KIDS HEADSHOTS IN TORONTO | KAILA

KIDS HEADSHOTS IN TORONTO | KAILA

I first met Kaila’s mom, Mary, when our kid’s did a Macdonld’s commercial together. The kids had so much fun together on set, we kept in contact. When Mary was looking for kids Headshots in Toronto, said she knew just who to call.  Kaila is Represented by Kamera Talent in Toronto, and we had so much fun together creating some new looks for her fresh new start.

During the session, Kaila was a lot of fun, sometimes kids just know things, almost as if they know what you’re thinking, telepathically. At least that’s how it felt. That, or she was born for this. I always tell my client kiddos, every time you hear two clicks on the camera, change it up. Change your look, your smile, your hand placement, or whatever it may be. Just go with it and have fun. If the kids don’t know what to do next, I’m happy to jump in and direct them, but for the most part, we just let kids be kids and go with it.

DIFFERENT LOOKS ARE NEEDED

It’s important to capture different looks as well. One for commercials, this is usually a great big smile or smirk. Both closed and open mouth smiles. The other look is for tv and film submissions, your Agent will use these shots to submit for roles to land you an audition. We do both lighter and darker images for these with a ton of variation of expressions. I direct more with these images more than the commercial looks. We try to aim for a leather jacket look for the t/v film series of shots, like the one below.

Being in the Acting Industry, kids are usually outgoing, and want to be in front of the camera. This surely rang true for Kaila. Sometimes this can differ from portrait photography or family photography if the kids aren’t used to having their photos taken. The important part is to make kids feel at ease, and nothing is ever too silly, or  not correct. Kids are encouraged to just be themselves, and that’s when the magic happens.

WARDROBE INCLUDED

Kaila is borrowing some items from the studio wardrobe for her session, complimentary of course! Your Headshot package includes a wardrobe consultation, and we discuss what you’ll be wearing and the looks we want to achieve.  I also send my clients a what to wear guide to make it easy and ensure the focus stays on your child while looking their best.

I work with a few Agents in the GTA, please ask your Agent if they are on my preferred Agent’s list, for a booking bonus!  If they aren’t ask them to get in touch and I can add them to the list!
