Headshots for Kids<\/h1>\n

When I first started shooting child actor headshots<\/a> I was so nervous.\u00a0 In my mind, taking pictures of kids would be WAY harder than shooting headshots for adults.\u00a0 I imagined not being able to communicate with the kid…not being able to effectively give direction.\u00a0 Terrified, I dreamed up every possible way the shoots could go wrong.\u00a0 Thankfully, I couldn’t have been more mistaken.\u00a0 Shooting headshots for kids<\/a> <\/strong>is SO MUCH FUN.\u00a0 Children don’t have the same hang-ups that we do as adults.\u00a0 They’re not as self-conscious yet & that’s a really good thing for a photographer.\u00a0 The best subject is a present subject – someone who’d just being themselves & not worried about their nose looking too big or if their smile is too gummy.\u00a0 Kids just lay it all out there & I just have to be fast enough to catch it.\u00a0 The actor above came to me from a pretty big & well known commercial agency, so I knew they’d appreciate some variety.\u00a0 Natalie has a great look for camera, since she can sort of morph into so many character types within an instant.\u00a0 Also, she’s got long vibrant red hair with piercing blue eyes, so I knew we could utilize those features to help us create several options for her reps.<\/p>\n

Long Hair Tricks for Headshots<\/h3>\n

When you have long hair to work with, remember that you have SO many options at your disposal.\u00a0 Notice above, the pics with straight hair tucked behind the ears….immediate “Good Kid \/ Teachers Pet”\u00a0 So simple!\u00a0 Then take a look at the green top images – the surfer girl waves give her that “All-American Kid” look that’s so so popular.\u00a0 For the blue crushed velvet top, we started with fresh curls & pulled them forward on one side to show off all of her thick amazing hair – these felt very “Period Piece” to me & obviously Natalie would be amazing cast in one of those “Sense & Sensibility” type roles \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 For the shots in the turquoise tee we loosened up the curls to give her a totally girly “Disney” look.\u00a0 For the black tank top, we brushed our fingers through the curls to make a more relaxed casual look & get a perfect serious “Theatrical” kids headshot<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
