If you are interested in having your baby become a baby model or enter baby modeling contests, here are a few things to

keep in mind:

Avoid Agencies That Require Upfront Fees - The most important thing to know is the most up front paid agencies are not

as legitimate and are mostly looking to make money off of you as a parent than to find modeling work for your baby. Call

several agencies before you start and try to narrow down as many as you can so that you are only applying with agencies

that don't charge any upfront fees. Also, read the fine print. Even if the modeling agency doesn't claim to charge any

fees, once you start the initial paperwork, you may find fees in the fine print. You'll have to do your homework with each

agency. A legitimate agency will allow you plenty of time to make your decision and let you read over the paperwork. You shouldn't be rushed to sign up.

Be Ready For Rejection - In the real world, with many adorable babies and children, your child, realistically won't be chosen for every job that you are hoping for. You will have times where your child is not chosen for a job. It's best to accept that fact before you start and try not to put too much pressure on your child to perform or raise their expectations too much. Just have fun with it and enjoy the times that your child is chosen to participate in a baby modeling shoot.

Portfolio Is Important - The photos of your child will tell agents everything they need to know about your baby. Make sure the photos you have taken for your child's portfolio do a good job of displaying their personality and ability. Make sure the pictures are taken with good lighting and colors, so that the agent and potential contractors can imagine the possibilities of how your baby might model their clothing or merchandise. Remember that the contractor is in the business to make money and will only hire your baby, if their impression is that your baby will help display and make their product look attractive. Make sure pictures are taken on a day when your baby is feeling well, with clear skin and bright eyes. If your child catches a cold on the day of your first planned shoot, go ahead and skip it and plan it for a day when your child is feeling better.

If you can keep these things in mind, you will find yourself having a much smoother ride with baby modeling contests.
