&#8211; some makes sense, and some is just silly.\u00a0 The main piece of advice I hear is &#8220;wear bright colors&#8221;.\u00a0 Hmmmmm&#8230;..it&#8217;s true, colors photograph really nicely &#8211; but, there are a lot of ways to mess up your shoot by just following that advice blindly.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve found the best way to approach the question of wardrobe is to think of what kinds of roles you&#8217;re going to go out for.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s take\u00a0 <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brandinphotography.com\">kids headshots<\/a><\/strong> for example:\u00a0 There are 5 or 6\u00a0<em>main<\/em> &#8220;types&#8221; that a girl 8-15 years old would play&#8230;.\u00a0 ((there are lots others, but let&#8217;s look at some mainstays))<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rough &amp; Tumble Nickelodeon Kid<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;Good&#8221; Kid<\/li>\n<li>All American &amp; Sporty<\/li>\n<li>Super Girly Disney Kid<\/li>\n<li>Old Fashioned \/ Period Drama<\/li>\n<li>Edgy Attitude<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For Nickelodeon Kid<\/span>, we&#8217;re thinking &#8220;Prankster&#8221;, mischievous, rough &amp; tumble 100% KID.\u00a0 Sure, color works for this, but WHAT color works best?\u00a0 In my opinion, Bright Green, Bright Orange, Red, Royal Blue are all great colors for this look.\u00a0 If we went with Pink or Yellow, it might read a little softer, or a little girlier, which would detract from the story of the picture.\u00a0 We want the image to scream:\u00a0 I AM KID, HEAR ME ROAR!!!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For The Good Kid<\/span>, we&#8217;re thinking &#8220;Class President&#8221;, Teacher&#8217;s Pet, Straight A student &#8211; so, go a little preppier, with a hint of nerdy.\u00a0 Clothing could almost feel like a mini office professional.\u00a0 A polo shirt for boys &#8211; a tank top &amp; cardigan for girls.\u00a0 Obviously, you&#8217;d steer clear of &#8220;unprofessional&#8221; looking colors like bright orange, lime green &amp; vivid turquoise.\u00a0 Royal blue, Dark(ish) Purple, Red, Sage Green, and even black can work great for this one.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For the Sporty Kid<\/span>, layers always work well.\u00a0 A Gray Tee with Navy Zip Hoodie looks really sporty.\u00a0 Almost like a version of something they&#8217;d wear as a warm up if they were on a sports team.\u00a0 Kelly Green Hoodie Jacket with yellow tee underneath,,,,,, even just a basic red Tee with V-neck would work great.\u00a0 Just go with colors that feel like a sports team &amp; keep the clothing something that looks like they could play in it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For Super Girly<\/span> we&#8217;re picturing the 11 year old girl who does nothing by giggle.\u00a0 No matter what, she&#8217;s in fits of laughter &amp; LOVES pink.\u00a0 Great girly colors are Pink, Bright Turquoise, Bright Yellow, Peach, Baby Blue &amp; of course purple.\u00a0 The top can be as simple as a Tee, or as girly as a ruffled strap tank top.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For Period Drama \/ Theatrical<\/span>, we&#8217;re usually going for soulful, so a color that matches the kid&#8217;s eyes exactly is always amazing.\u00a0 Black &amp; jewel tones, like ruby, emerald green &amp; sapphire blue work really nice too.\u00a0 Most importantly, avoid &#8220;trendy&#8221; &#8211; these should be super classic.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For Edgy \/ Attitude<\/span> we&#8217;re mostly going to be dealing with girls 12 years to 17 years.\u00a0 We usually go with more of a Disney version of &#8220;Edgy&#8221; for most kids &#8230;.a little black eyeliner, but nothing crazy.\u00a0 Colors that work great are Black mixed w\/ any &#8220;hot&#8221; color, like bright pink, purple, aqua, yellow&#8230;..\u00a0\u00a0 OR, you can take it more theatrical &amp; realistic or urban using mostly grays &amp; blacks with texture &amp; layers &#8211; nothing too &#8220;new&#8221; looking for kids who play grittier characters.\u00a0 That&#8217;s not the norm, but there are always those actors who play dark characters from a young age, like Jodie Foster &amp; Nikki Reed.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d love to hear your thoughts on anything we&#8217;ve missed &#8211; <strong>kids headshots<\/strong> are ever changing, so drop us a line!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
