Kids Headshots in Michigan Kids are great.  It’s a wonderful change of pace at the studio.  I had two young sisters (about seven and nine) today and it was interesting to watch the younger sister study the older.  The girls were having a great day, having their hair done then going to lunch with mom.

Children’s Headshots

August 17, 2010

Childrens Headshots in Michigan I had a phone call last week from a potential client asking  if I photographed children…hummm.  It made me take a look at my website with a critical eye towards children.  I only had one image of a child.  I can definitely see why she asked.

Todays post is in response to Aurora V Photography inquiring about how I test with models. She mentioned there is not much online, but I do know it’s a hotly debated topic on Model Mayhem. For anyone who cares; I pick out all the images myself, I don’t offer the models choices.  I fully retouch […]
