CHILD MODELING PHOTOSHOOT

Child modeling photoshoots are slightly different then an child actor headshot photoshoot. For one, with actors you are mostly concentrating on the face and expressions and or types an actor might play. But with models, casting wants to see your body type. Tall and leggy, petite, athletic? A casting agent may be looking for a specific type to fit the role they are casting. For example if the ad is for Nike, then a child model should be and look a bit more athletic. If the role is for Abercrombie teens, they may want to see longer hair, a big afro, dreads, or just a very hip look. There are modeling jobs for all sorts of products and each one has their own requirements. So with this in mind, a child modeling photoshoot
will include some body shots and or 3/4 shots. A child modeling photoshoot will also include some close ups. The close ups can be headshots but also shots that shows the child models energy and personality.
Unique features such as freckles, tooth gap, beautiful eyes should also be captured. Many times a casting call will ask for "unique features" like this. This might be for a high end or designer clothing brand.
When booking your child model photoshoot
make sure that the child model photographer has excellent experience with kids, posing and models. Take a look at their portfolio, website and instagram so you don't waste money and have to reshoot later. Your child's modeling portfolio is what will get them auditions and even direct bookings off their photos.

KIDS HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHER LOS ANGELES

Image
I am a headshot photographer in Los Angeles and have been specializing in kids headshots for over 10 years. I started taking headshots when my own son began acting. I was already earning an income as a photographer when my son expressed an interest in acting. I put him in an acting class and a short while later, the acting coach recommended he get an agent. I was a bit surprised and wasn't totally sure if he was ready but the coach assured me that my son was a good actor and that we should pursue this because he was interested. I then discovered that the first step to getting an agent is to get your kids headshots. After photographing my own child's headshots, I began getting more request to photograph kids headshots from friends and people in the industry. This began my journey as a kids headshot photographer in Los Angeles .

KIDS HEADSHOTS AND CHILD MODELING PHOTOSHOOT

Image
Here are some examples of kids headshots and child modeling headshots that were taken recently with a young child model and actress. Her session included multiple changes to her hair and wardrobe. We also had a hair and make up artist for the photoshoot. Of course the make up was extremely light since she is so young...just a bit of concealor under the eyes and lipgloss, a little glow on the cheeks. These are just a few images out of hundreds of shots, from her kids headshots and modeling photoshoot. Kids heashots should always be on the natural side, but having a hairstylist is helpful to "polish" the look or to create different hairstyles. This child does both acting and modeling so we incorporated both close up headshots for the acting profile and full body images for her child modeling headshots.
