September is the season for headshots as actors of all ages get ready for fall and winter castings. But, first, some of our favorite kid portfolio pictures from the last month.

Lizzie, The Loveliest

We don’t play favorites but, if we did, Lizzie would be at the top of our list. Ever since she moved to Portland from Austin, TX, she’s been a regular in front of our camera. She’s one of the sweetest people we know and SUPER talented.

Lizzie is represented by The Option Agency.

Charleigh, Rhymes With “Sparkleigh”

This little gem sped around Portland’s Pearl District last month to make one of the cutest portfolios of the year.

After she got her pictures, she was signed almost immediately to the wonderful TMM Talent.

Josie, To Cool For School

This is the perfect kids headshot portfolio: a bright and smiley commercial image on the left and an edgier “too cool for school” image on the right. Perfection!

Steph, With Range

We love this collection of acting headshots from our friend and TMM Talent actor Steph Ayako. The edgy black and white image in the middle was something of an afterthought and is one of our favorites.

Brandon, Completely

Brandon wins the award for the most prepared headshot subject in the history of Michael Verity Photography. He came with every outfit perfectly dialed-in and a list of all the looks he wanted to accomplish, which is why we accomplished so many great looks. What’s that they say? “Proper preparation prevents poor performance?”

Hailey, Well, Perfectly

OK, we’ll use the word “perfect” one more time because that’s what this teen headshot collection is: the perfect mix of smiles and serious, commercial and theatrical.
