I offer a variety of flexible and affordable in-studio portrait packages starting from $199 and ranging up to $800 (plus tax). 

Whether you want just a quick headshot or an all-out photo session with many different outfits and backgrounds, we can accommodate every budget so you can get amazing headshots that stand out to agents and casting directors. Remember, high-quality headshots are an incredible investment in yourself and your career. I will help you make the absolute most of your photoshoot with a plan that works best for your schedule and budget.

Looks are considered wardrobe changes. Lighting setups would be typically done during a wardrobe change and would mean a change of backdrop and/or moving of lights and camera equipment.

You can add or take away one piece such as glasses or a jacket for a look without it counting as an additional look.

Although using a professional artist is not required, it is strongly recommended, especially for women. Having your hair and makeup professionally done adds polish to your photos, and about 95% of my headshot clients do choose to have their hair and makeup done.

We will discuss how you typically wear your makeup and hair so that it can be an accurate description of you! Your makeup should be fresh and natural-looking, helping make your feature POP for the camera, not being heavy and overdone.

Even if you are skilled at doing your own, remember doing makeup for photos with professional lighting and high definition cameras is very different.

If you want to make a big hair change like doing both curly and straight for your shoot there are a few options. I recommend emailing a photo so your hair type can be discussed with the artist prior to arrival and we can prepare accordingly.

Typically I recommend arriving with your hair curly and full straightening can be done on-site. But again email us ahead of time so this can be discussed prior as all hair types are different.

Adding light waves to already straight hair is included in the price, however, there may be an additional $50 charge for a full style change depending on the length and thickness of your hair.

If you want to do this option yourself during the shoot, you are welcome to bring in your own hot tools with you to the shoot. You will have a 20-minute window to complete the hair change. If you are wanting to do this please let us know in advance so that timing can be scheduled accordingly. If you will be needing more time please let us know so this can be arranged beforehand.

I am happy to guide you in selecting clothing that will highlight your features and personality! Before your shoot, we will discuss possible outfits and I'll give recommendations on what clothing and styles would work best for you. 

In general, it's a great idea to bring a few different options to your shoot, so you have plenty of choices. I recommend solid colors over prints because they shoot and show better, letting casting directors and agents focus on YOU without distraction. The outfits you select should fit your body well (not be too tight or loose) and they should be ironed before your shoot. If you do wear glasses, make sure they have an anti-glare coating. 

Yes! I love working with actors of all experience levels and one of the best things is getting someone to step out of their comfort zone and be confident in front of the camera. I love making people feel confident and at ease, while giving them tips to succeed and get amazing shots they can be proud of. 

I've been in the industry my whole life – on both sides of the camera and even in the casting room! I know what directors are looking for, and my images POP OUT against the hundreds of thumbnails casting agents are looking at. 

During your session, we can be silly and crazy and get you totally relaxed so that we can capture authentic images that reveal your personality, range, and individual style. You are one of a kind! I will help you capture unique, professional headshots that reflect your talent and truly help you stand out.
