Headshots

Hi! I am an actor who loves actors and has been a photographer for 7 years.

I started photography when I won Youtube contest and they gave the winners money for new equipment. Suddenly I had this new amazing camera that I wanted in my hands ALL the time. I took pictures of the things I saw outside my window every morning as well as every family get together. Soon after my actor friends noticed how good I'd gotten and asked me to take their headshots. That's when I fell in love with shooting headshots! I get to meet the most amazing people, get to know who they really are and then have a great time with them capturing that amazing personality on camera.  

To see what a session with me is like, click here.

We'll have a consultation phone call where we talk about photos and acting, really get to know each other. As I'm sure we all know, photos taken when you're nervous are guaranteed to be horrible. lol. So let's chat, and then take some amazing photos that tell the world who you really are. 
​
​See you soon!!

 I will send you the retouched photos for your approval. If you are unhappy with the result, I will retouch them again to guarantee you are happy with your shots.

We can make an appointment in which we can walk around and do outside shots, weather permitting, or we can shoot in my studio. Either way, you will leave with a lot of great headshots or profile shots to choose from. 

After our session, I will email you all of your pictures (except of course any where you were blinking or anything like that), at which point you can choose photos that you would like me to retouch. Retouches are included in your package. Additional retouched photos are $25 each. 

You will have access to a make-up and hair artist if you would like one. 
Their services cost $150 unless you require a special service, to be discussed during our consultation.

Retouching that looks natural, not doll-like.

​Make- up and Wardrobe Recommendations

The best headshots are pictures of you on a good day. Not your absolute best day, not when you're headed to the club, but a good day when you feel that you look great. It should look like you will when you walk into the audition. So no cat eyes or smokey eyeshadow or super bright lipstick (unless that is part of your already established brand). Just a natural look for your make up and hair. I have a makeup/hair artist available for $150 a session.
​
Most people generally look great in all solid colors. No patterns or logos. Patterns distract the eye and you can't submit a headshot for Adidas when you're headshot shows you wearing a shirt with the Nike "swoosh" on it. lol. Earth tones are great, generally blues, greens, reds, yellows, sometimes pinks and purples. What ever works best with your skin tones to make you look amazing! However, as you can see in the picture on the left, occasionally knit items look great. It depends on the pattern of the fabric. Bring it, we'll test it and use it if it works!!
