Headshots for Kids – Girls Hair and Makeup

We love love love shooting headshots for kids! When we have a session coming up for a young actress we make sure to prep the parents on what is best for their hair and makeup. Being natural is key, but even that requires a bit of makeup. When your child is on set and working, she will be in full hair and makeup, no matter how natural the character she is playing is. Unless it is a look you are going for, we don’t want your child to look like she is in a beauty pageant as much as we want to feel like she is her natural glowing self. Be sure to bring some hair product and lip gloss along with you. We will make sure she is as ready for the camera as possible so that little touch up or photoshop would be needed. Contact us today!

Booking your session:  headshots for kids

Shooting headshots for kids is honestly our favorite type of session.  Kids don’t over think things and they’ve got a ton of energy.  Just make sure they have a meal before their shoot – not too heavy because they’ll get sleepy afterward, and we don’t want that!  Kids under the age of 12 will often get sleepy at 3 hours of shooting, so we’ll be sure to pack in an amazing shoot within that time.  Contact us today!

tips for childrens headshots

Tips for Childrens headshots

Glasses have become extremely popular – and this is one of our favorite tips for childrens headshots.  One of the biggest challenges is dealing with the reflection and glare created by light reflecting off the lenses.   Most people think that glasses with “Anti Glare” won’t reflect light, but the anti glare coating is actually just for the person WEARING the glasses.  Has nothing to do with preventing reflection.  Trust us….  If you can bring a pair with the lenses popped out, it’ll make your shoot go more smoothly.  Nobody will know!  Many shows on TV with main character that wear glasses actually have the lenses popped out and you just don’t notice it.  (Zooey Deschanel in The New Girl)  If you can’t get glasses with the lenses out, we can always make it work by looking for spots that have indirect light.  It can be a little challenging – but regardless we always get great shots.  For more tips for childrens headshots give us a call!  310.622.5819

The best high school senior portraits los angeles has seen!

Cheesy poses?  No.  Weird shooting locations?  Nah.  Awkward props?  Nope.  Bizare “edgy/fashionable” makeup?  Ew.  Best high school senior portraits Los Angeles has ever seen?  YES.  Don’t be swayed by the dramatic, overly filtered images you find at so many studios.  Those pictures will feel & look soooo out of date and embarrassing by the time you’re in college.  Those photographers that want you to do the Zoolander over the shoulder pose will just have to wait for someone else 🙂

Senior pictures you’ll always love

We know how hard it is to put together your wardrobe for your senior pictures – what to wear?!  A great way to figure it out is to choose 3 categories:  1) Timeless, classic, no print, simple cut…this is for your portrait.  2) Something fresh & fun – flirty, colorful, vivacious – like what you’d see on the cover of Seventeen Magazine.  3) Something with an edge, whether that be vintage, bohemian, or whatever you feel like has that “indie” feel.   Something on TREND will be a fun reminder of what the kids were wearing when you were a teen.

Beautiful Senior Photos

Natural light for senior photos is popular for a reason:  It looks absolutely gorgeous!  Fresh, effortless and timeless is what most people want out of their session because it’s always nice to look back and be proud of your images.  We steer clear of fake and stiff poses, which can feel so glam and fun while you’re shooting, but can make you feel cheesy when looking back on them a year later.  Your shoot should be effortless.

LA headshots kids

Your agent will want some options from headshots kids bring in to show many different styles the actor can play.  Although there are lots of kids on Disney and Nickelodeon who are dressed up to the nine’s with hair and makeup in full Kardashian mode, your agent will still want at least one (if not more) natural looks.  Girls can often play anywhere from 15-19 depending on their hair and makeup and wardrobe, so plan these accordingly to give yourself the broadest range possible as a performer.

Headshots child actors & teens

Once kids enter their teens, getting headshots child actors starts to get a little trickier.  There are more roles for gritty parts that put kids in the kinds of parts that you normally associate with adults.  Death, drug use, violence… things we would like to shield kids from…these casting start to become more prevalent.  Keep this in mind when booking your session and make sure you’re shooting more than just the Disney friendly stuff!
