Blythe Green, from Cambridge, now rakes in up to £150 for an hour-long photo shoot and represents 10 brands online.
A fortnight ago Blythe was just a normal three-year-old – and her mum Gemma, 31, had just 140 Instagram followers on her Instagram page.
But since marketing executive Gemma started uploading photos of her little girl on July 31, her daughter has become an internet star with a whopping 82,000 followers.
Now, just 15 days into her career as an ‘Insta-kid’,brown-eyed Blythe has bagged herself a child modelling contract with Kitsch Agency.
Mum Gemma, who lives with her husband Nick Green, 30, who works in IT, and their five-year-old son Caleb, said her daughter’s success has raised her own Instagram profile.
She explained: “I’ve had Instagram for ages but posting pictures of Blythe gave it a boost I never dreamed of.
“People work for years to build up the career that my daughter’s built in days. She’s an inspiration to other aspiring social media stars.
“She’s a natural and is happiest in front of the lens – I’m not surprised it’s only taken days for thousands to notice her.”
Gemma has made her own clothes as a hobby for three years, posting the results on her Instagram page to her 140 followers.
But when a family photograph was taken in December 2015, the mum says Blythe, then two, “came alive” in front of the camera.
She recalled: “She took to posing for the camera straight away.
“While the rest of the family is a bit camera shy and awkward in front of the camera, Blythe loved it.
“I realised she was a natural.”
From there, the mum told how she started snapping her girl regularly but resisted uploading photos of her daughter online.
At the end of last month, Gemma decided to upload a photo of Blythe to her Instagram account wearing one her designs, using the hashtags #childmodel #newfaces and#kidsfashions.
The photo clocked up a massive 1,155 likes and the page attracted thousands of new followers.
Gemma said: “It was incredible. Like any mum I had always thought my daughter was beautiful but when the likes started clocking up I realised other people thought so too.
“My Instagram page was seeing more action in one day than it ever had!”
