New Actor Headshot Package in Idaho

A Structured, Professional Introduction for First-Time Actors

Entering the acting industry requires more than a good photo. Casting platforms, agencies, and producers expect accurate, consistent, and professionally executed headshots—even at the very beginning.

At Idaho Photography Studios, we created the New Actor Headshot Package for clients who are just starting out but want to do things correctly from day one.

This is not a casual session, a discount option, or a shortcut.
It is a purpose-built introduction aligned with industry expectations.

The New Actor Headshot Package

$595 — New Clients Only

Designed for actors who need one or two strong images for casting submissions, academic programs, or early portfolio development.

This session focuses on producing a clean, professional headshot with optional natural reference imagery often requested by casting directors.

Includes

• 2 Final Images
  • 1 retouched professional color headshot
  • 1 industry-standard casting polaroid (unretouched)
• 1 Wardrobe Look
  • Client-provided
  • Casting-appropriate guidance during the session
• Location-Based Session
  • A clean head-and-shoulders casting headshot against a white backdrop
  • Natural reference image or “casting polaroid” style image
  • Clean, controlled lighting
  • Consistent results across casting platforms
• Guided Direction
  • Expression coaching
  • Subtle posture and presence refinement
  • Emphasis on natural, honest representation

Why This Package Exists

Not every actor needs a full portfolio session.

Some performers simply need one or two professional images that meet casting expectations without committing to a full production package.

This session provides that solution while maintaining the same professional standards used across all Idaho Photography Studios work.

It provides:

• Enough variety to submit confidently
• Enough structure to avoid overproducing
• Enough guidance to avoid costly missteps

Location Based — By Design

This package is intentionally an on-location session.

For actors at the beginning of their career:

• Casting directors prioritize clarity over creativity
• Location sessions provide the best “polaroid” look
• Consistent lighting reads better across platforms
• Neutral environments age better over time

Location-based and cinematic headshots become valuable later, once casting direction and range are established. That level of production is reserved for our advanced actor sessions.

Who This Package Is For

This session is ideal if you are:

• A first-time actor entering casting platforms
• Submitting to agencies for the first time
• Transitioning from school, theater, or training programs
• A parent investing wisely in a young actor’s first professional images

If you already have representation, frequent auditions, or casting feedback guiding your look, one of our higher-tier actor packages will be the better fit.

Important Notes

• Available to new clients only
• One-time introductory package per actor
• Hair & makeup not included (available separately)
• Limited availability to maintain production standards
