Modelling jobs and more...

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.

WHAT MORE COULD A GIRL WANT?!
We joined Myleigh up to Models Direct to help build her confidence and gain experience. This was Myleigh's first assignment and it was for Snazaroo, the world's largest face painting company. When we arrived Myleigh was made very welcome, which immediately put her at ease.Her first face paint was a monkey; Myleigh had such fun jumping around and getting into character. Myleigh said the best bit was ' having the girly glittery butterfly face' and pretending to be having a girl's birthday party - they had balloons, music, pretty dresses and wonderfully painted faces...... what more could a girl possibly want?!!Myleigh surprised me with her confidence and patience, they had so much fun and made so many new friends that the time went so fast and she didn't want to go home. She is looking forward to tomorrow when she returns to see what other characters she will be.I recommend signing your children up to Models Direct as they learn so much from the experience. I know for certain Myleigh will remember this for the rest of her life. Thank you Models Direct and thank you Snazaroo for giving Myleigh this fantastic opportunity.

1st modelling experience
I received a notification that I had been shortlisted for an assignment and asked about availability for the date.
This was 3 weeks ahead. After confirming the date was ok, I was then told I was selected.
After receiving joining instructions and advice it was soon the date for the assignment. I was nervous but once on site enjoyed a great experience between the client, photographers and other participants.
Date of experience: 08 July 2025

"Ellison is only 8 months old so couldn't say in his own words but I could tell he had a really good day, the actors and Director were really nice with him and got through all scenes needed.
This was a first for Ellison and myself and the whole day was enjoyable and seeing him being a good boy while filming made me smile.Ellison had to be a teething toddler in an internal training Video for Tesco that gave examples of how to and how not to deal with customer service in a pharmacy setting.
This assignment, has given me confidence that Ellison interacts extremely well with other Actors/Models and is still happy no matter what the situation.It was a fun day out and gave me a sense of pride and also a nice little bit of money for his savings account for when hes older.
We don't live in or around London so opportunities in acting/modeling there never even come up in this area. Joining an Agency like Models Direct gives us the opportunity to be put forward for exciting opportunities. Models Direct works on your behalf and do the job hunting for you. We have been registered with Models Direct for only a few weeks and he has already had his first job.We signed Ellison up as a bit of fun more than anything. Obviously as his parents we feel he has one of the cutest little faces we have seen :) and would love to flick through pictures or films with him in when he is older. Plus what ever money we get out of this can go into a savings account for when he is older.
