The "Tiny Tot" headshots sessions include three wardrobe changes, full body shots and close up headshots. It's a discounted, ($225), mini session because most young kids and toddlers are not interested in working a couple of hours for a full headshot session. Also, I offer a discount at this age because the kids grow so fast and most likely will need to update their headshots in six months. Typically if they book a job that will more then cover the headshot session fee.
Kids acting headshots by Robin Lorraine Photography |
Remember your kids headshot should always look like them and represent their body type, current hair, weight and features. Typically with very young children their teeth are growing in, their face may thin out or fill in, and in general they will change a great deal in 6 months.
Child Modeling Headshot |
I do like to include some 3/4 or full body shots with young ones because they are often good candidates for child modeling. Talent agents who represent child models like to have in the portfolio some images that show the body type.

Most talent agents will choose 2-6 images for the child actor's headshot portfolio. And my experience is that with young children 2-3 images is what a talent agent will use for their online portfolio. However, if the child is signed with a talent agent who also represents child models, then they typically use more images and will definitely want some full body shots. As you can see by the photos above a casting director would get a good feel for this child's look, body type and her energetic, cheerful personality.
