We signed up to Munchkins agency at the cost of $450...What a rip off. The baby gets a 5 minute photo session on a hard concrete floor with dozens of screaming babies all over the place. The photo were terrible because our baby was stressed but they used them anyway. Do your self a favour before signing up....go and spend a day outside their agency (if you can call it that) and watch the dozens after dozens of babies and tots streaming in for a photo and a promised modelling career. You will be astonished. There is no way this shonky agency get get them all work. They are only interested in $450. per head. We cancelled after we saw the terrible photos on the website and asked for a refund. What did we get back? NOTHING....dont risk it. Tim Mitchell read more

We submitted our daughter's photo to Munchkins Management and received the email that we "had been accepted", although I highly doubt anyone is rejected....so we went to the "interview" paid our $450 and a photoshoot was arranged. Photoshoot? More like a cattle call. When we arrived there were lots of babies, kids, teens lined up for their 10 minute photoshoot. Our baby was asked to sit on a cold concrete floor and given directions like "she better smile soon because we have other kids to get to". The biggest disappointment to us was the quality of the photos - to say they are dreadful would be an understatement. Every aspect of the photography was unprofessional, from the setting itself to the lighting - we take far better photos on our iPhone. When you join Munchkins Management you will get smothered in love about how adorable your baby is and how she has been put forward for jobs etc.....by coincidence, this all stops after you have paid your money. I have no idea if they are legit or a scam, but what I can say is that the quality of the photography is simply abysmal. We passed the photos on to a professional photographer for a second opinion and he agreed that they were nowhere near professional quality. We offered to supply our own professionally taken photographs yet Munchkins Management knocked this back. When we raised our concerns with Munchkins we received what looked like a "cut and paste, insert name here" verbose email explaining what great value for money their service is, with nonsensical points like "Unlimited website maintenance to ensure that your profile is always up to date and correct" These guys are simply taking advantage of every parents idea that their child is a super model in the making. read more

Not sure what this agency was like three years ago, but Jen and the team are so amazing and they really know how the industry works. If you're happy to take your little devils off to a casting with short notice then maybe you'll get to see their faces on a billboard!! It's exciting when that happens read more

Well I must say I was a bit skeptical about joining another agency after being burnt by SK. HIdden fees so beware. However, I am absolutely wrapt I took the plunge again and joined Munchkins in January who have restored my faith that there is actually work out there for my three children. I am of course biased, but we have been to umpteen castings and two of my three chlldren have been in a video clip and also participated in a Target TVC and Barbie stills shoot. Im over the moon and I couldn't care if I got anything else for awhile as we have had a great start. Top up those little bank accounts. They are very pro-active with their Facebook and communication is second to none. We are notified every time we are submitted for a casting and even though we may not get it we know they are working behind the scenes. Keep up the good work girls. Can't wait to join the acting classes you have going. Thank you soooooooo much Deb, Katie, Caroline and Carli. x Read less read more

We have found the agency to be fantastic. They are very professional everytime they have put our daughter out for work they have let us know to who and what for. Since joining a few months ago our daughter has already had two jobs and has just been submitted for another. We have found them down to earth and realistic about the industry. Still yet to see the professional photos was a little concerned on the day with how many babies were there but so far we are really happy. Keep up the good work girls! read more

Very impressed so far with this agency, my baby has only been registered for 1 week but she has already been submitted for 2 jobs and she has a Target job tomorrow, so excited! The girls that we met with at the interview were really friendly and helpful, they were honest about the industry which made me feel comfortable that they weren't just trying to take my money. read more
