KIDS HEADSHOTS auditions and bookings!

Kids headshots are key to getting auditions. And auditions lead to bookings! I can't stress enough how important a professional and well done kids headshot is. This child's headshots helped her get many auditions and bookings for modeling and commercials. And the icing on the cake...she recently got an audition and is now filming a feature film. It's not impossible, but it's definitely hard to get auditions without a professional headshot. A fabulous kids headshot...

will open doors. Your kids headshots must stand out, get the attention of a casting director and show them confidence, charm, personality and their look. Your agent will likely use several different images from your kids headshots. So with this in mind you want to ensure you have a variety of different headshots for them to choose from that will show their ability to play different types.

Kids headshots are vital to success in this business. It's something that you should consider...that this is a business. Show business. Of course, it should be a fun activity for your child just like if they were taking ballet or on a baseball team. And if your child is taking ballet, the teacher or coach will expect you and the child to be a professional...on time for classes and performances, wearing the right outfit, respectful of others in class, and buying the tools of the trade which are part and parcel of that activity.

Your child's headshots are one of the tools of the trade and talent agents will expect you to have professional photos. There really is no room for dilattants in this industry, it's much too competitive. If you just want your child to try acting out for a fun activity or to see if they like it, then a 4 week class or a school play might be the way to do this. But once you and your child have decided to pursue acting professionally, and get an agent, then it will behoove you to be a professional and ensure you have great acting headshots. Successful and working actors have headshots. If you want to help your child have a better chance at becoming a successful actor, then make sure to get them professional kids headshots.

Kids Headshot Photographer LA

Kids headshots are not just a picture.  An acting headshot is your childs calling card and a vital marketing tool. Actors can’t survive without a headshot and the headshot must be a strong photo of the actor to get noticed.  A kids headshot is one of the most important tools which is used throughout a child's acting career.  Even young and established celebrities need a great headshot.

A great kids headshot example.

With today’s online casting your kids headshot needs to stand out in a sea of tiny thumbnails. A casting director views your child's itty, bitty headshot next to several other child actors, and some of these may even resemble your young thespian. Casting may look at several hundred kids headshots submitted for the same role in a matter of moments.  A tight, close-up headshot  that pops off the page is imperative if you want your kid to get noticed by casting directors. 

This kids headshot shows beauty and confidence.  

Question:  What makes a great kid headshot?

Answer: It must look like the actor--AND, there must be some sort of great communication coming thru.   This is all done with lighting, composition & the ability of the photographer to pull this communication out with each kid during the headshot session.  To view some recent kids headshot sessions click here: Kids Headshots.  You can also see more headshots for kids on my website under the "actor" tab here: Headshots for kids and teens.  A top kids headshot photographer will be able to capture this communication.

Kids headshots should pop off the page and show great energy.  Casting directors like to know that your child actor is energetic, fun, likeable and not shy.  This child's headshot shows that she is adorable, appealing and likable.  Her smile and twinkle in the eyes says it all.

With kids headshots, it's a good idea to have some shots that show great energy.  These type of children's headshots can be used for commercials and comedy.  I like to use color to project energy along with a great smile in kids headshots.
