2009 Baby Model Search

Hi All,

I am announcing the first casting call in the 2009 Baby Model Search. Occasionally I need to photograph a very specific baby at a very specific point in their development and this year I am looking for:

Sun, Sand and Sitting
- A baby, boy or girl, ~8 months old that's able to sit up on its own without help, to be photographed outdoors at the beach playing in the sand. If you are comfortable with having a sandy baby in a summer outfit or in a bathing suit, and can provide suitable age-appropriate beach toys and entertainment, apply for this particular baby model casting role! This is not an opportunity for a family portrait, only the baby playing will be photographed, perhaps with mom making an appearance in some photographs to facilitate play.

Baby Steps
- A baby, preferably a little girl, that is just learning to walk. Preference for one that is able to take a few steps alone and handle the inevitable little falls - and then push right back up and try again. We will be taking portraits of that joy of first discovery of walking and some portraits with mom and dad's hands helping along in the process. The portrait session will be outdoors in a grassy location.

First Birthday
- A just-about-to-turn or just-turned one year old little girl, preferably with a full head of hair to be photographed at home included some first birthday type shots with cake. Preference for location in Seattle and a home with good light indoors and even a small nice grassy space outdoors.

To apply for any of the baby model roles, please send your baby's name, age, sex, sitting/walking ability, why you think your baby would be perfect for the role, and preferably a recent snapshot to be considered. Open to new clients or friends and family of existing clients. Clients, please let me know what your portrait needs are if your baby fits one of the roles. Email applications to info@mlarsonphoto.com. Thanks!

Baby models will receive: a complimentary portrait session, two 5x7 portraits of the artist's choice, a "Facebook file" of those two portraits, and will be featured on Facebook, the M. Larson Photography blog, and the M. Larson Photography website. You will be able to see edited proofs for one week and will have the opportunity to make an additional purchase, but no purchase is necessary.
