✴ IVANA ✴

Three different looks, three different sides of Ivana.

The soft pink gives her a youthful, approachable feel. Denim brings out a more relaxed, everyday personality, while the neutral tones and serious expression show a completely different side.

But what really stands out to me is her eyes. There's a confidence and connection that holds your attention, even when she's not smiling.

That's what I look for when photographing young actors. Wardrobe helps suggest the character, but it's the expression that makes casting want to know more.

Beautiful range, Ivana!

✴SERAPHINA✴

Talent is one thing. Work ethic is another.

After working with this young actor for so many years, I notice it right away.

The kids who listen. Who take direction. Who want to try it again. Who stay curious and are willing to work until we get it.

You see it in a headshot session, but I think it says so much about how they approach their craft too.

There is so much that goes into being a young actor. Classes, auditions, self tapes, callbacks and plenty of hearing no.

Talent might get someone's attention, but showing up and doing the work matters.

I have so much respect for these kids.

The yellow backdrop was intentional. 💛

I don’t randomly choose a backdrop because I think the color is pretty.

I’m looking at the whole picture.

What are they wearing?
What’s their coloring?
What kind of energy do they have?
And most importantly, how do I want this image to feel?

Sometimes I want clean and neutral.

Sometimes I want something moodier.

And sometimes, like in this case, I see a kid with this incredible energy and think…

We need COLOR.

Your kid wants to try modeling, now what?

This is one of the biggest questions I get from parents.

And before you spend thousands of dollars building a portfolio or trying to figure out agencies, my advice is simple:

Get them in front of a professional camera first.

Why spend money on a photoshoot if they’ve never modeled before?

Because this is where you find out if they actually LIKE being in front of the camera.

Modeling isn’t just about being photogenic.

Can they take direction?
Can they move naturally?
Can they change their expression?
Can they get comfortable with someone photographing them?
And most importantly… are they having fun doing it?

Your first photoshoot is practice.

I get kids and teens who walk into my studio having absolutely NO idea how to pose.

They’re not supposed to know yet.

Part of my job is teaching them.

Where to put their hands. How to shift their weight. How to move instead of holding a pose. How to find their angles. How to connect through their eyes.

And little by little, they start getting it.

You do NOT need to spend thousands of dollars to find out if modeling is something your child wants to pursue.

Find a photographer who regularly works with kids and teens, understands how to coach beginners and can give them a positive first experience in front of the camera.

Then see what happens.

Maybe they love it.

Maybe they don't.

Or maybe you watch your kid come alive in front of the camera and think…

OK, this is something that feels right.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google Review ~ Korey K 2026

Nothing makes me happier than receiving reviews like this from the families I photograph. I specialize in kids and teen actor headshots on Long Island, and creating an experience where young performers feel comfortable and confident in front of my camera is just as important to me as the final headshots.

From start to finish, the experience with Tracey was just superb. She is incredibly kind and made my two first-time children feel perfectly at ease for their session and the results mirror that comfort. What skill; thank you for these portraits!

✴ MODEL COACHING ✴

I get ​guys and girls who come to me and say…

“I want to model, but I’ve never actually been in front of a camera before.”

I don’t need you to walk in knowing how to model. You just need to be willing to practice, take direction and explore what you can do.

One of the first things I’m doing when I meet you is figuring out how I see you.

Could I see you in beauty?

In a GAP ad?

Walking a runway?

In a Zara campaign?

Maybe there’s something more editorial about you that you haven't even seen in yourself yet.

And that starts guiding how I photograph you.

And here’s the other thing I want new models to know:

Modeling in front of a camera takes practice.

I photograph teens and young adults at the very beginning — sometimes before they even know what to do with their hands, where to look or how to move their body without feeling awkward.

That’s completely normal.

Learning how to move, finding your angles and understanding what translates through the camera is a skill.

Coaching you through that is part of what I do.

We move. We adjust. We try it again. I show you what’s working and help you understand why it’s working.

Little by little, you stop thinking so much about what you're supposed to be doing and start getting comfortable in front of the camera.

You don't need to arrive knowing how to model.

Are you ready?

✴ ALEXANDRA ✴

People probably think I spend most of a headshot session thinking about lighting and camera settings.

What I am really thinking about is your kid.

Are they nervous?

Are they trying too hard?

Are they giving me the smile they think I want?

Do they need more direction?

Or do I need to stop talking and give them a little space?

After photographing people for this many years, I’ve learned that a huge part of my job is simply reading the person standing in front of me.

Because two 12-year-olds can walk into my studio and need completely different things from me.

There’s no formula.

I meet them where they are.

And then we figure it out together.
