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.

 This kid headshot sample below 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 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.

I often hear people mention concerns about spending the money for kids headshots.  Getting kids headshots can seem so expensive.  But like any business (and kids acting is a business), you need your tools of the trade.  If you are a chef you will need your own knives even if you work for an employer.  The same goes for child actors.  They need their tools and one of the main tools for a child actor is their kids acting headshots.

With your kids acting headshot you don't want skimp and get the cheapest headshots, but you don't need to necessarily spend $600.  A good kid headshot photographer should be recommended by talent agents and talent managers.  This will speak a lot of their work as talent agents and talent managers want headshots that work and get the talent auditions.  A kids headshot photographer

A kids acting headshot photographer usually specializes in actors headshots.  They know the industry trends and what is needed and wanted from casting directors and talent agents for current scene.  There can be small differences that make or break your kids headshot and a top headshot photographer will know how to capture this.  Spending the money on your kids acting headshots is a worthwhile investment.  Sure, ask about the kids headshot pricing, but don't choose your photographer only for the price.  Ensure they have consistent and good work.  In fact, you should check out their kids headshot website and also view their recent work on instagram or facebook.  No one wants to pay the price of getting so so headshots.  In fact, it is a very expensive way to go if you have to re-do your headshots, that is really paying the price.
