Let me guess - you got literature or a call from a studio offering to help
place your child in modeling situations. If so, just realize that the
modeling stuff is *not* the primary business of these places, it is just
a ploy to get you to pay them to do a portfolio for you. The modeling
stuff is just there to appeal to our ego.

What are your reasons for wanting to get your baby into modeling?

My daughter was a model in Denver from about 4 weeks of age until we
moved out here to CA at 5 mos. You can see the back of her head in a
lot of Snuggli ads :-)

It's not gonna make a baby rich. In my experience it was very low
stress and a lot of fun--usually. There *are* "stage moms" who can
really take the fun out of it for other people.

You have to be really flexible with your schedule, too.

If you can do it to have fun, then go for it!

They have to. Babies won't hold still. 1/60 sec. is about the
maximum exposure time you can give.

(Sorry :-))

If it will be easy money, why not? We can leave it for when he needs it
(extra money in college). And to be honest, a little vanity on our part.

Nope. We have a friend pro photog who will do the portfolio for us.
