When was the last time you were photographed with someone you love?

You may know me for my headshots, but connection is at the heart of everything I photograph. A familiar gesture, a quiet smile, the ease of being together.

My Beacon studio is also a place for portraits of couples, families, and individuals. I’ll guide you through the session, give you room to be yourself, and leave space for those little moments to happen.

Let’s create something you’ll love seeing on your wall for years to come.

As actors, I think there’s a natural tendency to try to anticipate what casting wants.

More serious.
More commercial.
More edgy.
More approachable.
More something.

And somewhere in that process, it’s very easy to start performing for the headshot instead of simply being present in it.
For me, a great headshot starts with you.
Yes, we can change the wardrobe. Change the background. Change the light. Play with expression and energy. Explore different sides of your casting range.
But underneath all of that, I still want to recognize the same person.
These four photographs are very different, but that’s what I love about them. They’re not four different characters. They’re four different sides of Emma Jaymes Emma Jaymes
A headshot that stays true to who you are has a much better chance of stopping someone in their tracks.
Not because you’re trying harder to get their attention.
Because there’s a real person looking back at them.
And that, to me, is what a headshot should do.

There’s something powerful about a portrait that doesn’t try too hard.

No forced smiles. No manufactured expressions. Just a person being present, and allowing the camera to catch something real.

That’s what I’m always looking for in a headshot: not a pose, but a presence.

I met Jaynalie when she was just a little bean…
Now she’s about to turn 16.

There’s something really special about watching someone grow up in front of your camera.
For the past 6 years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing Jaynalie, and every time she steps into the studio, there’s a little more depth, a little more confidence, a little more of her.
She dances, she sings, she acts… she competes at a high level… she truly is the whole package.
But beyond all of that, what I love most is that she’s stayed grounded in who she is. That honesty, that openness, that presence… it’s still there, just stronger.
I won’t lie, it’s a little bittersweet to see how fast time moves.
But it’s also a gift to witness it.
Really proud of you, Jaynalie. This is just the beginning.

Stillness is a superpower.

Anabelle doesn’t need to push.
She doesn’t need to “show” you anything.
You lean in… and it’s all already there.
Soft. Grounded. Present.
And then suddenly, there’s a whole story happening behind the eyes.
That kind of quiet depth?
That’s what casting holds onto.
No tricks. No overplaying.
Just truth.

4th time in front of my camera and it shows.

Blake Donovan doesn’t “try” to act… she just is.
Focused, present, dialed in, every single frame.

Honestly one of the most committed young actors I’ve worked with. And it’s no surprise she stays busy and keeps booking.

This is what happens when talent meets work ethic.
No shortcuts. No pretending. Just truth.

Always a joy, Blake (and Mom)👏
