How to Make a Baby Modeling Portfolio

A good portfolio can get you more modeling opportunities. And like all models, baby models need a good portfolio to get noticed by possible clients. Your baby’s modeling portfolio can make or break a client’s decision. This clear book should show what your baby is capable of doing as a model and how versatile their photos are. Putting together your baby’s modeling portfolio for baby modeling agencies in New York City isn’t as difficult as it sounds, but it needs to be properly done to give you baby all the opportunities he or she deserves.

Here are a few tips on how to set up a baby’s portfolio.

Make it different

Since portfolios are made to show how versatile a model is when it comes to shots, you’ll want to choose different photos of your baby wearing different clothes, using a variety of facial expressions and different backgrounds, themes and scenery. You can choose these photos from previous shots or you can hire a photographer for a half day photo shoot and conceptualize a few different shots. Just make sure you take a break every now and then to keep the baby in a good mood if you’re planning a whole day of half day shoot.

10 shots

For a portfolio, 10 different shots will work perfectly. Pick out the ones that show the best of your baby. Include some photos that show some action, profile shots, smiling faces and serious faces. Some baby modeling agencies in New York City would make their client’s profiles for them, but you can definitely help out by choosing which photos you like form the group.

Get them printed

It’s best to just invest on getting these photos professionally printed. You want to choose a standard 8 by 10 inches sized photo. Choose the best material and try to get the water-proof type photo paper so the photo’s last longer. Don’t attempt to print these photos yourself, professionally printed photos will look better and they don’t really cost that much since you’ll be printing them in sets of 10 photos.

Bind it

Use one of those three ring binders that you can purchase at arts and crafts or office supply stores. These binders have protector sheets the hold the photos in place. Choose the best photo of your child to place in the front page. This needs to be a close up photo with no hats or accessories that could distract the viewer.
