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.

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.
