<p>As for amature vs. professional headshots, it really doesn’t matter as long as they’re well done. You’ll probably get better shots if you pay $300 for a shooting session with a pro than if you paid a photography student $20, but the money you save is very nice.</p>
<p>As long as your look doesn’t change much, you should be fine with the older headshot. I, for instance, at my first 2 auditions I had to use a headshot taken of me in the middle of my Freshmen year of high school, so it’s over 2 years old. I haven’t changed much (I have a lot more hair now than I did then), so I used it. Now I just got my senior photos done and we ordered 2 headshots and I’m using one of those. Just as long as you look vaguely similar</p>
