Baby and child modelling really is as easy as ABC – in fact, you might say it’s child’s play!

The great beauty of the paid pastime is that little ones can often take part without even being aware of the camera…

This is because our clients want baby and child models to appear as natural as possible.

They want genuine smiles, real chortles and authentic belly laughs!

They want them to be tasting and enjoying their food products; playing and having fun with their toys; wearing or walking about in their clothes doing exactly what they normally do.

Furthermore, the brands, businesses and renowned corporations that book our baby and child models, turn to expert agents like ourselves to find the models.

They know we have decades of experience of working with young people and that we can be trusted to ensure their safety and well-being, as well as understanding the legal requirements around how they are employed.

They also partner professional production and media operations who conduct the photo shoots on their behalf.

And these are also teams of people who also understand the intricacies of working with children.

So when we say baby and child modelling with Models Direct sees our little ones go from playtime to photo shoots, we must admit that this isn’t quite true…

Because mostly our photo shoots are playtimes and your beautiful boy or gorgeous girl will have so much fun they will ask you if they can do it all over again!

Little Naomi’s parents told us all about her assignment with Deliveroo:

“We loved our first photo shoot experience for our daughter.

“The team was incredibly friendly and super professional – and the communication with Direct Models was excellent at the time of booking my daughter into the job!

“She had a lot of fun eating and playing around with the food they gave her from Deliveroo.

“We would love Naomi to be booked again so she can have as much fun as we did.

“It was an amazing day!”

Young Yara had already modelled through us before when her parents accepted a booking with multi-national electronics manufacturer Epson.

This was the feedback:

“We had another great shoot today.

“This time, our daughter got to try out a new electronic gadget and the customer made videos of her reactions.

“Everyone was very nice.

“Thank you for the opportunity!”

And Steve and his son Shai both took part in a shoot for Hasbro. This what Steve told us afterwards:

“My son Shai and I had our first assignment with Model Direct together.

“The assignment was for an online advert for Hasbro, it was my son’s first time so he was a little shy, but after some time he settled in quite nicely.

“We had various scenes with Shai in the bathroom and of us in the kitchen with me rewarding him (after his successful potty training!) with a tub of ice scream.

“The film crew were very friendly along with the lovely ladies who were looking after Shai who were very helpful – we both had a really good time!”
