Catalogue modelling for kids is a demand for the likes of Very, Gratton and Littlewoods. Catalogues cater for all the family with departments for men, women, children, homeware, and electricals; a destination of quality goods for every member of the family. To provide a baby and children’s department that is easy to navigate and is well promoted child models are required for product shots and campaign images. The catalogue would not perform well without visual imagery to showcase the clothing range each season and the latest toys to purchase.

The clothing collection will cater for a wide range of ages with products for newborn babies up until teenage years depending on the catalogue in question. Therefore, catalogues require various aged models to showcase the items available in different sizes and gender. The majority of catalogues will hire models from agencies who specialise in this niche and have children signed to their establishment. If you would like for your child to be a catalogue model it is wise to contact agencies in the hope of becoming signed. Research companies that operate in this field to find an agency that will be suitable for you and your child. Before agreeing to sign check that the agency has connections in the catalogue agency and are a legit, trustworthy and professional establishment. Remember there is nothing more important than you and your child’s safety.

Photoshoots will take place to capture the clothing designs on the correct age to showcase the fit of the item and how it can be styled. The nature of the images are usually relaxed and fun with children laughing with friends. The age range does demand a more friendly approach as the infants need to feel relaxed in front of the camera to capture the correct shot. The parent will be present at all times to ensure that your child is happy and relaxed in the unusual setting. Children will feel reassured, comforted and confident knowing that their mum and dad are present.

Catalogues also require child models to interact and play with toys and equipment sold online. To make the toy more appealing to customers children are hired to pose with the toy to promote how fun the product is for kids. This tactic also shows how the toy works and looks when out of the box and in action, which is desirable for those considering to buy the toy. Riding a scooter, holding a doll or playing a musical instrument is all part of the role of catalogue modelling for kids. It is important that your child will cooperate when promoting the toy and perform each action to the best of their ability. It might require for them to repeat each action numerous times to capture the winning shot. Therefore, you might have to be on hand for a little persuasion and it is a must that your child does not refuse and become irritated by the demand.

Is your child a catalogue model? Do you have any words of wisdom to share?
