Kids Model Search 2026 — Official Shortlist Invitation

Your Child Has Been Shortlisted.

This is your child's personal invitation to the Modelling Pathway Experience — created by POP! Photography and Bubblegum Casting. An opportunity to kickstart your child's modelling journey, with guidance every step of the way. Invitation only. Not available to the public.

⏳ Invitation expires midnight, 18 July 2026. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Out of Thousands of Kids — Yours Stood Out.

Thousands of kids entered our Kids Model Search. One grand prize winner was selected — but honestly, choosing was the hard part. There were so many amazing young faces that we couldn’t let them simply miss out.

So together with Bubblegum Casting — one of Australia’s leading kids’ talent agencies — we created a shortlist of standouts. A small group of kids we genuinely want to see in front of a camera. Your child is one of them.

This isn’t a prize draw, and it isn’t open to the public. It’s a personal invitation, limited to 120 spots, created for this shortlist only.

A Complete Modelling Pathway — Every Step Guided

Most parents who think their child could model never get started — for three reasons: they don’t know how, they don’t know who to trust, and they don’t have the right toolkit. The Modelling Pathway Experience solves all three. Completely.

1The Shoot

Your child's first professional studio photoshoot, with posing and styling guidance from a POP! photographer who works with kids every day. No experience needed. Just show up.

2The Folio

At your private Reveal Session you'll see the images and, if you'd like, build a casting-ready folio. The exact kind of images agencies and casting directors actually ask for.

3The Introduction

An Introduction & Discovery meeting with Bubblegum Casting to explore modelling or acting representation (subject to eligibility).

And you won’t be doing any of it alone. At every step, we guide you and your child: industry guides written for parents, Bubblegum Casting’s online Modelling Course, a live workshop where you can ask real industry people real questions — and our team telling you exactly what happens next at every stage. Most parents have no idea how the modelling world works. After this experience, you will — and you’ll never have to figure any of it out by yourself.

No guesswork. No fluff. No figuring it out alone.

And here's something we want to be upfront about: this benefits us too. POP! Photography and Bubblegum Casting are always searching for fresh young faces to work with and represent. This experience is how we genuinely discover emerging talent — and how kids get the chance to be discovered.

"The staff is so friendly and they really give my daughter the experience of being a professional model. We love it. She really has fun time."
This price exists only for this shortlist. It's not available anywhere else, to anyone else.

Why Saying Yes Is Completely Risk-Free

Is This Right for Your Child?

This invitation is for shortlisted kids aged 5 to 16. No experience needed. No preparation required. If they’re curious to try something new, enjoy taking photos, are into fashion or dressing up, and can follow direction, then this is a great opportunity.

And here’s the thing most parents tell us afterwards: whether or not modelling becomes “a thing,” the experience itself — being directed, photographed, and celebrated for an afternoon — builds a kind of confidence kids carry into everything else.

This is for parents who want to do it properly — guided, with people who do this every day — rather than guessing alone.

You're in the Safest Hands in the Industry

Let's Be Upfront About Images

The $99 includes the full experience and the $100 credit, but no digital images are included. Images can be purchased at the Reveal Session if (and only if) you love them.

Payment options:

AfterPay Split Invoice Digital Lay-By

FAQs

Questions Parents Ask

You’ll arrive at our Melbourne or Sydney studio for a 30-minute professional shoot. Your child gets 1-on-1 posing and styling guidance, multiple outfit changes and backdrops — and you’re with them the whole time. Shoots are fun, relaxed, and built around kids. No experience needed.

Bring a few outfit options — we recommend 2–3 different looks. After you book, you’ll receive our prep guide covering exactly what to bring, what works on camera, and how to get shoot-ready. You’ll never be left guessing.

Around 1–2 weeks after your shoot, you’ll join a private online Reveal Session to view your child’s images and select any you’d love to keep. Your $100 credit is applied here. There’s no obligation to purchase.

No — the $99 covers the full experience (shoot, coaching, Reveal Session, workshop, guides, course and more), and includes a $100 credit you can put towards digital images at your Reveal Session. Folio packages start at 5 images for $695 ($595 with your credit).

None at all. You only purchase images if you love them — and the Love-It Guarantee protects you either way.

It’s a 1-hour live workshop, run online — and both parents and kids are welcome to attend. The next one is scheduled for July, and it may fall before or after your shoot (either works). Once your photoshoot has been booked, the workshop details will be shared with you.

It’s a genuine introduction to one of Australia’s leading kids’ talent agencies, to explore whether modelling or acting representation is right for your child. It’s subject to eligibility (including having a casting-ready folio), and it isn’t a guarantee of representation — no reputable agency can promise that.

If you choose to build a folio of 20 images or more, your child’s images are guaranteed an editorial feature in a published magazine — a real, citable credit for their portfolio.

Simple: if you don’t love at least 3 of your child’s images at the Reveal Session, we’ll reshoot — completely free.

Yes — with 72+ hours’ notice, your $99 becomes a credit and we’ll rebook you. Less than 72 hours’ notice or a no-show forfeits the fee (medical certificates reviewed case-by-case).

The $99 commitment fee is non-refundable outside the cooling-off period. You have a 48-hour cooling-off period when your shoot is more than 72 hours away.

More than okay — it’s most of the kids we photograph. Our photographers work with children every week and know exactly how to make them comfortable. Many parents tell us the confidence boost was the best part of the whole experience.
