One of the best things you can do to support a young actor is help them get professional headshots and portraits. These are the photos that will be in front of casting directors. They will determine whether the actor gets the chance to audition for a role.

Casting directors look for different things depending on the role, so it’s important for actors to have a few different expressions in their photos. That way they can easily submit photos for the roles they really want, whether it’s comedy, drama, or action.
Expression and body language are vital in headshots and portraits, so I guide actors throughout their session, based on their desired roles.
Kaitlyn is a talented young actor. She performs in community theatre around New Hampshire – she even played the role of Bella in Beauty and the Beast. She will be attending an acting program at Berkeley this summer, and is beginning to look at colleges.
Kaitlyn’s mother gave her the gift of a headshot and portrait portfolio for her acting, including professional hair and makeup styling. Break a leg, Kaitlyn!
