Star Kids Modeling Contest Underway!
Posted by portraitshoppe on May 30, 2009
Beautiful, aren’t they? Well, those are all the winners from last years Star Kids Modeling Contest!
Every summer the Portrait Shoppe puts on our very own modeling contest: Star Kids! This is the 6th Annual Star Kids Modeling Competition, and it’s going to be awesome! Once again Images modeling agency is going to be doing our judging, and as always a portion of the proceeds from Star Kids every year goes to benefit UK Children’s Hospital. Here are the basics you need to know to get you child or children entered into Star Kids:
Dates: May 1st -August 1st – Your portrait session needs to be done within this time period. *Suggestion: get it done early, because the end of July is crazy busy with people trying to cram it in!*)
Ages: 0-12 – We’ve added an 11 and 12 year old category this year, so you can even bring your older children in!
Categories: 0-11 mo., 12-23 mo., 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-1, 11-12. Within each age category there are 2 boy winners and 2 girl winners: one reality (traditional) winner, and one imagination (fantasy) winner.
2 Overall winners: one 0verall winner from ages 0-3, and one overall winner from ages 4-12.
How do I get started? Just make an appointment at the Portrait Shoppe – call 859-277-6671 or schedule an appointment online.
What about scenes and outfits? For Star Kids, there are NO RESTRICTIONS! You can wear anything and use any of our scenes – but we have to have individual images, group shots won’t work.
How do you choose which image to use? We don’t – YOU do. We’ll help you of course, and give you suggestions, but the final decision is yours as to which image you want to submit.
What does my child get if he/she wins? Every participant, winner or not, will get a 4×6 of the image they choose and a goodie bag full of prizes, coupons, and discounts at all participating businesses in Lexington. Typically those gift bags are worth somewhere in the vicinity of $100. The category winners will get more substantial prizes: gift certificates, dinners, etc. And the overall winners? Free registration and classes at Images Modeling Agency!
All you have to do to get started is call up the Portrait Shoppe and schedule a photo session before the end of Saturday, August 1st. 859-277-6671. But don’t wait too long, or you might not be able to get a spot.
We look forward to meeting your Star Kids, and seeing them shine right here!

Rachel, yes the contest is open to anybody ages 0-12 (as of May 1st), but all photos must be taken at the Portrait Shoppe. We are located in Lexington KY, but you or the children don’t have to be a resident of KY to enter. You DO have to come to the Portrait Shoppe, though. So, if you are close to Lexington, please give us a call and let us know when would be a good time to bring your daughter in! Star Kids began May 1st and goes through the end of July. We hope to see you soon!
