting you can actually accept or decline. Getting to a casting is half the work getting accepted at a casting is where you get paid. For my child I found when she was a baby a portfolio was the thing that sold her on the days when she was cranky or tired from the trip to the casting. So if you are getting a portfolio make sure its a strong one that shows off your baby in the best possible light. Hope this helps you mums out there!!
