CHILDREN'S PORTFOLIO

Whether you are looking to get your child into modeling, acting or you are just looking for portraits of your children. You have come to the right place. 

We have been creating children’s model portfolios and portraits for over 15 years.

For portraits you don’t need any information except to make sure your child is having fun and to bring the right clothing!  We, do everything we can to try and bring out the best in your child.

Every parent thinks their kid could be a model, and you know what they are right! There are so many different types of child models that any kid that shows interest into modeling has a shot at it. Below is some information on modeling portfolios and headshots.

How do I go about getting my child into modeling or acting?

The first step to getting into modeling is to create a portfolio. A model portfolio consists of several different outfits/looks. For acting you need to create two types of headshots, one commercial headshot and one theatrical headshot. Models will also need headshots. Once you have your professional images back you need to shop them around and submit them onto the agents’ websites. If you see that an agent is hosting a live casting, go to it, personal impressions are always the best! Unfortunately, in person meetings with the agencies are not as popular since the pandemic. This is why we recommend taking advantage when you can.

For actors you can create your profile on all the casting company’s websites, but you also have the freedom to look around and find yourself an agent. Actors have the ability to look beyond the local market. With technology today lots of auditions can be done online.

Why should I have professional photos done?

Modeling and Acting are a profession, and you should take it seriously and professionally. But that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be fun. You should treat this like going on a job interview.  Since you will be working and making money this is a job. You wouldn’t go to a job interview without having a resume.  So, you shouldn’t go to castings, auditions or to the agencies without having professional photos. Put your best foot forward right from the start. You want to make sure that your photos are styled well and shot with great lighting. Taking the photos on your phone is not professional and potential clients can tell that you didn’t take this seriously.  Also, any good and reputable agent will not allow phone photos in their portfolios. On occasion you will have to submit a current photo to add to your portfolio of what you look like at that moment from your phone, but this is only to make sure the professional images still represent how your child looks today. You must keep these photos updated!

If the client cannot see your child clearly, they will pass on them to someone who has a clear photo with great lighting. Productions cost lots of money and clients don’t want to take a chance on any talent that they can’t see clearly.

With professional images your child won’t be overlooked.  As I said before you should put your best foot forward right from the start. It doesn’t mean they will book the gig. Having a professional take your child’s photos is a great first step in getting started into modeling or acting.

Here at Kevin Day Photography, we have been working with the agent’s creating portfolios and headshots for their new and seasoned talent for years. If you don’t have an agent yet no problem, this is your first step!

How often do I need to update for kid’s photos?

So, all that leaves us to how often do I update my kid’s portfolio or acting headshots.  As you know kids change and grow so fast.  The general rule is once a year. Unfortunately, sometimes it is less than a year. Look at the photos and if you see that your child has grown or changed then it is time to update your headshots or portfolio. A new hair style, weight loss or gain are all reasons to update.

What is your approach to working with kids?

My very first client 16 years ago was a child of 5. When I first started working with kids, I had no clue how I was going to connect to them.  Shortly after my first session I learned. I try and connect with them by asking lots of questions about themselves just as I do with the adults.  I also explain what we are going to do during the session.

I try and have an easy outgoing personality and keep the environment light.

Sometimes my dog Millie makes a cameo, especially on weekends. She is always a hit with the kids.

In the realm of arts Kevin is a wizard with his camera. I was extremely nervous, but as soon as I arrived at the studio, He and His crew put at easy. His studio has a peaceful, pleasant and family atmosphere. I can guaranty a 1000% that you will never find someone like Him, competent, friendly , super professional and willing to help every step of the way. It was one of the best experience that I had in my life.

I have know Kevin for 13 years now . I visit Kevin once a month. As a model, and an influencer , Kevin is creative and flexible and does the best job with lighting . As a model you can understand I have shot with so many photographers and I always go back to him because honestly he’s the best. My kids are also actors and models and we go several times a year for updates and his work has helped them get work . We also do our annual family holiday cards and it’s always so much fun.

My daughter Payton and I are small town Vermont girls. I don't venture out often. I have no idea about anything fashion, but my daughter LOVES it. So for Chriatmas I booked a photoshoot with Kevin to work on her modeling portfolio. Super out of both our comfort zones. However, Kevin was super responsive right from the start, made my daughter feel so comfortable, he was personable and easy to talk with. We had a great experiance from start to finish! Thanks Kevin!

Kevin and his team did a truly remarkable job capturing me. I was so impressed with his professional abilities, knowledge of Boston, and making me feel at ease during the shoot.

I can honestly say it’s the first headshot session I’ve done where I love the entire album, so many great choices! Kevin really captured my truthful personality like I hadn’t seen before.The atmosphere is relaxed, fun, and comfortable. You’ll have a genuine big smile in the photos because it’s real emotion!Definitely feel like I just improved my marketability as an actor with these shots.Very grateful to Kevin and his team. Got exactly what I wanted.- Brian (SAG-AFTRA Actor)

Highly recommend!! He took so much time selecting the right outfits and consulting with his hair and make up person to select the right color scheme for headshots. He also took so much care and effort in selecting the right background for the indoor part of the session. The environment was so relaxed and friendly as well. I would definitely, without question, recommend Kevin Day to anyone looking for a photoshoot.

Kevin's talent for photography is so exceptional, I'm a repeat customer! He has a killer work ethic, a great eye for detail, and is so personable and warm...you feel comfortable immediately upon walking into his studio. He travels, rearranges his studio, has great taste in music...it's a phenomenal experience working with him, and I highly recommend! His finished product is amazing...he just takes incredible photos!
