1)    Take Lots of Pictures:  While this sounds obvious, if you want to see your cute babies soft visage in a magazine or a television commercial, you will first need to establish that they can look just as good in those formats as they do in real life.  Besides, don’t you want to hold onto these precious memories forever?

2)    Take BETTER Pictures:  Of course, it is not enough to simply snap random photos of your children in every single situation.  You will also need to stage some photos as though they were actual photo shoots to get more professional shots.  You can either have this done professionally at a studio (like Sears or one that is privately owned) or you can try to do this yourself.  You can find more information on this online with very little trouble.

3)    Edit your Pictures:  There are many ways that you can touch up or alter the photos you have in order to make them look better.  The key is to think about presentation.  How professional would you like your photos to look?  You could use a template or perform simple touchups using installed software or interactive online software.

4)    Share your Pictures:  Now, randomly posting your pictures online isn’t necessarily going to get them noticed, but what it will do is establish a fan base, which is the most important aspect of internet marketing.  By doing this it will show an agent, director, or photographer that your babies modeling attracts a crowd.

5)    Submit your Pictures:  Look in the newspaper and online for contests and submission requests.  This is often the easiest way to start modeling for babies.  Be sure to authenticate whatever you find because although there are legitimate agencies online, there are also scammers.  This is true for everything.  A scam will typically charge you a fee for their service up front or will have you sign over the rights to pictures that they plan to use for marketing purposes but will not pay you for appropriately.
