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.

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.

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.

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.
