Time for a Photoshoot

You will need photos and good photos to send to the listed out agencies or agents. You might think that you will need to spend a lot of money of getting a photoshoot done for your baby but that’s not true. There is no requirement for a professional photo clicking at this point in time. All you will need are a few pretty clothes from your baby’s cupboard in nice bright colours which complement her skin and hair and a good camera to get some clean pictures. Make sure that the features of your child are clearly visible in the clicks.

• Keep the pictures simple and not fancy
• Avoid use of flash lights
• Click lots of photos and then select 4-5 best ones to submit to the agents
• Clicking pictures in natural light promises amazing results. Early morning and evening light is the best time to take pictures in natural light.
• The child should stand facing the light for brighter clicks

Note Down the Basic Details

Some agencies would ask for a hard copy and some would want a soft copy and some might want both. Don’t forget to attach the noted details of your kid along with your contact details.

Patiently Wait for the Offer

Once you are done with all the homework from your end, now you only need to wait for the agency to get back to you with some offer. Meanwhile, you can check with the agency once in a month to know if there is any progress.
