Between frames on a headshot session

Kids have off days. If your child isn't settling in, we stop and rebook at no additional cost.

A pushed child shows it in every frame, and retouching does not fix that.

Before you book

Not every young performer needs professional headshots on day one.

Just signed

Your agency has asked for headshots to put on file.

Auditioning now

The photo on file no longer looks like your child.

Outgrown the last set

They have grown or changed their look since the session.

Several Vancouver agencies accept a clear, recent phone photo for a first submission. What changes is representation. Once an agency signs your child, a current headshot becomes part of the working kit.

Kids change fast. A headshot that was accurate in the spring can be wrong by the fall.

If your agency has its own specs, send them before the session.

Working to an agency deadline?

Last-minute sessions can often be fitted in, sometimes same week. Message me with the date you need the files by and I will tell you straight away whether it is possible.

One outfit tells an agency what your child looks like.
Three tell them what your child can play.

What to wear

Solid colours. Anything busy pulls attention off the face.

I send a wardrobe guide after booking, and for Portfolio we plan the three outfits together.

Works

Distracts

Solid, bright colours photograph well. Checked patterns, stripes and visible logos pull attention away from the face.
