Stand-Out Headshots That Show the Real You
BARNSLEY | SOUTH YORKSHIRE
Natural & Professional Children’s Headshot Photography in Barnsley
Looking for relaxed, high-quality headshots for your child in Barnsley? My sessions are designed to bring out your child’s unique personality while delivering polished, professional images that meet industry expectations.
Children change so quickly, and headshots are a fantastic way to capture how they look right now — especially if they’re updating their Spotlight or Tagmin profile.
My headshot sessions are calm, child-led, and completely tailored to your child. I focus on genuine expressions, clean backgrounds, and simple, timeless styling that keeps the attention on them.
All sessions take place at my cosy home studio in Manvers, a short drive from Barnsley, and are suitable for children aged 4 and up. Whether your child is new to the industry or a seasoned performer, I’ll make sure they feel confident, comfortable, and seen throughout.
As a licensed chaperone with an Enhanced DBS check — and a parent of children already working in the industry — I know what’s required and how to create a safe, positive space for your child to shine.
If you're in or around Barnsley and looking for a friendly, experienced children’s headshot photographer, I’d love to hear from you.

WHEN DO YOU NEED A NEW HEADSHOT?
Your headshot should reflect what you look like now. If you've had a new hair cut and look significantly different, then you should probably think about a new headshot.
It is also a good idea for younger actors to have them updated more regular, as their faces will change so much more with age. Some agencies will let you know how often they would like your child's photos updated.

WHAT DO MY CHILDREN WEAR?
Choosing the right clothing for your child’s headshot session is important to ensure the focus stays on them and their personality shines through.
Here are some simple tips to help you prepare:
-
Bring a choice of outfits. It’s always better to bring more than you think you’ll need. This gives us flexibility on the day, and allows us to capture different looks and character types.
-
Think about casting. Consider the types of roles or characters your child is most likely to be put forward for — whether that’s modern, commercial, or period pieces — and choose outfits that could help reflect that.
-
Keep it plain and simple. Solid colours and plain clothing work best. Avoid busy patterns, stripes, large logos, brand icons, or anything overly distracting.
-
Contemporary or period-style is fine. From everyday modern wear to more traditional or vintage-inspired pieces — as long as it's clean, simple, and suits your child’s look, it works.
Ultimately, the goal is to let your child’s personality and expression take centre stage. If you’re unsure, feel free to bring a few options — I’m happy to help choose what works best once you arrive.
HOW LONG DOES THE SESSION TAKE?
Most headshot sessions last around 30 to 45 minutes. I keep things relaxed and child-led, with plenty of time for outfit changes and breaks if needed. The aim is to create a calm, enjoyable experience where your child feels confident and at ease in front of the camera — no pressure, just natural expressions and great results.
