Hi Rosalie,
You will find a lot of conflicting information about this subject, but yes, generally speaking color is the way to go today. Traditionally, headshots were shot with black and white film, but currently in the digital age, the industry standard is color. A color headshot reveals your childs exact eye and
hair color, the tone of their skin, and it helps immensely to cut time
in the casting process.Their headshot should be more than a photograph, it should communicate who they are.
Best of luck to you!
