Kids headshots are not just a picture

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.

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.

  Take a look at these kids Headshot samples:

 This kid headshot sample shows sibling actors.   A current trend with commercials is to use real siblings, so talent agents appreciate a headshot with both kids.

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 kid headshot is an example of a great commercial headshot. 

 Kids headshot showing a theatrical look for tv & film.  This kids headshot is a sample of great communication.  Look at the eyes and how powerful the expression is.  The colors work well in this headshot.  Children's headshots can be colorful, as long as the color goes well with the skin tones and hair.

showing personality.

Had a great time photographing this little guy.  So much character and personality.

After working with him for a few minutes and seeing his intelligence and playful personality, I knew I wanted to capture a comedic headshot that shows this.  And of course he owns it!  I love the old soul and confidence that comes thru in this kids headshot. 

Capturing a child's personality is vital in a kids headshot.

A child actors portfolio always has a main commercial headshot that shows energy, like-ability and a big smile.  But if the child has a lot of personality it is important to capture that in the child's headshot as well.

A basic commercial, energetic kids headshot.

child modeling wardrobe ideas.

 If you are familiar with the Instagram site "Fashion Kids", you can see that modern, trendy kids and the latest adult fashion on kids is very popular.  And who doesn't like to look at celebrities and what they're wearing?  It's not just the public that like to see interesting fashion and great photos.  I've observed that modeling talent agents also respond very well to hip, urban looks and fashionable kids.

I like to show some classic looks or typical kids clothing but also ensure we photograph a hip and trendy outfit for a child model photography session.

Zebra stripes look adorable on this little girl and worked very well for this child modeling headshot. And although this shirt is a bit out of the box for a standard kids headshot, it actually works very well with her exotic looks.  As for modeling this image is perfect for a ZED card or model composite card.

This photo grabbed the attention of a top acting and modeling talent agency in Los Angeles.

 If you are thinking about putting your child into modeling you will need a talent or modeling agent.  To get an agent you will need to send in photos of your child.  If you want to sign with a good talent agency, get great photos!  They will get noticed!  This little actress/model did not have an agent before I photographed her, but she was immediately picked up for representation by a top child acting and modeling talent agency as soon as they sent her photos in.  This was one of the photos I recommended to the mom to use for submitting to the talent agent.  And in fact she was called by several talent agents that showed interest after they sent out the photos.  


When putting together looks and wardrobe for your child's modeling photo session,  I recommend you take some time to get inspired before choosing what clothing to bring.  Take a look at the advertising for Zara Kids or the these wonderful, bright color combinations for JCrew Kids.

Colors are always a great choice for modeling photo sessions.

I love to use bright, cheerful or popping colors when photographing child or young teen models.

Color, scarfs and striped leggings work well in modeling portfolios.

Color and texture work so well in this beautiful, young modeling shot. 

Layers always work for a kids fashion or modeling photo.

Think outside the box when choosing clothing for your child's modeling photo session. Mix it up...conservative looks with a bit of music industry vibe.

Scarfs are a great way to add attention to the eyes for a child model.  Use colors that enhance the models look.

Layers, layers, layers are always a good choice for kids modeling wardrobe.

Choose colors that are cheerful, yet work with the child's skin tone.

Fun, colorful and mixing patterns always works for child modeling photos.

Child modeling or kids headshots should show off the kids best features.  In this child's headshot it's all about those amazing eyes.  So do bring some simple clothing to the headshot or photo session. 

Not all of the wardrobe for kids headshots and modeling photos needs to be trendy and high fashion.  In fact, it's important to have many simple kids headshots for the talent agent to choose from that show off the eyes and face of the child actor or model.  I love using texture and color to show off the eyes when photographing child models and or kids headshots. 

Think outside of the box and buy things that you may not normally choose for your kids headshot or modeling photo session.  Suspenders with jeans, colored pants, tweed jacket with a polka dot shirt or even two layers underneath.  This may not be the way your child will normally dress for school, but it works very well for a modeling portfolio or modeling and headshot session.

Child modeling photos and kids headshots usually include some personality shots.  This kids headshot used for modeling is the playful, preppy and smart kid look.  And this look is not only good for a child modeling portfolio but also can be used for a character kids headshot.  

Typically talent agents don't want hands, hats or hoods, but sometimes you break the rules and it works. 

Mixing colors that work well together is a great way to keep it simple, yet vibrant in a child modeling photo.  And if the child model is also an actor, we can take off the scarf and get some great headshots with the jacket alone.

And remember with kids we want to show some energy.  A fun shot that has a big smile is an important photo for the child's modeling portfolio.  You don't  have to spend a lot of money to add some flair.  Supsender or a bow tie, or even a tie for a girl can be a simple way to change the look.

Child modeling photoshoots should always be fun for the kids! 

You can show a conservative look, but do it with flair.  Try looking at some Parisian, preppy models and or fashion and use this for your inspiration.  There is no lack of inspiration on the internet.  Just search fashion, Bambini Vogue or things some  high end clothing lines for kids.  And remember, if you shoot with Robin Lorraine Photography,  I will always provide you with tips and inspiration for the shoot.
