My daughter had a modelling job with a supermarket chain which went really well. She enjoyed getting a new outfit and posing infront of the camera. The photographer and PR lady were both extremely friendly and were able to keep my 5 year old entertained and engaged.

Models direct were instrumental in assisting us with the selection, to booking through to the shoot for my daughter. Communication was great and was via email, text and phone call keeping us updated. The booking form gave all the details we needed for shoot day. The shoot itself was so relaxed and calm. My daughter really enjoyed the opportunity to be able to experience the hair styles and stunning bridesmaid dresses. She said she had the best day ever and can’t wait to do it again soon we hope.

Holly had a really great day doing the Jet2 new children’s meals campaign, it was a good first experience for her. The shoot was very informal and all involved were extremely friendly and made us feel very comfortable. I hope Holly is able to have more experiences like this as she really enjoyed working with the other children and Tom the photographer was very friendly and put her at ease. Thanks for the opportunity and hope there will be many more in the future."

For their very first job with Models Direct, Sophia & Freya had the amazing opportunity to do a video call with Santa at home. Prior to the project they were not told and they were delighted to get to speak to Father Christmas. I on the other hand was briefed by mail from the company and calls with production both the night before and on the morning to go over all the specifics and details for the day. Due to this the call went really well and Santa was on the phone with both girls for 15 minutes and was very patient with them both as they were very excited. He took time to ask and answer questions and helped unwittingly get the girls to deliver some great content – they even discovered Santa can roll his tongue after asking him. Afterwards production made it easy to send over my content and we are looking forward to seeing the finished result. The girls can’t stop talking about it and can’t wait until they get to do another job. Thanks Models Direct!

Models direct have always been supportive and considerate of mine and Alyssa’s and requirements and availability. Always prompt with information and informing us of any updated details. Would definitely recommend them. I took Alyssa to her second shoot (first time for me.. mum) and it was quite daunting for her at first but the staff for Wilton Bradley were patient and considerate with Alyssa. And made her feel at ease. Thank you everyone.

This was Breyton's first photo shoot and it was for Bluewaters Shopping Centre in Greenhithe, Kent. Thank you Models Direct for putting him forward and to Charlie who was amazing with keeping us in the loop with all the details for the event. There were 3 other children (and their parents) at the shoot and it didn't take long before the kids were chatting and giggling with one another and the parents doing likewise. Melanie and her team at Bluewaters were fantastic and made the day a wonderful experience for the kids. Thank you. A gift and a cuddly reindeer from Santa and a hot chocolate after an ice skating session just added to a fabulous day. We cannot thank Models Direct enough for giving Breyton this opportunity, and hope that this us just the start of more to come.

This is the first ice modelled for Model Direct and I really enjoyed it I had so much fun both working and having fun!! The crew that was with me today was very friendly and patient and offered a lot of help when things were difficult. They spoke to us kindly and didn’t boss us around and shout at us but they explained nicely. I met a lot of new friends and I hope to work with them again soon. From: Model Anna Hoang (10 years old)

She's had a superb time, and even managed to score a goal. Well... The ball brushed her foot as it rolled in, but we're counting it! Thank you once again to Models Direct for getting her portfolio involved.

We had a fab day yesterday! This was the perfect first assignment for my daughter and she did so well (in that heat too!) The client was lovely and very patient with the children. The location was great as it was in our hometown so not much travelling for us and familiar surroundings for her first assignment. She had a great time meeting a new friend and trying on lots of shoes! Great communication from Models Direct, very prompt with responses to questions and instructions for the day. She’s very much looking forward to doing another assignment.

Beau had a fantastic day yesterday shooting promotional shots for a footwear brand. The day was very well organised and we knew exactly where we needed to be to start the shoot and also additional locations we would be visiting. Models Direct were very clear on instructions, going through everything on the phone then following up via email. Charlie answered all the questions we had about the shoot in a very comprehensive manner and also called us the day after to check everything went okay and to discuss next steps. We can’t wait for the next opportunity, thank you xx
