Here are a few images from a recent
kid's headshot session. After working with her I recommended to the mom that they also get a modeling agent because she is so natural in front of the camera and has a great body type and look for child modeling.

With kids headshots and modeling cards, big natural smiles are
definitely a plus for both modeling and acting. Boredom and angst won't
sell a product unless you are shopping for goth clothing. Casting
directors love to see energy and an upbeat kid with some personality as
this translates well on camera. Shyness won't cut it and of course it's
very important that the child is happy to be there and on their own
determinism, not just the parents. These two photos show her ability to
shine on camera and can be used on her
ZED
card or modeling card. The talent agent will also use them and have
the parent post them to her casting profiles along with some close up
kids headshots.

Typically the model talent agencies will have the parent put 3-5 images on a ZED card. With the modeling portfolio I've seen talent agents choose anywhere from 4-20 images. These are posted online in a private password protected account that the talent agent shares to casting directors.

If your child is interested in modeling or acting, make sure you get some great headshots and body shots for their casting profiles and ZED cards. This will give them a much better chance to get called in for the acting auditions and casting model
"go sees".
