How Often Should I Update My Kid's Headshots?

I often have parents asking me when they should update their kids headshots.  Six months, nine months, a year?  Honestly this can vary with young actors.  There are a few things to take into consideration when answering this question.

The MOST important time to update your kids headshots is when they look different.  Have their teeth changed?  Have they grown three inches?  Do they have a different hair cut or hair style?  Has their face filled out?  Do they look like their headshot?  Is their face fuller, older, thinner? Do they have braces now? The basic question you should ask yourself is "Will the casting director meet the exact actor they see in the headshot?"

Kids headshots Los Angeles

Kids go thru growth spurts and change quickly so they have to update their headshots more often then an adult actor.  Adults sometimes wait two to three years between headshot sessions.  But a child actor can change in appearance rapidly, so a kids headshot should be updated more often.  Consider the difference in appearance between the age of ten and thirteen years.    Usually the younger the child the more obvious the changes in their appearance. 

Kids headshots should be updated more often the adult headshots.  Typically a child may need to update their headshot every six months to one year.

Again the younger the actor the more often you need to update the shots.  A baby looks completely different from age 3 months to 9 months.  That's why most talent agents are willing to accept non-professional headshots or photos for babies.  Casting directors want to see what the child looks like right now and know that is who they are bringing in for the acting audition.  If Disney or Nickelodeon casting is seeking a baby to play two years old and your child has headshots from one year ago, they will most likely miss that opportunity to get called in for an audition.  And if they do get called in you will greatly disappoint the casting director!

Teenage headshots

Another thing to consider is if the headshot has gone stale or if things have slowed down.  I have observed that my most successful clients do not wait to get an updated headshot.  This includes both celebrity child actors, celebrity teen actors and also the working child actors who stay busy booking commercials and TV roles, but you may not recognize them yet.  When there is a pause in auditions or things have slowed down a little bit, they are on it and updating those headshots.  You have to realize that casting may see the photo day in and day out for months at a time.

Children's Headshots

Remember that children's headshots and actors headshots are a tool...a promotional tool.  We all know about Honda, Nike, State Farm and Geico but they don't stop promoting to us.  Otherwise we slowly forget about them or don't think about them when we are shopping for new insurance or their products.  And if we saw the same commercial for 1 year we would be a little sick of it.  It can be the same in casting TV and commercials.

Layering Wardrobe for a Successful Shoot.

When putting together the wardrobe for your child or teen actors headshot session I always like to see some "layers" and clothing options for this.  Good layering choices that work really well for a kids headshot include denim jackets, hoodies, plaid shirts and long sleeve shirts to go under short sleeve shirts.

Layers can create a more youthful look in a headshot.  For example a teenager who looks older then their age, may want to add a hoody to one of the shots to keep her young and more youthful for her acting headshots.  Denim jackets and plaid shirts also give this vibe.  Blouses on the other hand tend to look more sophisticated and older.   It is especially important for teens to not look to old in their headshots, but that will be a different post.  Key is to keep an actor more on the youthful side and layers can help project this in a teen acting headshot.  Same rule applies for a child who looks a little bit older then their age. 

Layers can also add dimension to the photograph which makes for a more interesting headshot and steers away from the 'school photo" look which tend to be very one dimensional. 

Layers are also wonderful for child modeling and print modeling headshots or ZED cards or model cards.  It's a great way to project fashion and mix patterns or create  a hip look.  I recommend a choice of both solid color wardrobe headshots and then some patterned or layered choices for the card.  Show some variety.  Layers are also a great way to create fun looks for boys headshots and modeling cards since boys clothing is more limited then girls.

When you schedule your kids headshot session, ensure you bring some clothing that will be good for layers.  In the meantime here are some examples of kids headshots and some teen headshot showing layering.

This patterned blouse would be too busy by itself in a kids headshot.  But layered with the cardigan it works really well.  This image is great for both a kids headshot and a modeling or ZED card for child models.

Kids headshots really pop off the page if the colors are layered well.  This means choosing colors that work well together and show nicely in a tiny thumbnail.

The yellow collar frames her face against this dark denim.  Really nice layering for a kids headshot.

The colors in this kids headshot work really well together as layers.  Not too busy, but interesting.  This kids headshot is good for both a headshot and or a child modeling ZED card.

Perfect example of a layered teen headshot for tv & film use. 

I really love seeing two of the same colors layered together in different tones.  This keeps the kids headshot simple and not too busy or distracting, but still adds interest.

The layers in this shot are fabulous for her print modeling portfolio and her child model Zed card.  It's the colors that really work together and pop off the page. 

This is a very powerful kids headshot.  The layers are very simple yet add a little bit of dimension. 

Nice casual layered wardrobe choice for child modeling or ZED card.  Clean and not too distracting, but has some dimension to it.

The layers in this teen headshot really brings out his eyes.
