For the Friend family, working together as a modelling family has been a rewarding and exciting journey. With seven assignments under their belt and over £6,000 earned in modelling fees, they’ve had a front-row seat to what family modelling is really like – the highs, the challenges and everything in between.
“Working as a modelling family is a mixture of excitement and apprehension.”
As any parent knows, getting children out of the house and performing in public settings comes with its own set of expectations. A shoot is no exception. Asking multiple children to stand still, take direction and maintain cheerful expressions isn’t always easy – but with the right support, it’s more than possible.
“As any mum knows if you’re going anywhere with your children you want them to be on their best behaviour… this is no different on a photo shoot.”
Throughout their time with Models Direct, the Friend family have appreciated the thoughtful touches that help each job go smoothly. From scheduled timeouts for the children to relax, to meals laid on and even overnight accommodation when needed – these details make a big difference.

“From lunches being put on for the children, to overnight accommodation, to letting the children have 15 minutes time out so they can chill, go on their iPad etc.”
The family feel incredibly grateful for the experiences they’ve had, and it’s clear they’ve made the most of every opportunity. Even the children have embraced it with enthusiasm – with one of them cheekily claiming all the credit.
“I can’t believe how lucky we are – my son says it’s all down to his fantastic good looks.”
With more assignments under their belt than most, the Friend family continue to show what’s possible when families work together in the world of modelling – with a great agency behind them and a good sense of humour too.
