Greater Des Moines is home to regional retailers, insurance and financial brands, and local businesses that need kids for print, web and social campaigns. We work with families across central Iowa and also put children forward for shoots in bigger Midwest cities when they can travel.
Your child's profile, searchable by brands
Every profile is live to brands and casting teams in West Des Moines the moment it's activated. You stay in control from your parent dashboard.
People working your profile, too
Our team also puts suitable profiles forward for briefs, handles the back-and-forth with brands and guides you through each booking.
We can't promise work, and nobody honestly can. We can promise your child's profile is genuinely in front of the people doing the casting.
What parents in central Iowa should know
A few things that help your child get booked outside the big cities.
Local brands need local kids
Regional retailers, healthcare and financial brands often prefer local families for print, web and social shoots.
Set your travel range
If you can travel to Chicago, Minneapolis or Kansas City for bigger shoots, add it to the profile so your child is considered for more work.
State rules apply to every shoot
Iowa has its own rules for working minors. The production arranges anything needed, and we check the basics with the brand before you confirm.
A parent is always there
A parent or guardian stays with your child for the whole shoot. You get the call time, location and expected length before you confirm, and you can say no to anything.
