Talent agents and talent managers often send me clients for new headshots and will ask for certain looks or types. They want the kids headshots to show a range of looks or types that the talent could realistically play. What they don't want is over the top wardrobe, or costumes in the headshot photos. But what they do want are expressions, hair styles and clothing that will suggest that "type".
So when a
client books a kids headshot session or a teen headshot session, I like to give them tips on what to bring and will send them ideas, photos and recommendations.
With this young aspiring actress I felt she could play several different types, so I worked with her and her mom to pull out these different looks and types during her headshot session. Mom brought a great wardrobe and followed my recommendations that I sent her before the shoot.
The headshots turned out fabulous and we ended up showing nice range of character or type. We also pulled out the very important element of a headshot which is confidence, and emotive and expressive eyes. Here are a few shots from the headshot session.
The first look is just a simple kids headshot showing her normal look and normal hair. The second images is a simple kids headshot, but also showing confidence and very emotive and expressive eyes.
Below a simple kids headshot which shows confidence, and very emotive and expressive eyes.

In the next kids headshot she is showing a fun kid expression...pretty over the top, but it perfectly communicates how kids or young teens can be so expressive and excited. The headshot also reflects the character or type. In this kids headshot she is showing a "quirky or nerdy" eager type character.

The above kids headshot is very Disney or great for the actors commercial profile. This would not be the main headshot, but would be an additional look. In the headshot below we also have an additional look which shows a completely different type. This headshots shows the more angsty, young teen or a more rebellious spirit.
So when you are ready to book your kids next headshot session, think about the different types they can play and then call me or email me to go over what wardrobe could communicate this.
