Baby Modeling Tips

January 5, 2011 by ds_65371 Leave a Comment

Some moms, who feel that their babies posses unparalleled beauty, elect to share this beauty with the world by turning their baby into a model. Everyone loves a cute baby, and the modeling industry is no exception. To succeed as a baby model, your infant will require more than just her good looks. Before preparing to venture out on casting calls with your baby, consider some ways in which you can increase her chances of success.

Play Up Baby’s Best Features

While you likely feel that your baby is all-around cute, you must be aware of which parts of your child are really more appealing than most to find success in the world of baby modeling. For example, if your baby has piercing blue eyes, you should focus on accentuating them when you are taking pictures of him. Similarly, if your child’s hair is long, blond and curly, this may be a feature to play up as it will distinguish her from others.

Socialize your Baby

Your baby likely won’t get many callbacks if she seems hesitant of strangers or overly shy. Modeling casting agents know that these tentative youngsters will be more difficult to work with than the gregarious ones, so they may be more apt to skip over a shy baby. If you want your baby to have an illustrious baby-modeling career, take strides to get her use to being around people.

Focus on Behavior

Those photographing your child will likely be more eager to repeat the process if she is well-behaved and easy to direct. Practice quiet play activities with your child, getting her to focus on single toys instead of running about the room in search of a mess to make. Those photographing babies often depend upon these young models being able to stay still enough to be photographed and not leaving their studio looking like the aftermath of a tornado.

Make Your Baby Available

In most cases, modeling sessions will not work around your schedule. If you have a busy schedule that is impossible to change, you are going to struggle. For success, you must be able to get your baby to modeling sessions when directors want him there, not when it fits into your day.

Don’t Rush Into Signing

Some parents mistakenly allow their excitement over someone showing interest in their child to lead them to sign contracts without fully exploring the details. If the agency trying to sign your baby is a reputable one, it will not pressure you to sign on the spot. Instead, they will allow you time to think it over and read the fine print.
