Ministar is one of Belgium’s top child modelling agencies, specialising in diversity child model photography, high-end advertising casting and photo casting for children.
Ministar was founded by Marie-France, becoming the first modelling agency for children and preteens in Belgium. This family project, which began in a home living room, has since evolved into an international organisation renowned for its ability to unearth the talent of tomorrow.
Ministar takes a major step forward and becomes a private family company, consolidating its activities and expertise.
Jean-François, Marie-France’s son, completes his university studies with a master’s degree in advertising and marketing, ready to add new skills to the under-13s fashion and advertising modelling agency.
LoonaStar, a modelling agency for teenage and adult actors and models, is set up. This new project broadens the horizons of the Ministar family, opening up to a variety of talent and focusing on inclusion in even more ambitious projects.
After 22 years’ experience in advertising and marketing agencies, Jean-François takes over as head of the family business. This period also marks the development of a department dedicated to actors and artists at LoonaStar, with increasingly diverse projects.
Ministar celebrates its 30th anniversary surrounded by the children and parents who have made the agency such a success.
Ministar celebrates its 40th anniversary! We are proud of the thousands of Ministars who have followed us over the past four decades. In addition to this, we are taking steps to further increase our international presence.
Each child is unique, and we take the time to meet them before contacting our clients. At Ministar, we attach great importance to human relations, because we are convinced that no machine can replace the attention and empathy that are essential to our profession.
Thanks to our expertise and human approach, we support children as they learn about modelling or film, while meeting the requirements of industry professionals with recognised expertise.
Whether in child castings or applying to a children’s modelling agency, or for questions about child modelling, we support each family step by step and each client from project to project.
Ministar, a fashion and advertising model agency for under-13s, is aimed at professionals looking for a human casting agency or a modelling agency for film and TV.

For over 40 years, we have been recognised as one of the best modelling agencies in Belgium and, more specifically, one of the best child modelling agencies in Belgium.
All our vision is based on clear, structured and straightforward communication, for a perfect understanding of the casting and shoot assignments and other services. Help in understanding work status (for whichever country the service is provided in), types of remuneration and tax aspects is also part of our approach with parents.
A legal agreement between the agency and the parents frames our approach to protect the children, ensure their remuneration and defend their rights. To this end, the agency works with the best lawyers in services and image rights.
Do you need a young trilingual actress with a devastating sense of humour or a 12-year-old NASA specialist? You’ll find one in our database. It includes children, babies, girls and boys, of all styles and backgrounds. And we know all these children really well because they come to visit us before they have any kind of meeting with a client. At Ministar, machines have not taken over from the human relationship.
Our strength lies in communicating clearly and in a structured way, so that castings, shoots and other services are fully understood. We also help to explain the status of work (depending on the country where the service is provided), the type of remuneration and the tax aspects.
We also sometimes manage provision contracts for artists who perform live for a production house which, in turn, requires a passage through an agency. Case in which it is clear that we defend the interest of the artist for a lower agency commission.
