Every kids headshot package includes

A private online gallery the next day. Every frame from the session, with my picks flagged, and you make your selects right in it.
One fully retouched headshot per look. Natural retouching: stray hairs and scratches go, freckles, teeth and the shape of a face stay.
Two versions of every finished file. Full resolution for print, and web-sized for Actors Access, Casting Networks, Backstage and agency profiles.
Commercial and theatrical in one visit. Two or three looks means both kinds of headshot, each on a backdrop chosen for it.
A wardrobe guide with your confirmation. Bring twice as many outfits as looks and we pick together in the studio. Read it now
A parent in the room. Seated to the side with an iPad, watching the headshots come in as they are taken.
Continuous light, no flash. Short sessions with breaks whenever they are needed. Why that matters

Extras and add-ons

Extra finished files, $40 each. Pick them from your gallery whenever you like, even months later.
Rush delivery, 20% of the package price. Finals guaranteed within 48 hours of your selects, for the agency that is waiting. Standard delivery is within five business days, usually sooner.
Digitals. Plain, unretouched agency digitals at the end of any session. Ask when you book.
A tour of the studio. For a nervous or sensory-sensitive kid, a look at the room and the lights a few days ahead, arranged when you book.

Deposit, payment and rescheduling

A $100 deposit holds your date and comes off your balance on the day. It is not refundable, but it moves with you: with at least 48 hours' notice you can move your session as many times as you need, from your booking link or by text. With less notice, a cancellation or a no-show, the deposit is kept. The balance is paid on the day by card. There is no sales tax on sessions or digital files.

Two questions about kids headshot prices

What do kids headshots cost in Los Angeles?

Most kids headshot sessions in Los Angeles run somewhere between $300 and $800 depending on the photographer, the session length and the number of looks. ColorPop Kids starts at $200 for one look and tops out at $400 for three, with the gallery, the picks and one retouched file per look included, because the sessions are short and built for kids rather than adult sessions with a child in the chair.

Are there any other costs?

No. The package price covers the session, the private gallery, my picks and the retouched files. Extra finished files, rush delivery and prints are optional, and there is no sitting fee and no sales tax on sessions or digital files.
