Well it's not a modelling agency so it won't get your child any jobs. What they will do is take photos that you then need to pay for. Prices start at £50 per photo according to their T&Cs.

The model kit is not legit. They offer to book your child in for a ‘free’ shoot with hair/make up artist, and then they try and sell you a portfolio costing £50 plus per photograph. And then they don’t actually get you any work.

"We have over 15 years’ experience as a model support agency, and we can help guide you through the hard but exciting process of creating a professional modelling portfolio."

So they are an agency which takes photos.

I’ve not looked this company up but it sounds like what is known as a ‘platform agency’ - a scam. Nobody. And I mean nobody in the model industry wants a portfolio for kids. I promise you.
Read up on bfma.fashion website to educate yourself on best practices and legitimate agencies 😊
Never ever spend more than £100 for kids pictures and certainly not with a photographer who hasn’t been recommended by a proper agency with a proper contract - whom you have met at their officially registered trading address.

Ps please do not take this any further and please make sure you own the rights to any pictures of your own children

Thank you everyone. Will not be taking it any further. Xx
