As a Detroit acting headshots photographer, I have been able to work with some of the best acting talent in Detroit and the surrounding metropolitan area. Over the years, one of the most important things to I’ve learned with actors and models is to never judge the amount of talent by the size of the package. This is absolutely essential when working with a teen actor.

I’ve had the opportunity to do photo sessions with Kayden for a long, long time. I included a couple of my favorites from over years to the right. In looking through the archives, it’s hard to believe the last “real” headshot I did for her was almost 5 years ago! Since then, she has made a name for herself in the midwest film circles and has been cast in several TV pilots, short films as well as feature films.

I have been working on a series of “character” headshots for theatre and stage actors. They are completely unstaged and 100% goofy, fun and genuine. Since Kayden had her start in theatre, she was a natural for it. We were able to capture a number great headshots along with a ton of goofy shots that, while she may never submit them to a casting director, really show her personality. I posted a couple of my favorites from her session below so she can share them right away with friends and family. Which one is your favorite? Please be sure to leave a comment below to let her know!

Detroit Photographer - Child Model Head Shot — 5 Years Ago

There are a lot of items that work together to make a great teen acting head shot. Here are my Top 3 Tips to consider based on our experience in providing professional teen actor head shots:

MAINSTREAM – Your look should be considered mainstream to help ensure it appeals to as many people as possible.
PROFESSIONAL – You are a professional and your headshot must match suit. There can’t be anything amateurish about it.
STYLE – Your overall look should be properly styled. This is not the time to bring your favorite look from a decade ago.

The formula is simple: MAINSTREAM + PROFESSIONAL + STYLE = GREAT HEADSHOT! It really is as simple as that! But, you may find that it is not that easy to put together the best pieces into a cohesive look.
