Child modelling Photography

As soon as your child shows interest in becoming a child model, they’ll need a profession portfolio in order to show potential agencies. You should book your child or teen model portfolio session as soon as you feel ready! Booking in advance ensures you secure your preferred date and time, especially if you have specific needs or if you’re looking to align with certain milestones like a birthday or a special event. For babies and toddlers, it’s often a good idea to schedule the session when they’re well-rested and in good spirits, typically in the morning after they’ve had a chance to settle into the day. For older children and teens, consider their school schedules and extracurricular activities to find a time that works best for everyone. Booking early also allows you plenty of time to plan and prepare for the session, ensuring you get the most out of your child or teen’s modelling or acting portfolio shoot. Additionally, if you’re aiming to have the photos ready for a specific purpose, such as updating their portfolio, look book, or social media profiles, booking in advance gives you ample time to review and select the perfect shots for showcasing their talent and versatility. So, don’t wait! Secure your spot today to create stunning photos that will truly showcase your child or teen’s potential in the modelling, acting, or performing arts world, right here in London, UK.

Of course! I often photograph potential child models as their birthday gift from parents and relatives. It’s a really fun way to spend a birthday and celebrate turning a certain age. It can be especially exciting for those entering the teen years as they won’t have previously attended many events designed just for them or been treated as an adult in a professional setting before. I can send you a gift voucher to give them on their birthday that can be redeemed within the next year. Child model portfolio photoshoots are always fun and relaxed but if it is given as a birthday gift then I’ll make sure to make it especially fun with extra dress-up time and props. What better gift than that of a model career making portfolio?! Together we’ll make it their best birthday yet!
