Question
My son turns one tomorrow and everyone tells me all the time he should model because he is so cute. I have been hesitant not knowing how to go about it but as he has gotten older more and more people have mentioned it to me. I live in Florida, if I were to try to get him into modeling where should I begin?
World of Kids in Miami (http://www.worldofkidsagency.com/)
has been around for a long time, and is licensed, and affiliated with both SAG and AFTRA. I would start there, as they are a well-known model & talent agency, and quite reputable. Since they are in the top market in Florida, there is the best chance for your son to be able to take advantage of job opportunities.
The World of Kids website has instructions for what they need from new faces, and they do take online submissions as well.
Good luck to you both,
~Kitty

I can answer questions from those looking to get into the fashion or commercial modeling industry. Specifically, the requirements, what is needed, how to find an agent, what they look for, how to avoid scams, the difference between what a commercial model does, and a fashion model, would travel/relocation be required, what is on a comp card and in your portfolio.
Experience
Both my acting and modeling resume/portfolio is available online on my website. I am a member of the Screen Actors Guild, and also have available my actor's demo reel and voice-over demo online. I founded both the Florida-Models.com and Florida-Actors.com websites, which provide free modeling and acting info to the public. I have moved into directing, producing and screenwriting - and have won awards for my writing. I have worked in the industry as both a model and actress in Florida, New York City and Los Angeles until October 2007. I now reside in Europe.
