FAQs
What kind of photos do agencies want?
1
Clean and natural. Casting needs to recognize your child immediately and imagine them in real situations, so we avoid heavy styling and keep looks age-appropriate. Usually a small range of simple looks works best.
How many outfits should we bring?
2
Typically 2–3. After booking I’ll help you narrow it down so you’re not guessing or overpacking.
My child is shy — is that a problem?
3
Almost every parent says this beforehand. Once we start interacting it usually fades pretty quickly. The session isn’t about posing — it’s about getting natural reactions.
Studio is the best starting point for most kids because agents can use it everywhere. Outdoor/lifestyle is helpful once they’re comfortable or need more range. If unsure, book studio and we can adjust.

Studio or outdoor?
We’ve never done this before - is that ok?
5
Totally normal. Most families I photograph are just starting and I’ll guide you through it.
6
WHEN DO WE GET THE PHOTOS?
You’ll get your selects quickly so agents can start submitting right away - typically turnaround is about a week.
