Slide 1 could get you acquitted. Slide 4 knows damn well you did it.

In between? The warm commercial smile and the blue-collar theatrical look with just enough grit.

Erika’s two agents knew what they needed for the roles she books and keeps reading for. She came prepared, we got specific about wardrobe and color, and she gave casting four very different reasons to call her in.

I’ve wanted Erika in front of my camera for a while. I mean, LOOK AT HER.

The school musical was a hit. Now they want an agent. 😏🎭

Parents… this is usually where the questions start.

What do they need? Who do you trust? How do you help them take that next step?

Jay’s mom came to me with questions, too. So we slowed down and talked about his goals, where these headshots would be going, and the kinds of roles he wanted to audition for. That conversation helps shape what we create together.

Because “get some headshots” can feel like one more thing on the list. But there’s a lot we can explore in that session.

Swipe through Jay’s: the intensity in the olive shirt, that little knowing look in denim, the warmth in the hoodie. Different possibilities. Still very much him.

And this musical theatre lover was SO much fun to photograph. He listened, took direction, and was game to explore. I’d offer an adjustment and he’d run with it. My actor heart was very happy. ❤️

That’s something I love seeing in a young performer: the willingness to try, alongside the confidence to bring themselves into it.

Jay knew this was a big step toward something he loves. And that little sparkle in his eye? Yep. I saw it, too. ✨

Got a young actor dreaming beyond the high school stage? You’re welcome to come with questions. That’s where we start.

Ridiculously happy with these ones. We got really specific with Nicole’s session.

A fresh commercial headshot, a full-body shot for her agents, and an updated fitness shot.

And can we talk about that BLUE?! 💙

Nicole is the absolute sweetest — thanks for trusting me 😘😘

Keep that booked-and-busy life going!

Don turns 62 today and recently decided to go all in on a lifelong dream: acting.

He’s signed with an agent, started auditioning, and of course needed his first set of knockout professional headshots.

Lucky for him, the photographer had an opening. And a key to his house. 😆

We planned seven outfits around the parts he’d love to play: the uncle who considers dad jokes a public service, the neighbor whose weekend plans involve Home Depot, the real estate agent who remembers everyone’s dog’s name, the CEO who can turn off the charm in a second, and the detective who knows the kids’ story doesn’t add up.

Honestly, he has range. And an alarming supply of dad jokes. 🙄

I’ve been encouraging him to do this for years. If he books a role as a husband who listens to his wife, I expect a producer credit.

Happy Birthday to my favorite new actor. ❤️ I love you so much!

Your headshot doesn’t need to prove you can act.

It needs to make someone want to find out.

A beautiful photo isn’t automatically an effective headshot. If casting can’t begin to imagine where you belong on screen, we haven’t done enough.

With Daphne, every image had a job:

✨ Youthful + bright
✨ The snobby popular girl who has all the answers
✨ The girl running for student council
✨ Warm, approachable commercial: the real Daphne
✨ Drama with a little Eleven from Stranger Things energy

Same actor. Five specific stories.

Because changing your shirt five times doesn’t give you five different headshots. Wardrobe helps tell the story. Direction, intention and what’s happening behind your eyes are what make us believe it.

Daphne took every bit of direction beautifully. She’s a brilliant young actress.

So before your next headshot session, don’t just ask:
“How many looks do I get?”

Ask:
“What does each image need to DO for me?”

I want every image to know what its job is.

And these do.

Part of my job is to give my actors options.

Also part of my job: Apparently give them so many good options that choosing becomes impossible. 😂

Sorry, Ashley.

Actually, not sorry!!!

You were a DREAM to photograph. 🩷

New headshots delivered!

Uses the phrase “per my last email.”
Has already documented the incident.

🖤 BLACK:

Waiting for you to admit it.

THIS is why we don’t bring three versions of the same shirt to a headshot session. 😂

Zara and I have been wanting to work together for quite some time… and she finally made it happen. 🥹

From our very first phone call, I knew we were going to connect on set!

And the moment she walked into the studio, there it was…that infectious energy. Warm, joyful, funny, and just so incredibly easy to be around.

We had SO much fun creating together.

And this headshot?! 😍

This is Zara.

I’m overjoyed to send this one out into the world for her and her agents, and I cannot wait to see where it takes her.

But even more, I can’t wait for all the actors, directors, casting teams and crews who get to experience her on set.

Go sparkle and shine, Zara. ✨

I’ll be over here cheering you on.
