Where will we shoot?
I travel to these locations-
Headshots in Bronxville- NY, Chester- NY,
Wyckoff- NJ, Bucks County- PA & Branford- CT.
I've found that New York agents and managers
have come to love and prefer natural daylight shots,
so I started doing more and more location shoots,
- like we did back in LA.
I have many favorite locations in and around
New York City, Westchester, NJ., CT., and PA.
I find that the kids are more relaxed
and get a natural, un-posed shot with daylight.
I like using the wide range
of outdoor backdrops, and scenery
so that every headshot can be unique.
Studio lights are always available
and even preferred for certain shoots-
like some model portfolio shots,
corporate headshots,
family portraits, and pet portraits,
and shooting with small children and babies.
Ask your agent/ manager which they prefer.
How much will this cost?
Please contact me for current prices.
Private shoots are available
- at your location or mine.
I offer Share-a-shoot with a friend rates & group-day rates, for parents that want/need to save money.
I am always glad to do lite make-up and hair for kids and teens.
A Make-up artist is available at an additional cost.
A clothing stylist also.
Printing costs run about one dollar per headshot.
Most submissions are done via the web,
so you only need to print multiple copies of one 8x10 headshot.
We will also supply you
with web files of your finished headshots.
You may also want several others for web viewing.
Finished files can be used for web-submissions
and also on your child's casting web pages.
Black & White or Color?
Most clients are printing color 8x10 reproductions.
Digital files are color, but the finished product
can also be saved as a B/W file
-used for Playbill entries, publicity photos, and press.
Here are the black and white and color versions
of Heather's 2008 shot.

Every agent has specific requests-
what they do and do not like.
Certain hair-dos, preferred poses...
Look at the choices my clients made.
The clothes should not take away from the face.
It is very important that they fit well,
especially around the neck area,
Have your child try them on
and look in the mirror!
Make sure they are steamed/ironed and in good condition.
Stay away from LOGOs. Keep it simple.
Logos can usually be removed in retouching.
For color shots-
pick colors that compliment your child.
I will help you with light make-up and hair,
and give you suggestions about clothing.
If you are doing modeling shots,
I will have my stylist available, for an additional charge.

that is also a choice.
I am experienced in all types of lighting,
and I find that right now,
most agents prefer natural daylight.
