A thoughtful first step into photography, creativity and professional talent opportunities—built around the child, guided by the family, and supported by SAM Studio.
Explore each route here. Child and teen registration lead to the same official form, which identifies age from the date of birth.

See the preparation checklistTap a step to see what happens. This is an explanation of the existing SAM process, not a second application.
Gather the guardian details, a few current photos, and only the young talent information needed for registration. Discuss interest and comfort before starting.
The date of birth determines the child or teen pathway. A parent or legal guardian completes the authorization and supplies the main contact information.
Submitted information and images are checked for completeness, consent and suitable professional presentation. Registration alone does not guarantee publication or casting.
Public or private profile status is managed in the account process, subject to SAM review. Private profiles should not appear in public discovery.
Updates, interests and any opportunities continue through the SAM and guardian channels—not through direct contact with a child or teen.
The page should feel inspiring. The experience behind it must remain professional, careful and guardian-led.
Consent, communication, profile updates and relevant choices are managed with the parent or legal guardian. This includes children and teenagers.
Keep school names, detailed home addresses, direct child contact information and unnecessary identifiers off public profiles.
Photographs and media should reflect the young person's age and comfort. SAM reviews the submitted presentation before use.
