By submitting non professional pictures of your child to modeling agencies that have a children's division. If they like your child's photos, they will ask you to come in for an interview and will offer a modeling contract if they are interested. You should only look into modeling agencies that represent children. Any other agency will not accept your submission. Stay away from modeling schools, modeling classes, and conventions. Your best bet is to go through the actual agencies themselves, which is often free.

If you have an outgoing and interested child, you will know it, as his or her motivation and enthusiasm will be evident. # Take photographs of your child. Get a clear smile shot, a head shot and a full length photograph. Make sure that only one child is in each picture. On the back of the pictures include the child's size, height, date of birth and contact information. # Contact modeling agencies that represent children near your area. Set up an appointment to meet with them. Keep your ground (and head) when you're on the phone, as the person on the other end can sometimes be disinterested or may even try to dissuade you for any number of reasons. # Prepare your child. The agency will conduct an interview to see if he or she is suitable for any jobs. Consider giving your child public speaking, modeling, art or dance lessons, as these will help to improve his or her self-esteem, regardless of what your child ends up doing. # An ebook called "Child Modeling Without Breaking the Bank" by Gloria D. Heffner discusses ways to a lot of the portfolio & marketing issues yourself. It also gives a resource(s)to find agents in your area. It has a creative way to make a resume if the child has very little or even no experience.
You will have to submit your photos and information to a reputable modeling agency in your city/state that lists Target as one of its clients. If you have the right look and personality, they will sign you to the agency and submit you for future modeling work for Target and other related companies.
The most practical approach is to do an online search for modeling agencies within a 2 hour drive of where you live. It is important to look up the official websites of agencies that represent teen models. Or, if the 14-year-old model is at least 5'7" or taller, they can submit themselves to fashion agencies. Once signed and offered a contract, the agency will begin submitting the model for paid work.
