Question 1

How do I apply to join the agency?

Accepted Answer

Please visit our Submission Page to review the full requirements. To apply, email submissions@lunamodelmgmt.com with the requested details.

Question 2

Is there a geographical requirement for representation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. To ensure our talent can attend last-minute auditions, fittings, and shoots, we only represent talent who live within a 75-mile radius of San Francisco. If you live outside this area, it is unlikely we can consider your child for representation.

Question 3

What kind of photos should I send?

Accepted Answer

We prefer 4-7 recent, clear, high-quality home snapshots. Please attach them directly to your email, no links, please. We want to see your child as they are naturally. Please avoid professional studio headshots, filters, heavy editing, costumes, or accessories like hats and sunglasses.

Question 4

When will I hear back?

Accepted Answer

We review all submissions as they come in. If we believe your child is a potential fit, we will follow up with you directly within 2-4 weeks. Please note that due to the volume of submissions, we are unable to respond to every application, and we kindly ask that you do not call or email our office to check on the status of your submission.

Question 5

Are there any upfront fees to join?

Accepted Answer

Reputable agencies generally do not charge upfront fees to "join" the agency. Agencies operate on a commission basis, which is a percentage of the model's earnings.

Question 6

Are there laws regarding child labor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every state has specific labor laws regarding how many hours a child can work based on their age. We ensure that all productions we work with follow these safety and legal regulations.

Question 7

Does my child need a work permit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In California, all minors working in the entertainment industry are required by law to have an active Entertainment Work Permit (EWP). The link to apply for your child's EWP is here.

Question 8

How do I know if my child is "right" for modeling?

Accepted Answer

Modeling is not just about looks; it requires a child who is energetic and outgoing, enjoys meeting new people, and has the confidence to take direction. If your child finds the process stressful, it is best not to force it. As a parent, you must be prepared for the time commitment—including driving to auditions, waiting on sets, and managing schedules.

Question 9

Do you sign kids with special needs, or who are are differently-abled?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are actively seeking talent of all abilities, backgrounds, and genders to join our roster.  We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment and are always looking to champion diverse talent. If you are submitting for a child with specific needs or accessibility requirements, please feel free to note any relevant information in your submission email.
