and a recent teen headshot photo session.

Working with teen actors is alway fun.  They usually bring a lot of creativity and fun energy to the shoot.

Teen acting headshots.

Most teen actors are pretty serious about their career and have been interested in acting for a long time.   Some are brand new to the game and some are seasoned actors who already have a strong resume under their belt.  One thing I see with most of them is that they already know where they want to go and and are working on their long term goals.

I recently photographed this amazing teen, Daschle Dunn.  Such a blast to work with him and wow, those eyes.  Here's a couple of headshots from his headshot photo session.

Here's a recent commercial that my daughter shot.  She plays the bored teenage daughter who is with her family at a museum, when all of a sudden a one man band comes marching thru.  Filmed on location at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles.

A really fun shoot with a great crew and cast for Hormel Pepperoni.  You can view the commercial here.  Give it a thumbs up or comment if you like it!

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.

How Often Should I Update My Kid's Headshots?

I often have parents asking me when they should update their kids headshots.  Six months, nine months, a year?  Honestly this can vary with young actors.  There are a few things to take into consideration when answering this question.

The MOST important time to update your kids headshots is when they look different.  Have their teeth changed?  Have they grown three inches?  Do they have a different hair cut or hair style?  Has their face filled out?  Do they look like their headshot?  Is their face fuller, older, thinner? Do they have braces now? The basic question you should ask yourself is "Will the casting director meet the exact actor they see in the headshot?"

Kids headshots Los Angeles

Kids go thru growth spurts and change quickly so they have to update their headshots more often then an adult actor.  Adults sometimes wait two to three years between headshot sessions.  But a child actor can change in appearance rapidly, so a kids headshot should be updated more often.  Consider the difference in appearance between the age of ten and thirteen years.    Usually the younger the child the more obvious the changes in their appearance. 

Kids headshots should be updated more often the adult headshots.  Typically a child may need to update their headshot every six months to one year.

Again the younger the actor the more often you need to update the shots.  A baby looks completely different from age 3 months to 9 months.  That's why most talent agents are willing to accept non-professional headshots or photos for babies.  Casting directors want to see what the child looks like right now and know that is who they are bringing in for the acting audition.  If Disney or Nickelodeon casting is seeking a baby to play two years old and your child has headshots from one year ago, they will most likely miss that opportunity to get called in for an audition.  And if they do get called in you will greatly disappoint the casting director!

Kids Headshots Los Angeles

Teenage headshots

Another thing to consider is if the headshot has gone stale or if things have slowed down.  I have observed that my most successful clients do not wait to get an updated headshot.  This includes both celebrity child actors, celebrity teen actors and also the working child actors who stay busy booking commercials and TV roles, but you may not recognize them yet.  When there is a pause in auditions or things have slowed down a little bit, they are on it and updating those headshots.  You have to realize that casting may see the photo day in and day out for months at a time.

Children's Headshots

Remember that children's headshots and actors headshots are a tool...a promotional tool.  We all know about Honda, Nike, State Farm and Geico but they don't stop promoting to us.  Otherwise we slowly forget about them or don't think about them when we are shopping for new insurance or their products.  And if we saw the same commercial for 1 year we would be a little sick of it.  It can be the same in casting TV and commercials.

Child Modeling Photo Session.

I absolutely love it when a client comes to me with a fabulous wardrobe for their kids acting headshots or a child modeling photo session.  Giving a photographer plenty of options is in my book-mandatory.  You don't have to buy a new wardrobe, but it's important to bring a good selection of choices, especially with the tops.

If you only need kids headshots then the bottoms or pants aren't important.  However, if your child is a candidate for kids modeling, then by all means bring some options for the full body shots.  Pants, jeans, khakis, shorts, skirts, boots, leggings are all good clothing choices to bring for a child modeling  session.  You can also bring a hat or some accessories which can be used with the modeling photos.  Your photographer will go thru the clothing and choose which ones they are going to use.

Here is a recent kids headshot and modeling session that I did with an adorable child model and actor.  He recently signed with a top kids modeling agent in Los Angeles and was in need of a portfolio for the talent agent.

The agent was very happy with the photos and chose over 19 images for his child modeling portfolio and for his acting headshots.  The headshots (close ups) will be used for tv, film and commercial roles and the fashion and body shots will be used to promote him for child modeling jobs.

RECENT KIDS HEADSHOT SESSION

These photos are from a recent kids headshot session with an aspiring young actor.  His mom did a great job with the choice of wardrobe she brought to the headshot session.  Clothing colors are bright and the layers work so well together!  When choosing wardrobe for your child's headshots, you should bring plenty of options.  Colors that work well with the skin tones--like the beautiful green Tony is wearing in the smiling commercial headshot at the bottom of the page.  Also, the vest worked well to tone it down and give some modeling looks.  The green sweater has a bit of texture so it photographs well, adding depth to the image.  Such a cutie and he did a fabulous job for his headshot session!  

This headshot can be used for both a Zed Card modeling shot or a headshot additional look.

A perfect commercial acting kids headshot.  Bright colors, texture, nice layers and a winning smile!

A recent photo session with a child model and actress.

A commercial kids headshot. 

I love bright colors on young kids for acting headshots.  This is a classic example of a great kids headshot.  Gorgeous, full smile, smiley eyes, beautiful color for her skin & hair.  The agent chose this as a main commercial headshot and it will also be part of her modeling portfolio.

Here's a sample of a fabulous "theatrical" headshot kids headshot.  Theatrical headshots are for TV & Film castings.  A serious photo like above is used for drama type roles.  This photo also works well for a child model portfolio.

Again bright & lively colors are beautiful on this child model.  Love the contrast with her skin and hair and background.  

Kids Modeling, Los Angeles.

Kids headshot, commercial.

Love her energy in this kids headshot.  Another fabulous commercial headshot for kids.

Commercial child headshot.  

As you can see make up for a kids headshot or child modeling session should be very, very natural.  Little to no make up is best for child models or child actors.  She is not wearing make up.  Many kids have such nice wonderful color in the skin tone & lips, so sometimes no make up is needed.  Typically For Child models and child actors, I like a little bit of clear mascara, lip gloss or Burts Bees Tinted Lip Balms and maybe a very light dusting of mineral based powder.  The one I like is from Mac Cosmetics.

Kids Headshots Samples

Here's a couple of kids headshot samples from recent sessions.  One of these kids got an agent with their new headshots and one is working actor who just needed to update their headshots.  Both of the kids headshots posted are a good example of different looks. With kids and teen headshots I normally shoot different looks.

Headshots Kids and Teens

This kids headshot shows personality.  A kid's headshots should communicate strong energy, personality and be a good representation of the actor.  This young actor  secured talent representation and then booked a Verizon commercial shortly after getting these headshots. 

Sample kids headshot showing strong personality and great energy.

KIDS HEADSHOTS and ACTING RESUMES FOR KIDS

You have a great kids headshot and now you need to add the acting resume.   In this post I will give you basic info about acting resumes for kids and young actors.

Once you have your kids headshot printed you will need to staple a resume to the back.  

Once you have your kids headshots printed you will need to add the resume.  Since kid headshots are printed in size 8x10 and paper is usually 8.5x11 you will need to either trim the paper or you can order 8x10 resume paper from my favorite headshot lab for actors - Argentum photo lab.  They specialize in actors headshot printing but also have other items for actors.  ( I always recommend getting your kids headshot printed at a professional lab.)

Your acting resume should list your name at the top in bold with contact info right below.  You will also state if your belong to one of the acting unions SAG or AFTRA. Then you list acting credits, training and any special skills.  Normally you list in this order: Film credits, TV, theater, training, skills.  For kids with little to no credits you can list commercials until they have stronger credits to show they have set experience.  However, normally you don't list commercials on acting resumes.  You also never list dates or address info.  

Here is a basic format for an actors resume that I found on the web: Acting Resume Sample.  Notice no dates and no address.  You should however add training and any strong skills below the credits.  Training could be dance, voice lessons, acting classes etc.  Skills would be sports, dance, music and anything that your child actor is very good at.  List the training and skills in columns and similar format as the credits.   Casting Directors will often scan the resume quickly and you want your kids resume to be easy to read. 

What if my child has no credits to list on their resume? 

Adorable kids headshot with a child actress.  This kids headshot is used for commercial castings.

Most people or children who are interested in acting will have something they can list until they get stronger credits.  You can start by listing any school, dance or church performances and then when they start working replace those.  It may not be a network show, but it does show your child has or likes to perform.  If you don't have any credits to list you should put skills and any training that would be valuable for an agent or casting director to know about.  If you speak a foreign language list it.   Many child actors start out with a sparse resume and then continue to add credits as they book.  A great acting headshot is going to get your kids noticed and from there they will begin to build their credits.  If your child is very young they may not even have skills yet, but you would still staple a resume which list contact info, hair color etc to the back of the kids headshot.

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.

This kids headshot booked 2 commercials shortly after being posted on her acting profile. 

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. 

Another excellent children's headshot showing great communication!  When photographing kids for headshots I work with the child to ensure that we capture strong communication.  Contact me to set up your kids headshot session.  Visit me on facebook or thru my website Robin Lorraine Photography or call me directly @ (213) 247-5817.
