CHILD MODELING HEADSHOTS

Here are some examples from some of my child modeling headshot sessions. Each of these child models has an agent and they have been referred to me by their talent agency for the photoshoot. Some of these child models also act and go out on auditions for commercials, TV and film roles. If you would like to get your child started as a model or actor, reach out to us thru our website. Contact Robin Lorraine Photography for children's headshots and or child modeling photos.  If you're kids have a talent agent I will shoot any of their request or provide you with recommendtions.  If your child does not yet have a modeling or talent agent we will shoot a range of photos which will capture the talent agents eye.

What to wear for a child model photoshoot??

One of the questions that I am often asked as a child model photographer is "What kind of clothing should I bring to a child model photoshoot?"  That's a great question and I thought I could start by sharing some of the dont's.


DON'T'S FOR A CHILD MODEL PHOTOSHOOT:
1.  Don't bring bold clothing with distracting patterns.
2.  Don't bring very baggy and oversized clothing.
3.  Don't bring clothes with company logos.

When choosing clothes for a child model photoshoot, ensure the clothing shows the body type and is not a wild or distracting bold print.  Also, the child model photo should clearly show the body type. 
The reason for a modeling photoshoot is to create a portfolio of images and or a photocard (aka ZED Card, Comp Card).  The portfolio is then sent to casting directors when they post a job seeking child models.  The images in the portfolio need to show the child models face and body type.  They should also clearly show their skin tone, hair color, eye color and any possible interesting traits such as a tooth gap, freckles etc.
You can clearly see his skin tone, eye color and hair color in this child model photo. 
 When you are buying a pair of shoes online you want to know what you are getting.  You may look at 3-5 photos to determine the heal height, the small details and if they are the style or "look" you want.  In a modeling portfolio, busy patterns and bold clothing are distracting and then the photo is about the clothing and not the model.  The casting director wants to have a good idea of what he is getting.

If those same shoes were in a oversize bag, you wouldn't be able to see them well.  With a models portfolio, baggy clothing may hide the child's body type and the casting director may not know if they are a good choice for the shoot.

Also, your photographer doesn't want you to bring clothes with logos to the photoshoot.  Logos, like Nike, GAP, JCREW may be in direct conflict with the product that they are seeking models for.  Adida's will not want to see prospective models wearing a NIKE t-shirt or that famous swish on the side of the shoes.  Bear this in mind when putting the clothing together for your child's model photoshoot and choose clothes that do not have logos.
Choose clothes and shoes that do not have logos for a child model photoshoot. 
In summary, remember that the product an agent is selling is the model, not the clothing they are wearing.  Your child modeling photos are key to getting cast or getting an audition, so be aware of these basic rules when you put the clothes together to bring to a child modeling photoshoot.

In my next post I will go over the "Do's" for a child modeling photoshoot and provide more examples.  In the meantime here is another  example from a child modeling photoshoot and I hope you can use these child model photographer tips.
A great close up photo from a modeling photoshoot will have no logos, no bold patterns or distracting prints and clearly shows the skin tone, hair and eye color.

child modeling wardrobe ideas.

Child models Los Angeles

 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.
