First Faces Models FAQs

First Faces Models is a child modelling agency and casting platform representing babies, children and teens. We work with brands, retailers, production companies, photographers and casting professionals to connect suitable children with modelling, advertising, commercial, TV, film and promotional opportunities.

Parents create an account & activate profile. Once activated, your child may be considered for suitable castings, and our team may also submit suitable profiles directly to clients. Clients always make the final booking decision.

We represent babies, toddlers, children and teens. Our focus is child talent for modelling, advertising, commercial, lifestyle, fashion, family, TV, film and promotional work.

First Faces Models combines platform access with agency support. Families benefit from profile visibility, casting tools, client access, profile management features and the possibility of agency submissions where suitable. We aim to make the process clearer, more organised and more accessible for parents.

The platform activation fee helps cover profile setup, platform access, profile hosting, casting tools, client visibility, administration, ongoing maintenance and agency support. It allows children to have an active profile and access suitable platform features during their chosen term.

Profile activation includes access to your child’s platform profile, profile management tools, visibility to verified clients and casting professionals, access to suitable platform castings, the ability to apply for relevant opportunities, and agency support where appropriate.

You do not have to proceed if you decide it is not right for you. However, your child’s profile will not be fully active and will not have full access to platform features until activation is completed.

No. Registration, profile activation and access to castings do not guarantee bookings. The modelling and casting industry is highly competitive. We can provide access, visibility and support, but the final decision always rests with the client.

Clients select children based on the brief. This may include age, height, location, look, availability, experience, confidence, image quality, licensing requirements and the style of the campaign. Sometimes a child may be perfect for one brief and not suitable for another.

No agency can accurately predict how many jobs a child will receive. It depends on client demand, your child’s age, location, look, availability, travel flexibility, photo quality and how closely they match current briefs. Some children may be contacted more often than others.

Casting frequency varies. Some periods are busier than others, and some age groups or locations receive more briefs than others. You may receive several opportunities in one period and fewer in another. This is normal in the modelling industry.

Being shortlisted means your child may have been selected for further consideration or submitted to a client. It does not mean the job is confirmed. The client may still review other children, change the brief, cancel the job or choose someone else.

If a client wants to book your child, we will contact you with the details, including the date, location, fee, usage, requirements and next steps. You can then confirm whether your child is available and whether you are happy to proceed.

You should only apply for castings that match your child’s age, location, look, availability and requirements. Applying for unsuitable castings will not improve your chances and may make the process less effective.

Fees vary depending on the assignment, brand, usage, location, hours and type of work. The budget or fee will usually be included in the casting details or discussed before a booking is confirmed.

Professional photographs are not required for every child. Many children start with clear, natural photos taken by parents. The most important thing is that images are recent, well-lit, clear and show your child naturally.

Upload clear, natural photos with good lighting. Avoid heavy filters, hats, hoods, sunglasses, face paint, distracting backgrounds or images where the child’s face is not clearly visible. Simple headshots and full-length photos usually work best.

Children change quickly, so we recommend updating photos regularly. Babies and toddlers should have photos updated more often, especially if their appearance changes noticeably. Up-to-date images help clients make accurate decisions.

Keep the profile updated, upload strong recent images, respond quickly to emails, only apply for suitable castings, be clear about availability and make sure your location and travel radius are accurate.

Verified clients and casting professionals may be able to view suitable profiles through the platform or receive submissions from our team. This is part of how children gain visibility for relevant opportunities.

Yes. Parents can update profile information and images through the platform where available. Keeping the profile accurate is important because clients rely on the information provided.

The platform fee contributes towards profile activation, platform access, profile hosting, client visibility, casting application tools, profile management features, administration, support and ongoing platform maintenance.

No. The platform fee provides access to the platform, profile visibility and the opportunity to be considered for suitable castings. It does not guarantee bookings, castings, auditions, paid work or a specific number of opportunities.

The fee is for platform access, profile activation, profile hosting, visibility, administration and support. Modelling work depends on client demand and selection. No reputable agency or casting platform should guarantee paid work because clients make the final decision.

If you wish to cancel, you should contact us so we can review your account and advise you based on the terms agreed at the time of joining. Cancelling does not automatically mean a refund is due.

No. Lack of bookings does not usually qualify for a refund because work is never guaranteed. The fee relates to platform access, profile activation, visibility and support, not a promise of paid work.

Sometimes. Many opportunities are based near your location, but clients may request children from wider areas depending on the assignment. You will always be told the location before accepting a booking.

For paid assignments requiring travel, travel or accommodation may be negotiated with the client where appropriate. This depends on the job, budget, client and location. Any agreed travel details should be confirmed before the booking goes ahead.

Yes, many children work around school, nursery and family commitments. However, some jobs may take place during weekdays, so availability can affect how many opportunities are suitable.

That is fine. You should only confirm availability for jobs your child can attend. If your child is unavailable, you can decline or ignore unsuitable opportunities where appropriate.

Every shoot is different. You will usually receive details such as call time, location, clothing requirements, expected duration and contact information before the assignment. Parents or guardians are expected to attend with children.
