Getting into baby modeling can be very financially rewarding, but there are some pitfalls along the way that you have to look out for.
The biggest one is choosing the right baby modeling agency.
This can be a little bit tricky, because there are a lot of iffy agencies whose only good at taking your money.
So, it's important that you do a little due diligence before you just jump into this.
It's much better to be safe than sorry.
Don't just blindly point to an agency in the phone book.
You may get lucky and find a good one, but that's not the proper research.
Start reading in forums from other parents who got their babies into modeling.
You'll get a much better idea of who are the reliable companies out there and who are running the scams.
When you get in contact with certain agencies, pay close attention to how they receive their money.
If they tell you that you have to pay BEFORE your baby has gone to any photo shoots, then you know is definitely wrong.
The way most legitimate modeling agencies work is that they receive a straight commission for landing your baby modeling job.
If they tell you that's not the way their commission structure works, I'd start looking for a better agency.
Don't be afraid to shop around because there are a lot of agencies out there.
Whether you are looking for something at the local level or going national, you've got to know you are dealing with a company that you can trust.
