Hi

When my daughter was six months old. I sent her photo to a few agencies. Norrie Carr wanted her and took pictures for free there was no joining fee. Although if you want to renew after a year you have to pay ?70 for new photos. We got plenty of work but here's where the good experiences ended. I found the agency rude if I couldn't make an audition, they expected me to turn up the day after a phone call and change any other plans. When I didn't want her in a particular advert for SMA they thought I was being ridiculous. The model almost dropped my baby in a cover shoot. There's lots of waiting around at shoots very boring. She got paid up to six months after the job. The only good thing is the pay which we put in her child trust fund. But I couldn't take longer than 6 months as I was pregnant and it would be almost impossible to do with 2 children to look after. To top it off they still kept calling me months after I'd told them I couldn't do it anymore.

Hi, no experience of my own child being used but as a photographers agent have booked children for ad campaigns. Personally it's not for me and I think you have to consider your childs personality before putting them forward. As Olga found it's good money but ruthless, boring and to be honest not everyone cares that much about whether your child is having a great day as it's all about getting the shot.


Yes you may have to contribute towards getting up to date head shots as your child changes but you shouldn't have to pay a joining fee.


If you really want to pursue this avenue here's a few of the childrens model agencies we've used....

    • Majority of reported hate crime is based on ethnicity, brown, black and mixed heritage. Religious hate crime is lower and most affects Muslims, Jews to a slightly lowers number and a small percentage of Hindus and Sikhs.   Real or perceived atrocities committed by Muslim extremists and the state of Israel will influence numbers  Anyone who has been to a protest against the war in Gaza will see mainly peaceful and good natured crowds including Jews against war. @CPR Dave stop making a fool of yourself. Corbyn cannot admit to being wrong.  He sprouted nonsense that Russia was not responsible for the Salisbury poisoning, would not be contrite about the accusations of anti-Semitism, and is partly to blame for Brexit. He may be principled and a decent person but is not a Messiah and ran a poor campaign in the 2019 general election, a gift for Johnson. I expect he would have been pants in dealing with COVID, and Johnson set a low bar. I'm with Miss Jean Brody on the Spanish Civil War.  It maybe not!
    • How does your mind work? This is a thread about a bakery that may be opening. Your grasp of history is extremely weak. Mosley’s fascists were opposed and defeated all over the east end, not with petitions either. The principal leadership in driving them back came from the Communist Party but it was a united, cross community movement. The Daily Mail provided constant support for the British Union of Fascists and, along with sections of the Conservative Party, echoed their racist rhetoric. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. Excuse my French. To characterise pro-Palestinian demonstrations attended by thousands of Jews among the hundreds of thousands of people from across British society as “protesting Jews’ rights to exist” or comparing them to Mosley’s blackshirts is frankly sickening. You should be utterly embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.
    • I really hope so too, but they aren't going to get much passing trade, and parking round there isn't easy. Fingers crossed.
    • What's your answer, then? Should the council raise council tax to employ double or treble or more the number of workers to spend all their time clearing leaves from every street every day? Leaves have been cleared from my street several times since leaf fall began, including as I say very recently. It's impossible to keep every street permanently clear, and the situation is made worse by heavy rain. My partner broke his ankle in several places a year or so back when he slipped on wet leaves. He didn't blame the council.
