Shes really cute, Why dont you just try to put her in an acting class/ drama class and see if she enjoys it. If she does, then she might want to do it on her own. And that kind of class can be fun and help with development... much better than trying to find an agent and sitting in offices. Good luck!

also google baby contests (photo) if she can land a cover of a mag that way it will help jump start it.

It depends on where you live. Some places, you can get her involved without letting it take over her life. Other places, getting her involved means sacrificing the rest of her time (and childhood).

And remember, every mom thinks that their baby is the cutest and most talented. It's not wrong for you to want others to see her and adore her too (it's only natural), but wishing and doing are two different things. You have to be careful. Make sure your first and only priority is doing what's best for her. Is that getting her involved in modeling and acting? Maybe... but at only 3 years old, probably not.

When I was four, my mom put me into modeling. I was constantly doing classes and training for "Little Miss" pageants. I hated it, but wasnt old enough to realize that I could do something about it (such as simply inform my mother that I wanted to quit). So, my answer to your question is that, all though your daughter is beautiful, and there is nothing wrong with wanting her to show that to the world, you may want to consider waiting until she is a little older; that way, if she wants to quit, she'll be mature enough to let you know! Hope this helps! =]

People have told me I should get my daughter into modeling or pageants, but I've chosen not to. If it's something she wants to do later, when she's old enough to handle it, I'll support her completely. Right now I just want her to be a kid. If you do decide to do that, then don't become one of those crazy stage Mom's. let it be casual and fun, and if she doesn't like it then let it end. Look up child talent or model agencies, but before you use them check them out through the BBB. Good Luck.

Why would you want to put your daughter in a modeling contest or anything like that at her age. Is this for your personal gain. You have to think about your daughter, so many of these things turn out bad. And if she isn't good enough or doesn't win what does that make your daughter think of herself?? She is cute, but why put so much pressure on her?

Oh, my, please don't do this. First of all, there are more places that will scam you than help you. Second of all, even if you do find legitimate agencies, the competition is BRUTAL. I could tell you tales of mothers trying to "accidentally" burn somebody else's kid with a curling iron so that their own kid would get the gig. Third of all, your daughter will be exposed to make-up and wardrobe people criticizing her hair, shape, mouth, teeth, eyes, WHATEVER, along with directors and photographers complaining about her height, weight, posture, gestures, facial expressions, etc., etc., etc. It's a TERRIFIC way to ruin a kid's self-esteem. Remember, THEY do not love your child. THEY do not care if your child has any self-worth. THEY only want to make $$$$ off your kid.

Take it from a former child actress -- do NOT do this with your kid. Please. If you love her and you want her to grow up emotionally sound, PLEASE do not do this.

I think it is a great idea, as long has she is into it has well and you arnt one of those obnoxious "stage moms" who push their children to far to fullfill their own dreams.
You can look in the paper or oline and see where differnt casting calls are
good luck, she is a cutie

How old is she? Modeling and acting are probably not the healthiest ways for little kids to spend their time. They have a lot of learning about the world and people to do, and that's not the best way for them to do it.

No, it's not wrong as long as she is interetested in it and you listen to her desires after she gets started. The main things that are required before you get started are that she is very outgoing, patient, and willing to follow instructions given by adults other than you. If she has periods of shyness around strangers, it will make her difficult to work with and she will not get any referrals or repeat work.

The best way to find a reputable agency in your area is to ask around. For instance, I found the agency I do work with through some friends I met in community theater. A few of the actors in our group are professional, so they could tell me which agencies were legitimate, and which weren't. You could probably even call some of your more established local professional theater groups and ask the manager if he or she has any recommendations for good agencies.

Another choice is to look at print ads (with models) for local companies, call the company, ask to speak with the advertising director, and see if they have some agency names for you.

Good luck!

OK first of all you cannot 'get' your kid into Show buisness. Show buisness is not an "open" industry. You either know someone, blowsomeone, or are recruited. Has your daughter been approach by casting agents? if the answer is no, don't give her hopes up. Get your own life and let your child lead their own. Talent will only get you an audition.
