There is not a tremendous amount of work for children in Sacramento, but there is some and what there is we know about. It ranges from commercial print to fashion shows to television and film. The busiest kids are between the ages of five and nine but all ages can work. Children do not have to be beautiful (sometimes clients want quirky kids) but they must be outgoing, able to take direction, well behaved, and good with people even on the first meeting. Parents MUST be nice, professional, easy to work with, and willing to let the kids speak for themselves as soon as they are old enough.

Please send at least two snapshots--one should be a close up of your child’s face and one a full length. Try to have the child fill up the frame in the photo so we can really see what they look like. Please do not spend money on professional pictures if you do not already have them--snapshots are fine for now. Include your name, daytime phone number and/or pager number, your child’s age and date of birth, their hair and eye color, height and size. Also list any experience in the business or special skills.

Email: Please email your snapshots and information to info@castimages.com. Please type "submission" in the subject field of your email--this will keep our spam filter from deleting your message. Be sure to include your daytime phone number and your address. Please DO NOT direct us to a an outside website that contains your photos (ie. Flickr, myspace, etc.) Send them at attached JPGs instead. Please keep each photo under 50K.

Mail: Chandra Bourne - Cast Images - 2530 J Street Ste 330, Sacramento CA 95816. Be sure to include a daytime phone number and/or pager number. We'll call your child in for an agency audition if we are interested and you’ll usually hear from us within two to three weeks.

She submits little ones to us (as well as SF & LA agents) when we need them.
