Headshots<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A headshot is a closely cropped portrait (typically head-and-shoulders) photo used as a performer&#8217;s primary calling card to secure auditions. It\u2019s usually the first thing casting directors look at on Spotlight profiles and allows them to understand your little performer\u2019s current look, personality and casting type. Because babies and toddlers change so quickly, it\u2019s worth changing your child&#8217;s headshot frequently so casting directors can see who your little one is today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tips for how often to change your child&#8217;s headshots:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Monthly for Babies:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> We know parents and caregivers are busy people so it might be worth setting a recurring calendar reminder to remind you to swap out headshots.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Quarterly for Toddlers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Update at least every three months.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The Date Stamp:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Always include the month and year in the photo description (e.g. &#8216;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taken January 2026&#8242;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) so casting directors know it\u2019s current.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Tips for Baby Headshots:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Casting directors want to see a natural look so don\u2019t worry about fancy outfits or overly staged photos when you\u2019re taking your baby\u2019s picture at home. Here are some tips for capturing an ideal headshot for your baby\u2019s Spotlight profile:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Avoid Accessories:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Don\u2019t obscure your little one\u2019s face with large hair bows, hats, sunglasses. Also try to keep outfits simple and neutral.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Clean Faces:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ensure there are no stray crumbs or milk stains on your child\u2019s face <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">natural is best!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Eye Contact:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want your baby\u2019s face to be visible so try<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to catch them looking toward the camera in soft, natural light (e.g. near a window).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Solo performance: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your baby should be the focus of a headshot so avoid including siblings or your own hands in the shot.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-replace hoverZoomLink\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Baby-headshots-dos-and-donts.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_{width},c_limit\/https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Baby-headshots-dos-and-donts.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2. Personality Over Performance<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u2018About Me\u2019 section of the Spotlight profile is your chance to make your little one\u2019s spirit shine. It\u2019s the perfect spot to list physical milestones, their personality traits or even their first words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information to consider including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Milestones:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Are they cruising along furniture or a confident walker?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vibe:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Use words like &#8220;full of giggles,&#8221; &#8220;curious explorers,&#8221; or &#8220;gentle and calm&#8221;<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to describe your little one\u2019s personality.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Keep it Short:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A few bullet points about their temperament are more effective than a long biography.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Videos<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a traditional showreel isn&#8217;t necessary, short clips of your child interacting naturally or moving (crawling\/walking) are incredibly helpful for casting directors to see their proportions and energy. If a casting director asks for a video, focus on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Movement:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A 15-second clip of them playing, crawling, or walking.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Interaction:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A video of them reacting to a song or a peek-a-boo game to show their engagement levels.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your child\u2019s agent is there to guide you so be sure to run any changes past them so they can offer their expertise. You can also make use of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theaypa.co.uk\/parents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agents of Young Performers Association (AYPA)\u2019s website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which has lots of useful advice for parents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We look forward to supporting your family as you take these first steps into the spotlight.
