Moda Bambini Kids Photography Blog: Street Looks a Go Go is now a part of Moda Bambini Magazine

People are talking. Here's what they have to say.

"I do online research and marketing for a living and after viewing portfolios of dozens of photographers that specialize in child photography, I have to say that Moda Bambini Kids Photography stands out head and shoulders above the rest. No one else comes even close." - Christine C. West Palm Beach, Florida

"We knew next to nothing about modeling when we first started and we had only 2 bookings during our first six months. Since you started helping us, however, my daughter has booked over 45 print jobs in the last six months as well as her first film role and first commercial. (3Suisses, Littlewoods, Carters, Vertbaudet, American Eagle 77 Kids, Children's Place, Next UK, TroizEnfants, Ambrosino, Circo, Target, Lucky Kids Magazine, Tesco, Naturino, Moncler, Walmart, Tribord, etc.) And to think, if we had not have met you we would have given up and none of this would have happened!" - Giovanna W. Coral Gables, Florida

"There are always two groups of parents at castings. The parents in the first group all look relaxed and confident because their kids have up to date and professional looking photos and comp cards while the parents in the second group (with kids that have amateur looking photos and comp cards) are all nervously biting their fingernails. I used to be in that second group but now, thanks to you, I am in the first group - and not only is my daughter booking A LOT more jobs, I'm not stressed out any more and my fingernails are looking much nicer! - Terry M. Miami, Florida

"Thank so much for taking your valuable time to do the photo shoot as the pictures mean so much to me and my family. Not only did we get great material for modeling, but you caught moments in time that will be priceless to me and my girls for years to come. Maddie had a great time and I am looking forward to all of the opportunities and experiences the pictures will bring for her. You have succeeded in showing who she is while still making her look fantastic! Like the last time, I am having a hard time deciding which photos to choose because there are so many great ones. I believe in your abilities and I feel very confident sending Maddie out on castings and bookings knowing she will be armed with the best materials possible. Your photos not only show agencies and clients exactly what the model looks like, they also tell a story of who the model is. Trust is a hard word to say these days, but I have to say without a doubt that I trust your photos, I trust your advice and I trust the path you have put us on! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for everything! I hope to have many more fun shoots and good times! You are the bomb!!!" - Jill B. Jupiter, Florida

"We first tried our hand at modeling when our daughter was two but after countless drives to Miami, many hundreds of dollars shelled out and only two small bookings in two years we decided to take a break. We tried again a year later and signed with a well known agency. Again, more money was shelled out and with no bookings after one year, we were definitely on our last leg when we discovered Moda Bambini Kids Photography. The pictures turned out beautifully and the support and guidance we received was tops. Not only was Stella immediately picked up by a several reputable busy agencies but she has already had 12 bookings - and 6 of them were direct bookings! The pictures captured her childhood beauty and we have had more requests and holds for jobs than I ever could have imagined! Not only is Stella busy but her baby sister just booked her first job (for American Eagle 77 Kids) all due to the opportunities you given us! It is so nice to be busy! Thank you for giving us the break we needed!" - Melissa Z. - West Palm Beach, Florida

UPDATE: "Stella just booked H&M Sweden and also just picked up another direct booking, this time for Coolibar! This was a true direct booking, they saw her pictures and they loved her. No casting!!! They actually wanted a 6 year old but they loved her pictures so much they booked her even though she just turned 5! Also, JC Toys just sent me pictures from her doll shoot that will be on the box for the dolls at Target, Walmart, Kmart and Toys R Us! Thanks again!"

"Awesome pictures! Thank you soooo much for getting Kate's and temporary cards and her prints for her portfolio to us within 3 days! I can not express how great my experience with Moda Bambini Kids Photography has been and how happy I am with everything you have done for us. I had seen your work before but, even so, I was blown away by the retouching - especially after comparing the before and afters side by side. And the agencies gave nothing but fantastic feedback about all of the pictures! That says a lot! Thanks again!" - Didi L. - Palm City, Florida

“I have been in the business for over a decade with my three kids and probably the single most frustrating experience I have had over the years is spending lots of time and money on photos and comp cards, only to be completely disappointed in the end. I recently shot my youngest son with you and I want to thank you for a truly great experience from start to finish. Not only did I receive a quality product in a professional and timely manner but my son felt truly comfortable and had a great time as well. I am confident that we now have a product that accurately and professionally represents my son and that he will have a great season as a result.” - Sarah M. - Miami, Florida (Research Professor - University of Miami School of Medicine)

"I’m so excited about how my son’s new photos turned out for his comp card. It’s the first time I have used Moda Bambini Kids Photography and I couldn’t be happier! They really know the kids modeling industry! Let the Miami modeling season begin!" Michelle S. - Boca Raton, Florida (Michelle is an advertising executive for a well known bridal magazine.)

"I was so skeptical of the child modeling industry I was very surprised, but so appreciative, that one of the first things you did was to give me the names and phone numbers of a dozen other people you have helped so I could talk to them. What they had to say put me at ease and confirmed that you were the real deal. The initial test shots of my children were beautiful and immediately opened the doors to top agencies. Within a few weeks Max was flying off to the Bahamas to shoot for Lands' End and Molly was getting multiple day direct bookings off her photos alone (no castings required). But most importantly, I am so grateful for the accurate and unbiased advice you provided during that first year as I navigated the unfamiliar world of child modeling. You have never failed to take my calls and answer my questions and I can't even imagine trying to manage my children in this industry without your guidance. No one else gives so much of their expertise months after initial contact and I am so grateful to you for steering us in the right direction and helping me make the right decisions for my kids. Please feel free to use me as a reference as the only way I can ever repay you and the moms you referred me to in the beginning is to 'pay it forward' and help others. Thank you for everything!" - Lori S. Orlando, Florida. (Lori and her husband are both attorneys in Orlando, Florida.)

UPDATE: "Max just direct booked off your photos for Disney, Walmart and Parenting Magazine and Molly just direct booked off your photos for Izod's new golf line, Izod G. Great client, great photographer, great pay - and all booked direct during the off season! Moda Bambini Kids Photography is the best!"

"We went in circles for over a year and spent a small fortune with zero bookings to show for it. Now, thanks to you, Rachael and Daniel are with top agencies, Rachael booked 5 major ad campaigns her first 5 days without going on any castings and over 100 major ad campaigns in her first 10 months including Vogue Bambini, American Girl, Roberto Cavalli, Polo, Ralph Lauren, H&M Sweden, Next UK, Talbots, Izod, JC Penney, Vertbaudet, La Senza Girl, Justice, Walmart, River Woods, Beaches, Dreams Resorts, Ford Motor Company, Burger King, etc. No words can adequately express our gratitude." - Milica M. Fort Lauderdale, Florida

"When we first started out we had some photos taken and went on numerous castings. Tyler booked just one or two small jobs and we got very discouraged. The photos were ok, but not great and that was a big mistake as we ended up wasting six months going on castings with junk photos and junk comp cards. Then we had much more professional photographs taken with you and within 60 days Tyler became the Gianfranco Ferre' child model and picked up several other very impressive bookings including a Florida Orange Juice commercial, a Spiderman commercial, double page Gianfranco Ferre' ads in multiple issues of Vogue Bambini plus Next UK and a Casual Male catalog cover. Lesson learned? You MUST have great photographs and great comp cards to show in order to be taken seriously as most clients will not book you on the assumption your child will look like a real model in their ads - you need to be able to prove it." - Stacy P. Miramar, Florida

"Before meeting you, we were signed exclusively with (a big name agency) and booked only one or two small jobs in a 6 month period. Haley has been modeling since age 1, but until you showed us the way, she has never had three castings and a booking in one week ever! We had so much fun and the location was so beautiful it felt like a mini vacation :-) The agent was really excited that she booked so quickly and, as parents, it is so enjoyable because she is having so much fun. Also, Haley's photo is being displayed at Toys R Us in the outdoor section. Thank you again for opening the door. I'm sure this is just the beginning!"

UPDATE: "Wow! Mention your name and things happen! Haley just booked three Walmart shoots, Disney, Cromer Company and Hilton Hotels - all direct bookings off your photos - no castings! Feel free to give people my number as a reference." - Rosslyn M. West Palm Beach, Florida

"Thank you so much for keeping us in the loop and your emails, the success you are having is brilliant! If you would like a recommendation quote, I would be happy to write how we only met once and you have gone above and beyond what you have said you would do for us. Thanks again!" - Alice K. Fort Myers, Florida

"Before meeting you, Avery's best month was about $2,000. Within 30 days of following your advice, however, she got picked up by several great agencies we didn't even know existed, bookings for print ads have tripled, she has done several SAG national commercials including Estee Lauder, Coca Cola, Walmart and Home Goods and we had our first $10,000 month. And now, Avery is in first grade, her college is paid for and every time we deposit another check into Avery's trust fund we think of you." - Maureen P. Destin, Florida

"Jaden is only three years old and he has already appeared in ad campaigns for Polo, Ralph Lauren, JC Penney, American Living, California Kids, Hannah Andersen, Izod, Walmart and Target - all from a chance meeting with you while he was out on a lake fishing with his dad!" - Chantal F. Miramar, Florida

"We have had such a great experience with you and your process of getting a child modeling career started (that resulted in an immediate direct booking for Vogue Bambini) that I have been recommending you to people all the time. Everything you said was true and everything that you said you would do, you did. So thank you again and hope to hear from you again soon." - Kremena B. Miami, Florida

"Noah just booked an editorial shoot for Polo, Ralph Lauren and New Balance to appear in the November/December 2009 Kids Sports Edition of Vogue Bambini - a direct booking off of his test shots and comp cards alone - NO CASTING! And this is his very first job. This is so exciting! I'm floating on air and almost speechless!"

UPDATE: "Noah just got his second booking (two days for Marks and Spencer) and his third booking (one day for Eddie Penn) and they were also direct bookings!" - Maria M. Palm City, Florida

"I started researching child modeling earlier this year trying to find legitimate agencies but found it really hard to tell who is real and who isn't. I was first contacted by ------- who wanted me to pay a fee for them to represent my child. Then ------- called (it sounded like a call center) and wanted us to come to a meeting - they also charge a $400 fee. Another wanted her to come to a 'casting' at their school to see if she would 'qualify' for their $1,500 training program. And -------- had us come to Miami to meet -------. She also offered to represent Chloe and said she had upcoming castings Chloe would be perfect for - if I would pay them $600. I didn't feel right about any of these places and, after finding out that it is illegal for Florida agencies to charge such fees, I wondered how I would ever avoid all the traps. I figured we might have to 'pay our dues' to get started, but I can't imagine how frustrating and upsetting it would be to spend thousands of dollars and get nowhere - yet still, I almost fell for it. Some of these companies were very convincing, they tell you just what you want to hear and I was considering paying ------- when fortunately I found you and was guided through the process. You answered all of my questions and concerns and gave me references. You also introduced Chloe to several legit agencies and saved me a lot of time running around to all of the not-so-legit ones. As a parent I think it is important that you feel safe about what your child is doing so making the right connections is key. Everything we have experienced so far has been positive, Chloe has done five commercials already and is off to a great start "- Lisa F. West Palm Beach, Florida

"Thomas, Dinara and I just want to say Thank You for not only your talented and skillful work but for your advice and your 'words of wisdom' and most of all for your professionalism. We look forward to working with you for ALL photographic needs. Our kindest regards." - Sherwin B. Boca Raton, Florida

"We tried and tried on our own for two years and got nothing.... Then we met you and we have met the nicest people, Nikki and Mikey have made $8,000 in the last three weeks and both Nikki and Mikey just spent an entire day shooting with Bruce Weber in Golden Beach for French Vogue - ALL THANKS TO YOU!!!" - Hana V. Coral Springs, Florida

"We spent over $10,000 on 'training,' worthless portfolios, etc. over the last few years and got absolutely nowhere. Now, thanks to you, we are with several real agencies and finally on the right track. I'm convinced no one else can do what you do - you are not only the best, you are irreplaceable!" - Carrie R. West Palm Beach, Florida

"Thank you so much for the jump start on Madeline's modeling career. Your photos are stunning and priceless and having the right materials really does make a huge difference. It's hard to believe that in just a few short weeks Madeline has booked catalogs, print ads and her first commercial! You are always informative and encouraging. Thanks for all your straight forward advice and, especially, thank you for your enthusiasm. It's contagious!" - Tina B. Boca Raton, Florida

"I spent over $1500 on a worthless photo shoot and comp cards at a bogus Florida kids modeling agency when we first started only to find out from several real agencies that they would not take my son's comp cards because they didn't want to support the 'photo mill' business, even though I was promised by the so-called agency we purchased them from that other agencies would accept them. Then, after hearing how you do things, we scheduled a real photo shoot with you and had some inexpensive comp cards made within days, which all of the agencies gladly accepted. Ethan got several direct bookings almost immediately based on his pictures alone (no casting required) and has made almost $3000 in the last couple of months. Being new to modeling, I am so glad that I found you and feel so comfortable to be able call with the stupid questions that every mother has but is afraid to ask. You are a sincere individual who will look out for what is best for a child's career as well as guide people through the many pitfalls and obstacles in this business - a rare person to find in this world. Feel free to use me as a reference any time." - Ryann G. Pembroke Pines, Florida

"Getting my daughter started in modeling has been on my 'to do list' for two years but every time I started to look into it i was so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of confusing and conflicting information I found and everything seemed so sketchy that I kept putting it off. Then I found you and everything was so rationally presented and clearly explained and the other moms I talked to were so helpful I knew I had finally found what I had been looking for. And now, here we are a few weeks later, and I am so excited about how fast things have been happening and I can't get over how easy and fun the entire process has been. Thank you so very much!" - Vesper P. Fort Lauderdale, Florida

"Wow! What a difference a great photographer makes! You do really beautiful work and the locations were gorgeous! I get goosebumps when I look at some of the photos, especially the ones in the purple coat and boots. I love the one in the white top with the skinny jeans too, I can see them in a magazine!" - Cristal R. Jacksonville, Florida

"My daughter is a 7 year old model that has already done international jobs in Europe including Diesel and Roberto Cavalli fashion shows in Italy. As I heard about you then visited your home page I knew that this would be the right place to make the best photos and a new comp card for her. Right now we are in Germany, but we can come to Miami whenever we need to for a shoot." - Marius M. Munich, Germany

"I am 20 but mostly do teen work as I look younger.... I need new photos and I have been searching high and low for the 'IT' factor - then I came across your site and BAM I knew it was IT! I am from Ohio and plan to come to Florida in the fall and would love to set up a session. Please let me know what I need to do. Thanks!" - Kim E. Westerville, Ohio

"We were referred by a friend in the business and were able to call a few more of your clients for references. Each of them had nothing but wonderful comments about Moda Bambini Kids Photography and their photos! After our photo shoot, I can attest to the fact that if you want great photos to get started, Moda Bambini is the place to go! Carson is now working with the best agencies in Miami and I have already witnessed first hand the power of having great photos! We can't wait to see where else modeling takes us! Thanks! - Krista S. - Panama City, Florida

"WOW!!!!!!!! As I suspected, your work is the best and of the highest professional quality. I'm still amazed after looking at everything for the 50th time! I didn't know Whitney could do so well - and this was her very first time so it's not just in her looks, but in the fact that you guided her so well. You are amazing and your work is tops! THANK YOU!" - Whitney P. Atlanta, Georgia

"Suzanne's pictures arrived yesterday and they are just FANTASTIC! Thanks again for all your time and advice." - Ann Marie B. Orlando Florida

"We know several people that have used your services that are very happy and, as our two girls are brand new to modeling, I would like to get them started on the right foot. One has already booked a couple of jobs but I think her pictures could use some help. Please call me as soon as you have a moment to arrange. Thank you so very much." - Victoria E. (Miami Herald Restaurant Critic) Miami Beach, Florida

"I cherish the relationship we have, I look forward to referring you to other parents and I feel honored that you had the best time at a shoot in years with us! I value your opinion and expertise and I think you got some spectacular shots. Cheers and thanks a million." - Victoria E. (Miami Herald Restaurant Critic) Miami Beach, Florida

"We did a shoot this weekend and got a chance to look at the pictures today and they looked great. This was a wonderful experience compared to the pictures we had done before. Previously we went with the photographer our agency referred us to and we felt scammed and hated the pictures. This was a great experience with good info to boot. Well worth the price...." Dr. Melissa L. - Boca Raton, Florida

"My agency was stunned when I booked five jobs in one week all of which direct bookings off your photos alone (no castings) and this week I beat out over 300 other teen girls from every top agency in Louisiana, Georgia and Florida for a $6,600 Chik-Fil-A commercial - also a direct booking off your photos alone!" - Camille R. Tampa, Florida

"Many thanks, we enjoyed every moment of our trip, such a beautiful place! It's a good feeling to know that we traveled a long way not knowing what to expect - but everything was just 'as said.' Beautifully done and very organized. The photographers were great... working with them was a delight and your stylists are superior - better than those I have had on actual jobs. Our thanks for being so nice.... You always made sure that we were well taken care of. Again, many thanks." - Sacha W. Atlanta, Georgia.

"I just want to thank you for everything you did for my daughter on her recent trip. She had the time of her life and it is the first time since she has wanted to get into modeling that I feel positive about her career. I know now that you are definitely on the up and up, and that's a good feeling after all the experiences we've had with various modeling schools, agencies, etc. I would recommend you to anyone trying to get into modeling. I wish that we had heard about you years ago." - Paulette M. Ft. Payne, Alabama

"Today I am spreading 'thank you's' to people that deserve them. You are someone special and I can see that you care about your job and helping others. Thank you for a wonderful experience." - Jennifer L. Atlanta, Georgia

"I really appreciate you getting everything out to us so quickly. It's great to go to the site and see that stunning photograph of Kylee. I don't even have words for how amazing she looks and what a great job you did. Thanks again for everything, I am so glad that we decided to give it a shot and come down to Miami. We would do it again in a heartbeat." - Ashley G. Atlanta, Georgia

"Thank so very much for your awesome work with Lily today, I can't wait to see her on the Moda Bambini Kids Photography web site.... We are thankful for the opportunity to have had Lily's photos done with you. Thanks again!" - Fran O. Orlando, Florida

"I was just looking at the pictures for the first time and OMG, I am speechless. Your work is just spectacular. I told one of our agents about the pictures, she told me how awesome you are and she is asking for some. Thank you again for everything, your time and your help. I know we are in good hands. God will open doors for my daughter because of your amazing work and because you do it with such passion." UPDATE: "Everywhere we go everyone loves the photographs and comp cards and Sophia has ended up booking a job from every casting she has gone on with them for the last three months in a row. We are so thankful. " - Patricia S. Boca Raton, Florida

"t takes special skills to work with kids and after seeing what you have been able to accomplish with so many kids first hand, I knew you were the only choice if I wanted to do things the right way. Long story short, 4 days after you started helping us Milena got her first big booking solely because of your personal recommendation (no casting), she has done 10 more big bookings since then including Next UK, Filou and Friends and Toys R Us - most of them direct bookings off your photos alone - and she has made over $4,000 in her first two and a half weeks." - Yvonne R. Miami, Florida

"When I decided to get my kids into modeling I came across your beautiful pictures, and I knew I had found the right photographer. I had no clue about the business and you were so informative and helpful. I have never met anyone as patient and sincere as you have been with us. Thank you so much for making the first steps fun and enjoyable for my girls. I look forward to working with you again, and we are ready for the new season! Thanks again." - Candida Y. Lake Worth, Florida

"I have been taking my daughter to castings for the last year or so and couldn't help but notice that virtually all of the top booking and most successful child models in Florida have one thing in common - Moda Bambini Kids Photography. So I knew early on that when it came time to update my daughter's photos and comp cards there was only one place to go."

"My experience with Moda Bambini Kids Photography has been wonderful. You are super at what you do and it has been an honor for me to have had an opportunity to work with you. From day one, I was told 'always tell the truth' and 'never make pie in the sky' promises to anyone that I refer. I have immensely enjoyed helping people get off to a great start through Moda Bambini Kids Photography - a respected brand that I so strongly believe in. I have seen the success of so many others that Moda Bambini has launched first hand so I'm very happy to recommend you to others. I enjoy putting smiles on peoples faces and helping them to succeed. Thank you for the opportunity and remember a smile goes a long, long way!" - Melissa D. Cocoa Beach, Florida
