INDUSTRY-STANDARD HEADSHOTS FOR YOUNG TALENT & PERFORMERS

Professional headshots for child actors, models, and young talent. Capture industry-standard, natural-light style imagery for Spotlight, fashion, and talent agencies in a relaxed studio environment. Get the high-end London look without the London stress.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE EVERYTHING

For young talent, a professional headshot is their calling card for the industry. Whether they are auditioning for a West End show, a television commercial, or a national modeling campaign, a strong, authentic set of headshots is essential.

 

With over 20 years of experience, we understand how to work with young performers to bring out their natural personality. We provide a calm, guided experience—coaching them through the session to ensure they feel confident and look their absolute best for casting directors and agencies.

YOUR CHILD'S SESSION: A CALM & CREATIVE ENVIRONMENT

Whether you’ve booked a headshot session for a child actor, a dancer, or young talent, our priority is creating a space where they can feel truly themselves. We understand that for young performers, being in a professional studio can sometimes feel overwhelming, so we keep our sessions calm, patient, and entirely pressure-free.

Expertly guided by a photographer with over 20 years of experience, we focus on authentic character over forced poses. Throughout the session, we’ll explore a variety of looks and expressions to capture their full range, ensuring the final images are exactly what agents and casting directors are looking for.

KIDs’ HEADSHOTS FAQ

Kids’ HEADSHOTS FAQ

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE FOR A SESSION?

We specialise in headshots for children aged 8 and over. At this age, young performers are usually able to take direction well and feel more comfortable in a studio environment. If you have a child slightly younger with professional experience, please get in touch to discuss their requirements.

DO I NEED TO STAY WITH MY CHILD DURING THE SHOOT?

Absolutely. We require a parent or legal guardian to be present in the studio throughout the entire session. Our studio is a calm, safe environment, and we find that having a familiar face nearby helps young talent feel more relaxed and confident in front of the lens.

ARE THESE HEADSHOTS SUITABLE FOR SPOTLIGHT?

Yes. We are experts in industry requirements. All our headshots are shot and edited to meet the specific standards required by Spotlight, as well as major UK acting and modeling agencies. We focus on natural light, authentic expressions, and “clean” edits that show your child’s true casting potential.

MY CHILD IS A LITTLE NERVOUS!

This is completely normal! Many young performers feel a bit of “camera-shyness” initially. Our photographers have over 20 years of experience and are experts at creating a low-pressure, calm atmosphere. We don’t rush; we take the time to let your child settle in so their natural personality can shine through.

WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR TO THE SESSION?

Once you’re booked, we’ll send you a guide on what to bring. We usually suggest bringing a variety of simple, solid-coloured tops (avoiding heavy patterns or large logos) so the focus remains entirely on their face. We’ll look through the outfits together at the start of the session to pick the ones that work best with our backdrops.

WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE THE HEADSHOTS?

You will receive a digital contact sheet of all the images on the same day as the shoot. Once you and your child (or their agent) have selected your favourites for retouching, please allow two working days for the final, high-resolution images to be delivered.

WHERE IS YOUR STUDIO?

Our studio is located in Raunds, Northamptonshire- we’re a few minutes down the road from Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre. The studio is at the Enterprise Centre and when you drive in, we’re on the right hand side at unit number 80. There’s plenty of parking. 

HOW MUCH DO KIDS' HEADSHOTS COST?

Our kids’ headshot packages start from just £150+VAT. All of our packages include a certain amount of retouched images, and you have the option to purchase additional retouches at £20+vat per image.

TESTIMONIALS

Visited Headshot company today for updated headshots for my 2 children, James was brilliant, he made both my children feel at ease throughout the shoot, I would highly recommend, images look amazing with so many different options too choose from, thank you Donna and James for a great experience!

Melissa F

I took my daughter for headshots with James and couldn’t be happier! He was so friendly and made her feel completely at ease from the start. The whole session was relaxed, and the photos are exactly what we were hoping for – natural, professional, and really capture her. Highly recommend James for anyone looking for great headshots and a lovely experience!
Beth J

My daughter had such a fantastic time and the head shots (arriving within 2 hours) that James captured are sensational. Our daughter, 13, felt relaxed and comfortable throughout and it was lovely to see her enjoying the experience. Would thoroughly recommend James and the Headshot Company team.

Craig I

This was a fabulous experience from start to finish. Organising the shoot for my daughter and I for headshots with Donna was easy and she was super helpful. On the day, James was professional and the mood was easy to be ourselves. He has tons of expertise technically and also personally. He makes it impossible to take a bad photo.
