Applying for Children: We cover the Southern California modeling market- from Los Angeles to the Mexican Border. Please make sure you either live in our area or are moving here before submitting to the agency.
Children must be submitted through
regular mail or e-mail. We do not see children during Open-Call.
People are considered children for our purposes from approximately
3 or 4 years to 12 years. If your child is accepted for representation
they will be asked to come into the agency for a personal interview.
When submitting your images please keep the following in mind:
Your photographs do not have to be professional. Regular snapshots
that you take are fine. Please be sure that they accurately portray
your child. Sunglasses, mud smeared on face, eyes closed, etc. are
not good ideas for your images.
Three headshots and two full length images is all we need.
It is better to submit by e-mail rather than send your pictures
by regular mail. If you submit by e-mail you will normally get
a response within 2 weeks if we are interested in your child. If you submit
by regular mail you only get back an answer if we are interested
in your child. The reason is that there are simply too many submissions
to call everyone back and tell them “no”. Kindly do
not ask why we did not want your child. Agency personnel are not
allowed to give reasons. Be assured there was no conspiracy, only
a lot of submissions and very few spots available.
If you do submit by regular mail remember we do not return pictures.
San Diego Model Management is not responsible for pictures received
in submissions. Color laser prints, (the ones you can get almost
anywhere for 69 cents), or print outs from your home computer are
fine for submissions.
Our regular mail address is: Kids Booker, 438 Camino Del Rio S.
#116, San Diego Ca, 92108. See below for e-mail information.
We will need the name and phone number of the person to call back
if we are interested in their child. We will also need the name
and date of birth of the child. In the event your child is accepted
for representation you will be contacted and appointment will be
set up. We ask that only one parent or guardian bring in the child
or children. Please keep you expectations realistic. Although some
children work regularly, for many it’s part time. This is
simply because of market forces that the agency has little control
over.
Be assured that we only work with children that we think will make
money.
Follow these simple steps for e-mail submissions:
Use only 72 dpi resolution.
Keep image sizes under 500 pixels in height.
We do not accept submissions over 499mb in combined file size.
We only accept JPEG format. No ZIP or other extensions.

Did
you know that the market for child models is the more competitive
than any other category?
Ther reason is that there are more attractive kids in general
than adults. If you take a group of kids chances are many of them
will be "cute" or attractive. If you take the same group
15 years later only a few attractive ones will be left. That means
the clients who book models have a much larger group to pick from
when they want child models. Keep this in mind the next time you
are thinking of traveling to another city for a child model search.
While there is generally no harm in entering your child in a search
or contest through the internet, as long as the fees are low and
you checked out the organization behind the search/contest, spending
alot of time and money on child modeling is generally a waste
of your time and money.
