Kids' portraits in Atlanta
Portraits that look like your child on a good day.
For young actors, models and performers. Relaxed sessions with gentle coaching, and clean, crisp images ready to send to agents and casting directors.
The session
No stiff poses and no forced smiles
I keep the session unhurried and easy, so your son or daughter can relax, try a few expressions and enjoy the process.
Their music on the speaker
Before we start, I ask what your child's favorite music is and put it on, so the session feels easy from the first frame.
Coaching along the way
Simple direction on expression and posture, moving from an easy smile to something more thoughtful, at a pace that suits your child.
Looks agents ask for
Room for a bright commercial look and a more serious theatrical look, on clean backdrops that let your child's face do the work.

Good to know
Before you come in
Where
Studio 217, 1200 Foster Street NW, Suite S217, Atlanta, GA 30318. It is a private studio, so the only people in the room are the ones you bring. Parking at the building is paid.
What to wear
Solid colors that fit well and that your child feels comfortable in. Skip large logos and busy patterns. Bring one outfit for each look in your package, plus a spare, and we can choose together at the studio.
Expression coaching
Simple direction during the shoot that helps a child move between expressions. Longer sessions leave more time to explore a wider range.
On location
If you would rather shoot outdoors or somewhere that feels like your child, I can bring the session to a location around Atlanta. Send me a note with what you have in mind and I will put together the details.
Your photographer
Larry Young
I spent a decade as a dolly grip and then moved into camera operating, so I know how a set runs and what it takes to make a clean, well-lit frame. My goal in the studio is a smooth, comfortable session where your child feels free to be themselves.
My work has run in Essence, and I have worked on Selma, The Color Purple and Being Mary Jane, along with productions for Fox, Hulu, CBS and ABC.
