What you should know about creating your Photography Portfolio: Infants, Toddlers, Children, Teens, Adults, Seniors.
Photography of Infants and Toddlers for Modeling:
Children grow and change very quickly from birth through age 4. Most agencies don't require professional photographs---very often they will accept a few good snapshots of your child. Agencies want to see your child photographed in natural settings, with natural light. They do not want controlled lighting or "studio" shots of young children. However, if you're serious about having your child enter the field of modeling, you will want to hire a professional photographer to take "on-location" high quality, attractive, candid photographs that bring out the best qualities and personality of your child. DazzleMe Photography is the photographer of choice for parents who want professional quality at reasonable rates and a Satisfaction Guarantee.
We also point you in the right direction to legitimate agencies for submitting your child's photographs and model comp sheets for potential modeling assignments.
We can come to your home, or meet you at the local park, children's playground, indoor mall, or other appropriate venue to take beautiful natural light candid photographs of your child. Besides the fact that this is what agents are looking for, children are more relaxed and happy in their own home environment or in a park or other setting where they feel comfortable. Photographs consist of head shots and body shots in appropriate outfits. We suggest you plan several outfit changes and props the day of your child's photo shoot. We will suggest what to bring.
We know how to capture your child's best images, and prepare them for submission to agents. Photographs of infants and should be taken and submitted every 6 months as your child is growing. Working closely with a professional photographer such as DazzleMe Photography, allows the photographer to get to know your child, and will help to develop a consistent quality of photographs of your child over time and will work with you as you develop your child's career.
