Models Direct Reviews - From our Baby Models

Great Team Work!
The location was near. The environment was well decorated to suit the storyline.
However, i was surprised that for a toddler who is the main character of the storyline, there was no interaction with the adult models before the video shoot. I think this would have enhanced his experience as a toddler.
However, everyone was so nice and appreciative on set.

Lovely experience both children felt very very comfortable from the minute we got there until the end, I also appreciated the homely vibe for the shoot, very good communication from the start and was always able to ask any questions

First timer here! My daughter was selected and they needed a mother role, so I thought why not? Very anxious, not knowing what to expect, but it was a fab day out, enjoyed every moment and everyone was so nice! From the start, communication with Models Direct all the way through to the people looking after us on the day! Fantastic!

Thank you so much to Charlie and the team for making this very last minute shoot go smoothly! Despite the many logistics in play, Charlie worked hard to ensure that my two little ones and myself were taken care of and comfortable. I look forward to more opportunities like this, as it was such great fun! We really enjoyed meeting the other models and the photography team. A great few days, lots of laughs and smiles were shared!

My 18 month old had his first photoshoot for Tottenham Hotspurs new brand merchandise and we had a blast. Charlie was very helpful and quick to respond to all my emails. On the day of the photoshoot, she ensured we had everything in place ready for the day and also efficiently emailed us after the photoshoot to check on us. The photoshoot was well organised, on time and the overall experience was really fun. Thank you Models Direct for this experience.

We had so much fun today at the photoshoot, Rob was so good with Autumn and was very easy to work with. He made me and Autumn feel comfortable. I felt like it was a really good experience and we would definitely do that again!

Really easy process from sign up to my 5month old son getting his first job. We had a great day. All well organised and Covid safe.

Ace and I really enjoyed shooting for TFL. Molly’s communication was flawless prior to the shoot & all the team on the day were very lovely & accommodating - we had great fun wearing the outfits and they even gifted Ace with a cute pair of dinosaur wellies! Excited to see how the pictures turn out and really looking forward to our next job :)

Aged 2 "Gracie had a lovely day doing a photo shoot for British Lion eggs! She was smiling and giggling for the camera all day. Considering this was her first time, everyone on the job said she was a natural.Thank you Models Direct! We really enjoyed the day and can't wait to do another."

Thanks @modelsdirect for the job it was a fun day for monalisa the team were really nice and lovely.

Sienna and I had lots of fun on this photo shoot for baby sleeping products!! It was like a F1 tyre change with lifting Sienna as she slept from pod to pod (to model four different product designs)! I was a very proud mummy watching Sienna be adorable during this shoot and we cannot wait to do more with Models Direct!!

"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.

When we received the call from Talent Management about the assignment, we were very excited as it was the first time Adam was called for a shoot.  We told him that he was going to play in a little movie.  Adam thought it was going to play in Annie, the musical - he was very excited and couldn't wait. 

On the way to the set we explained his role which was to play happy child of foster parents and play with them on a bed.  Anyway, Adam who is a very sociable child got along with everyone on set - the actors, the producers etc and he did exactly as he was told.  The more Adam was asked to repeat his scene, the better he was getting as he bonded with his model parents. Overall, Adam said that he had a great time and he would do it again!

Caprice really enjoyed her assignment with Next. She particularly enjoyed the fact that the shoot took place on the beach, which is her most favourite place to be!  She definitely wasn't nervous this time and got really stuck into the tasks. She loved playing on the beach making sandcastles with the other children and and because of the setting it gave her time to be herself whilst also having her little job to do. The assignment involved her posing in a number of outfits supplied by next from their Autumn Winter Collection. The first shoot was of her modelling a gorgeous winter coat which really suited her and the second shoot was of her modelling a dress and tights matching outfit which she modelled alongside the other children and shots were taken of her holding hands with three other girls. They were laughing and giggling together and they all looked adorable.

Caprice has definitely gained a lot of self confidence since her very first shoot when she was very little, and the more she does them the more you can see her growing into a proper little lady!  I would most definitely recommend anyone who is thinking of signing their child up with Talent Management to do so as they gain experience and confidence from the assignments and you can look back on all the previous shoots they have done and feel so much pride over what they have achieved.

I took Logan who is 18 months old to Weybourne Beach to model clothes for the Next winter catalogue.  He had a great time playing with the other children and being on the beach.  He had to get changed into the clothes that were provided and then we went down closer to the water with a boat and some cliffs in the background and Logan had his photo taken. The photographer and crew were very friendly and Logan loved them!  He had his hair trimmed by the hairdresser which was done perfectly and made him look really grown up. I think the most enjoyable part of the assignment for Logan was being on the beach playing with the pebbles and being around the other children. This was Logan's second assignment though Talent Management so he is gaining experience in front of the camera.  I would definitely advise people to join this agency as everyone is so friendly and helpful and it is a great experience going out there and getting dressed up to have your photo taken for a big brand. I originally decided to join Logan up with Models Direct as he has a very distinctive look as he has a big afro so I thought it would be nice to try and show all his hair off and get him into something like this. Before this assignment I hadn't updated Logan's e-portfolio for a while, but I will definitely start updating it more regularly again now!  Thank you, Elishia

Lola and I had the best experience today. We were made to feel very welcome by the client. Lola loved doing the photo shoot and we hope that Lola is offered another assignment soon.  She was a natural & her favourite part was being in the limelight being photographed. They called Lola their 'boo star' because her face lit up everytime they played boo with her.  I'm not sure what I was expecting to be honest, but this was better than anything I could have imagined.  Lola had to model some baby sleep bags/grow bags and she also modelled some vests. The pictures were taken in a cot, on a mattress, a rug and a snuggle pillow. I look forward to receiving a copy of the catalogue and photos when the photos are ready.

I would recommend this type of experience to people who have a happy, cheerful baby because you do not have to do anything - they are just themselves.  I found Talent Management on the internet and glad I chose them.  I hope to get more job offers for Lola soon!

Theo had a great day modelling for the new Pampers 'poo face' advert.  Theo had to take part in some filming and some still shots to enable the director to put together the commercial.  This was great experience for Theo as it has got him use to lots of people, big lights and generally everything that goes on whilst being in front of the camera!  I chose to sign Theo up to Talent Management to get some great experience being a model and I hope that Theo will be offered more modelling roles to continue putting a great portfolio together for future job opportunities. I would recommend anyone to put there baby forward for modelling - I think it's great fun and very good for your baby's development :-). Thank you Talent Management!!

I attended a photo shoot with my baby girl Evelyne who is 7 months old and was extremely excited that she was picked for the job.  When we arrived at the assignment, the staff at Kit for Kids were very welcoming and explained everything in detail.  I was very happy with the way the shoot went and they managed to get some amazing shots of Evelyne.  I am extremely excited for my little girl to appear on packaging and in a catalogue!  Massive thanks to Talent Management for the wonderful opportunity!

I was excited for my son who is 10 months old to take part in the Kits for Kids photo shoot. He had to wear a white baby grow and was photographed sitting and laying on a mattress an blanket they are trying to promote. Logan loves other babies so I was looking forward to seeing him interact with the other baby models. Unfortunately Logan wasn't very well on the day so he wasn't himself, but the lady got some good pictures of him on the mattress.  I think although Logan wasn't 100% well in himself, he still gained confidence in front of the camera. I would definitely recommend the experience to others as it was a fun filled day and it's nice to see your child modelling and being part of a company's promotion. Kit for Kids were promoting mattresses and blankets that prevent fly infestations in Nigeria on behalf of a charity so it was nice for Logan to be able to take part in helping them to do that.  The advice I would give someone who is thinking of working with Talent Management is to just go for it - make sure you have a big smile, confidence in yourself and the biggest piece of advice would be to make sure you keep your e-portfolio up to date. I need to improve on keeping Logan's e-portfolio up to date which I am starting too.  I signed Logan up with Talent Management because of his massive smile and big afro. I thought he would be good as he loves the camera and his hair is unique and different to a lot of babies.

I registered Stanley with Talent Management because everyone kept saying that Stanley is a beautiful baby and that he should get into modelling.  I chose Talent Management because they are friendly and professional and are dedicated to their client's needs.  I also like the fact that I can track Stanley's progress and update his portfolio online.

Stanley has just attended his first photographic shoot on behalf of a company called Kit for Kids, and I have to say it was a great experience!  I was a little nervous on arrival as I did not know what to expect but the shoot was professionally run and we received guidance all the way through.  The babies were rested when they needed to be and the whole shoot was tailored towards ensuring that the babies were content.  Stanley thoroughly enjoyed himself and I had a proud mummy moment watching him smiling and posing for the camera!  I would definitely recommend this experience to others.

When everyone commented on what a smiley baby Toby is I thought - why not see if anybody would like to use him for their campaigns? - so we signed him up to Talent Management.

Toby very much enjoyed his first assignment, working as a model for the lovely team at Kit for Kids.  He was very grateful for the crib backstage to take a short nap in mid shoot!  All in all, a very easy and enjoyable experience.

TOYS, BIKES AND FUN

It was amazing to be a model for the first time. Radisson was not nervous at all. He had so much fun with the team as they were very friendly and gave him enough breaks and time to have a little nap. The team were very patient with my baby. The shoot took place indoors and outdoors so Radi was safe when he was riding the bike.

We were asked which day and what time was good for us and then Talent Management contacted the client to let them know our availability. Every part was so enjoyable that my son didn't feel like he was with strangers and modelling for the first time and on the lunch break food and drink was provided. The assignment was for a maternity bra advert where Radi was playing with his toys with his mum indoors, then out in the buggy to walk in the park and then riding on the bike with his mum. He was so excited as he was on bike seat with a helmet on. We gained confidence Radi will be more relaxed for future jobs now. It was a fantastic experience for us. We will be sharing our experience with others so they will know it’s really not very hard to find a job and it will be fun.
 
We strongly recommend Talent Management to start your modelling career as this agency will give you first preference of what is suitable for you - not just force you to take something. It’s good to join an agency for modelling for health and safety, personal security and to get advice how to do things. It is important that you keep updating your e-portfolio to get more jobs. Talent Management is one of the most popular agencies in UK who have a lot of clients, and helping new models to get jobs to kick start their modelling careers. There is a personal advisor for each model so you know who you need to talk when you unsure about something. We are looking forward to our next job!

PULLING FUNNY FACES

Casey really enjoyed his first filming experience; the clients were really patient and understanding of his needs as a baby. Anna was very informative and answered all of our questions promptly with detailed information. Casey liked all the attention and was happy enough to be in his cot and car seat with the film running and us all pulling funny faces at him. I would definitely recommend both the experience and working with the professionals at Talent Management.
