Modelling jobs and more...

Fantastic first family modelling experienceWe recently had our first experience of modelling as a family via Models Direct. It was a really fun and comfortable experience. Our agent Gemma was really friendly, caring, communicative and available. She gave us plenty of information to prepare with and answered our questions before the shoot. It was a full day shoot (8hrs) involving different activities to advertise a holiday venue in the UK. We had part of our travel expenses covered and received one night's accommodation on set.At the shoot, we worked directly with a representative from the company organising the shoot and three photographers. They were all really professional, friendly and kind with our children which made us all feel relaxed and happy. The staff at the location were also fantastic, making sure we had plenty of food and water through the day. My two children really enjoyed the shoot. They loved all of the activities they were asked to carry out (football, swimming, enjoying meals, arcade games) and the respect and kindness they were shown. We also thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were really grateful to everyone for making it a smooth one.

Noah had lots of fun filming for the Sainsburys Christmas advert. From leaving home to arriving in London, we were made to feel really special.Being on set was the most exciting part of the shoot. Watching Noah's face light up when the cameras started rolling and when he placed the star on top of the Christmas tree really was priceless. On the second shot, the director confirmed that this was the one, which was very impressive considering Noah's disability. This was a great achievement for him. He was treated with so much respect by the crew who completely catered to all of our needs. Noah bonded with everyone on set, particularly his on screen family which included Jo Burke, Alexander Perkins and a lovely young actress who played his sister. He had so much with them. Noah also loved playing in the dressing room with the Wardrobe Stylist who was wonderful too. Despite it being a long day, Noah smiled the whole time and the everyone on set adored him and thought he was such a special boy. Everyone was amazed by his story.I would definitely recommend this kind of experience. I wish I had signed Noah up with Models Direct from Day 1! Everyone thinks their child is the most gorgeous in the world, but we were being advised us so much to join an agency that we went for it - we just wish we had done it sooner! Every child is different and has their own unique qualities - there is work for everyone out there. I would recommend all parents to sign their children up - go for it, don't even think about it - just do it! There's only you stopping yourself from reaching your goals in life.

The day, which was a photoshoot, was very well organised. The communication before, during and after was excellent. The venue was great, the team was friendly, and lovely food was provided during the day. I hope to do more work for Models Direct as this experience was extremely positive.

Fantastic experience!From the moment Dre’Sean was shortlisted for the campaign shoot to the actual production day, everything was brilliantly handled by Gemma. She provided clear, timely information and was always on hand to answer any questions that either myself or Dre’Sean had.
On the day of the shoot, the entire team were incredibly welcoming, professional, and supportive. The atmosphere was relaxed yet organised, which helped Dre’Sean feel completely at ease and confident. He thoroughly enjoyed the experience and came away feeling inspired and valued.
As a parent, it was reassuring to see how well the children were looked after and how smoothly everything was run. We would absolutely love to work with the team again in the future. Thank you for such a positive and memorable experience!Date of experience: 16 July 2025
