recent headshot and modeling session with a 4 year old.

A couple of headshots and model shots from a recent session with a lovely little red head actress.  Her personality is as vibrant as her hair.  Such a beautiful child! 

She is more then perfect for Hollywood with those looks!

Many agents like the actor to look off to the side for a modeling shot.  But for main headshots the actor should be connecting to the camera.

Perfect commercial headshot!  Smiley, likeable, shows they eyes well and vibrant...pops off the page.

A beautiful modeling shot!  Also, can work in her acting profile to show her body type and size.

Stage Moms!

When I read this article about stage moms and child actors I thought it hit the nail on the head!  I've had many of the same experiences as the writer, who spells it out in her well written piece on stage moms and kids in the business of acting and performing.

As a headshot photographer specializing in kids and teen actors, on a regular basis parents disclose to me their fears about this business and whether they are making a mistake to support the wish of their child to act.

I've met some of the nicest families and parents who have genuine concern.  They are looking out for their child's well being and rightfully so!  They tell me that their kid loves to perform and or the child/teen always mentions they want to be on tv, or are begging the parent to get them an agent. The parents say they don't want to squash their childs dreams and goals, but they are a little bit afraid of some of the stage mom stories and news about young actors who went off the rails.

If you have those same concerns...take a look at this article in the Huffington Post.  I couldn't agree with her more.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/denice-duff/shocking-stage-moms-vs-nf_b_6025674.html

"Nice Disney star gone bad" seems to be all over the news, but in truth there are very few bad apples compared to the many that have continued to succeed or do well in life.

Here's a great opportunity to meet a very busy and wonderful casting director-Lisa London!  Lisa has discovered and cast many young celebrities including Miley Cyrus, Jonah Hill, Emma Stone, Salina Gomez and many more faces you see on tv and the big screen.

She has been in casting  for over twenty years casting such shows as "Suite Life of Zack & Cody", "Roseanne", "Ellen", "Grace Under Fire", "Hannah Montana" and many, many more.  Check out her IMDB to see her past projects and what current shows she cast: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0518740/http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0518740

Lisa recently wrote and published a book "From Start To Stardom" which you can purchase on her website "From Start to Stardom". The book is a must read for all teen actors and parents of child and teen actors.  If you want to know about Disney castings, TV casting and feature films, read this book.  It's easy reading and has interviews with successful young celebrities and how they climbed the ladder to success.  You can buy the e-book and begin reading right away or buy the hardcopy at her book signing. 

Some of the topics she covers in her book include actors headshots,  actors resumes, preparing for the audition, behind the casting directors doors & what a casting director looks for. 

I recently had the opportunity to Q&A with Lisa during a workshop and she is funny, sweet & very generous with her information. I highly recommend you take the time to meet her in person at http://www.samuelfrench.com/bookstore where she is doing a book signing and will take the time for a Q&A.  It's a great chance to ask questions about Disney castings and get some wonderful insight from someone who auditions & cast child and teen actors all the time.

how to save money on your session fee!

A great way to save money on your child's acting headshots is to book either a sibling session or book with a friend!  You can bring up to two other siblings or bring two other kids (friends, cousins etc.) and you will save up to $100 on each child.

A normal headshot session for a child or teen actor ages 5-17 years is $295.  Add one additional actor and the rate is $495 total for both.  You can add a third actor for $100!  Total session fee for 3 kids is $595.

Twice or triple the fun and save a bundle!  To qualify for this rate you must shoot at the same time, same day.

Some lovely images from Silke's recent headshot session.  Love all of the different hairstyles she did for her photo photo session. 

Teen theatrical headshot

Perfect smile for a commercial acting headshot!

This headshot is good for period casting, like a show that takes place in a different era.
