Teen Acting Headshot Session in Los Angeles

When scheduling a headshot session I like to ensure my clients come very prepared.  I normally send the headshot client wardrobe recommendations, inspiration and recommended colors and character types I feel they can play.  As a previous youth talent manager  for many years, I have a lot of experience knowing what type of acting headshots a casting director  responds to.

Here's an example of a teen actors headshot  session with a very handsome young teenage actor.   We worked out several different types and characters he could play and then shot accordingly with the appropriate expression and wardrobe.  Mom did a great job bringing a wonderful selection of wardrobe choices and the young actor did a great job working with me to get the shots.  Great team work translates into great headshots.

When it comes to shopping for your kids acting headshots session you may want to go to a few different stores and purchase a some items that may not be part of your kids normal wardrobe. I love H&M kids,  and Zara Kids for fun, colorful, textured clothing.  The sweater below is a great example. However, you may have plenty of wardrobe that is suitable already without spending additional money.  I do like parents to bring several different shirts, jackets, sweaters, etc., to give me choices.  And I will always try to save you money and use what you have if possible. Leave the tags on anything you purchase, as I may not use it.  Keep reading below to get more tips on teen acting headshots. 

Los Angeles acting headshot for teens by headshot photographer Robin Lorraine.

 I love the color of the sweater in this kids headshot and the v-neck works really well in the composition.   And the texture is fabulous!  The headshot below shows a completely different character and type in both wardrobe and expression.

Next we have a boy next door, enthusiasm, like-ability and energy in this headshot. The vivid blue has an energetic vibe and pops off the page.  This is a commercial headshot and it's very important that it radiates energy. 

Commercial boy next door or Disney headshot.

Here we have the quirky or character headshot.  Disney channel and Nickelodeon always have characters in their shows, but as well you can see this in commercials like this Verizon spot and Network shows like the Big Bang Theory.

 The headshot below works for the high school popular guy, jock, athlete as well as boy next door roles and or a good looking teenager role.

Creating different looks for your child's headshot session.

 This headshot in the purple t-shirt is great for both Disney and commercials.  It shows wonderful energy and his fabulous smile.  It definitely pops.

Wonderful color that pops in a commercial headshot look.

 And lastly the bad boy, trouble maker, darker, edgier headshot. 

This wouldn't be used for a main headshot, but rather as an additional look for an actors portfolio. 

 
Always keep in mind the colors and what it projects and the collars and necklines and what they project.  Jock or popular high school kid, edgy, quirky, smart kid, boy next door, trouble maker...they are all characters he can play.  With these headshots and the range they show, the talent agent can submit different images for different roles.

Twins.

Two is better then one!  At least that's what Hollywood thinks when it comes to working with very young children.   That's because there are labor laws for children actors and their work hours are restricted.  The younger the child actor, the less they can work.

Child actor headshots, twins.

If a casting director can cast twin babies, twin toddlers or twin four year olds, it will save the company a great deal of time in getting the shots.  And we all know time is money.  While one child actor is on a break or finished working, the other child actor can finish the shots.  This is especially important when it comes to babies and infant actors because they have a very limited amount of time by law that the child can work.  Once a young actor turns 6 years old they can be on set for a longer period, but prior to age 6 the work hours are very, very limited.

Usually when it comes to twin actor headshots I like to take individual photos of each child and then photos of the two together.  This way they can audition for separate roles and also audition for the same part.  Most talent agents like to have a headshot with both child actors together and also individual headshots as well.

Acting headshots for kids.  Twins should have headshots together but also individual headshots.

Beautiful child twin actors Karleigh and Mckenna.  A sibling children's headshot session.

These two beautiful girls are actually twins, even though they look completely different.  When they were babies they worked on the ever popular TV show "General Hospital" in the role of Joselyn Jacks.  Both girls played the same role.

If you have twins and would like to book a kids headshot session, contact Robin Lorraine Photography.  Not only will you have great headshots but you'll also have some beautiful photos of your children.

A Hollywood success story...

A mother called me to inquire about kids headshots and getting her son started as an actor for commercials, modeling and television roles.  Within less then 2 months from that phone call her son is already with a top talent agent and already going out on great auditions!  His headshots are working really well and he is moving forward on his dream as a performer.

Congratulations to this adorable young actor, Isaac on getting a talent agent and all of the recent auditions he's had!

Kids headshots showing skill and personality!

Showing a skill can be very useful with kids headshots.  If casting is seeking a real guitar player the agent could use this shot to promote him for the role.

 Here's to your next booking!

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.

Some photos from a recent session with my lovely  & gorgeous young client.  She wanted a ZED card or composite card so we did both full body and close ups.  What an adorable child!  Such beautiful skin tone and eyes!

This is a beautiful theatrical shot (tv & film roles).  The confidence and direct eye contact really speaks to casting directors.  She still shows likeability.

Loving these bright colors and the very hip wardrobe choices for this child actor and model.  Wonderful layers and great colors that really work well on camera for modeling shots!  Also, the light blue color and the bright red are such a nice contrast against his beautiful skin. These two headshots will be perfect to print for his 8x10 hardcopy headshot.

 Great job mom on bringing such a great selection of clothing to his headshot session!  Such a cutie pie!  These are 4 shots that his talent agent chose for his profile.

Happy auditioning!

wardrobe choices.

Love the choice of clothing that mom brought to this young actors headshot session.  By mixing up the hairstyles and clothing we were able to project "girl next door" and "edgy, urban" looks.  Since she is a dancer we wanted to be able to show an interesting hip hop vibe.  The colors are a beautiful contrast with her gorgeous skin tone.  The agent chose six headshots to use for her actors profile...here are three of them.

Cute kid, girl next door headshot.  Likeable and confident...the perfect ingredients for a child's headshot!

Beautiful colors against her skin tone!  Love the expression in this headshot...such confidence!

Urban and energetic headshot for a hip hop dancer.

beautiful child models!

From a recent kids headshot session.  Am loving his look for modeling!  Although he has a great personality for acting, (especially comedic tv roles), he also has a fabulous look for modeling.  He is perfect for a Ralph Lauren ad or I could see him in a French children's clothing line.  His look is also good for edgy, urban and hip clothing or products.  In any case he's he's handsome and the camera loves him!

A great headshot can open doors--teen headshot session.

Recently wrapped a headshot session with a beautiful, aspiring teen actress.  We did the session, chose the shots she should submit to talent agents and then those images had to be retouched.

Once my re-toucher was done with those I emailed her mom the files.  Within two days her mom emailed me back with exciting news--she had was already contacted by two talent agents and both wanted to bring her in for a meeting!   Her mother said the agent loved her headshots.  And that's how you rock it folks!
