"Haley started as a child model as a toddler. Her very first casting turned into her first booking with Babies R Us and within the next few weeks, she would be booked by Babies R us three more times. As a mom, this was an exciting start and a proud moment. Shortly after, Haley received several direct bookings including Disney, Kelly's Kids, more Babies R Us, NKD Germany and LTD Commodities.As a parent entering into the intense, competitive modeling scene in Miami, I was uncertain as to what to expect. Imagine a sea of divinely beautiful children all with equally motivated and dedicated parents. Now, however, I know that there is one word that describes child modeling - FUN!
At every photo shoot, the entire crew - from the makeup artist to the photographer - takes extra time to make sure your little one feels comfortable, confident and is laughing and having lots of fun. Haley has had photo shoots on some of the most fabulous sandy beaches in South Beach, Sunny Isles and the Florida Keys, at million-dollar mansions, top-luxury resorts, the best studios and even at the Cinderella Castle in the heart of Walt Disney World.
With child modeling, you must develop a support team that starts with you, as parents, your agent(s), industry leaders, family and friends. Always be ready and and willing to ask for advice as castings, bookings and comp cards take patience, dedication and time to accomplish successfully.
We got lucky! When Haley was just two years old, we met the owner of Moda Bambini Kids Photography, who happens to be one of the friendliest and savviest modeling experts we could ever have met.
From that first meeting, a friendship grew and through his guidance and continued support, we were able to get Haley into all of the best modeling agencies in Miami and Orlando, as well as increase the number of weekly castings and bookings achieved. He has been one of Haley's biggest fans and advocates!
While Haley is still fairly new to child modeling and has many more years to learn and grow, she truly enjoys modeling and her outgoing, fun spirit loves the camera. For her, it's all a really great time. At this point in her career, nearly 80% of Haley's bookings have been direct bookings (no casting required) and she is working with the best agencies in Miami, West Palm Beach and Orlando."
