Dear All DD and I have such an exciting day ahead of us. I was browsing a website a few weeks back and I noticed this page http://www.gltc.co.uk/fcp/content/stars/contentfullI spoke to DH about it because our daughter only has to see a camera and she strikes a pose, so I thought it would be fun for her. So I sent off 2 photos... and she has been called in for a photoshoot for the Autumn/Winter catalogue!!! So I am driving into London today - very scary for me but very exciting for her. I think it will be a fun day.  Wooley |

That is great news, Wooley. Your daughter is such a beautiful child.
Of course they would want her,for their catalogue, she's gorgeous.
Let us know what happened.

So, it was quite a long drive (2 and a half hours there due to appalling weather and traffic). My neighbour had DS1, luckily, but I took DS2 with us. As we walked in, the whole team there started saying how lovely Sarah was. I felt so proud of her. They also did a fair bit of oggling at Luke too, it has to be said. Sarah was fantastic... she so enjoyed it and did everything they said. The words "front cover" were heard more than once  She is also going to be on the website so I will post links at the time. I honestly thought this was to be a one off for the experience, but they seemed to love her and I wouldn't be surprised if they call us back for more. Also the independent photographer and stylist wouldn't let me go without taking face shots of Luke and then Sarah too... and said they would call me if they had something that Luke could do...(and I quote) "only if it's fairly decent money like a baby food campaign". Again, I have to say he was passed around quite a lot and obviously quite a hit with all the ladies. The practising of flirting schools with the Mums at school has obviously trained him well... It was a fun day. But 4 hours driving total and I am in for an early night!!!! Wooley |

How neat, Woo!
From what I've heard, baby modelling can be very lucrative for the little ones. What a great way to start a little nest egg for them!

I know what you mean, Itchychick... to be honest I was going to take Sarah today just for fun but when the confirmation email came through, it stated that we would get £50 per hour in credit to spend at the company. We were there for almost 3 hours... that's a whole lot of toys!!!
50/hr though... I mean surely very few ADULTS earn at that hourly rate in their jobs. I was quite surprised to be honest!

Wow ! wooley ! It certainly is a good income, and I do hope Your little ones get plenty of opportunities, for modelling. I know children love it in the studio usually. (My brother was a photographer (before retirement) and did lots of work for some of our glossy magazines and catalogues.) Bunnie

By 8.30 today we were at DS1's pre-school as they had a photography company around to take photos of the children, and I wanted to finally get a nice photo of all 3 children together.. to please MIL as much as anyone as she has been nagging me for months for a photo of all of them... Anyway there were 3 families there waiting. The photographer was setting up and wanted a "confident child for some test shots". So I looked at the other Mothers who were looking a bit nervous, and off Sarah went...  She is SUCH a poser... I have no idea where she gets it from as I HATE having my photo taken. Wooley |

I have read that some kids just have the "pose gene", she must have gotten it, my eldest has it too and now she is dancing and singing as well as a bit of modelling. It will make it easy for Sarah to be a model anyway. they wont have to ask her to pose she will know what to do ...  |

Here is a link to the first photo that is now on the website: http://www.gltc.co.uk/fcp/categorydeptsub/dept/just_arrivedThe other item isn't on there yet. If you can't see her, search for "country rose cottage". So proud of her! Wooley |

andyb, she was paid in credit for the company at a rate of £50 per hour. I considered the cottage but it's really quite large and we just don't have the space for it, so what I am going to do is put cash in her bank account for the amount she made (more useful when she is older etc), and then use the credit for birthday/christmas presents etc.

Well we had a call a couple of weeks ago, asking if Sarah would like to go back for some more modelling. They had previously called a few months back but when had a holiday planned so we couldn't make it... but we went back again on Thursday and spent a whole day in a beautiful garden with Sarah and 2 other children doing some shots for the Spring/Summer catalogue. I had a jumper and coat on, and was freezing - the children were running around in summer dresses and other such outfits... it made me feel cold just watching them! They didn't feel it though... lucky children.
A couple of people at the shoot suggested we join an agency for Sarah, but despite the lure of Sarah potentially being on TV and actually quite good money for her account, I think it would be really difficult with sorting out the other children, school etc. Apparently they want people at short notice quite often so it would be almost impossible. I think we will stick with just this company.
I will add links again, when they are on the website.
Woo xx

Had an email yesterday saying they have given us *** £250 *** of credit for last week's photoshoot!!! WOOOO HOOOO!!! They paid us for some of the waiting time - I was really surprised.
Last time I put the cash equivalent in her bank account and used the credit for presents etc, but this time I am going to save the credit as DD would like a "princess bed" so one day we'll be able to get that.

Wow Woo! Well done both of you, actually all of you. What a thrill and as you say the money will come in very handy when Sarah is older. plus she'll have some lovely memories as will you.  Sadly the link you put up no longer works so I'm looking forward to seeing the new one when you put it up. |

Hi again, yes they stopped selling the play house that the original link was from but here is the other shot that she did in her first shoot: http://tinyurl.com/yg48j3lShe did 4 shots in the latest shoot (it was meant to be 3 but she got sulky when the lady said she had finished so they let her do another one, lol). I can't wait to see the photos... Woo |
