A great LA Headshot is about capturing your unique quality. I’ve been a professional LA Headshot Photographer for the past 19 years helping my clients achieve their dreams. I do this by keeping my session’s creative, fun, and relaxed.
Actress Headshot Photographer
With so many LA Headshot photographers in Los Angeles you may ask, “Which is the best one to work with? Who will capture you and set you apart?” It begins with trust. The foundation of a great shot starts with feeling comfortable. After working for years in Los Angeles with top agents, casting directors and managers, I have witnessed the magic of great headshot.
A headshot session should be a great experience. When you are relaxed and having fun it will reflect in your photos. The more you can be yourself the greater chance of your personality coming through. This is because acting, as well and photography, is about confidence. Confidence comes from being open, relaxed, and completely at ease. Our openness is our capital. My job is to help you share without any tricks or gimmicks. I have realized long ago acting is about focus- how to align emotion with understanding to create the character. But it all starts with you and what you bring to the headshot. And it is my job is to help you get there. So rather than go through another headshot session, one that just goes by the numbers, have an experience, one remembered long after the last click of the camera. I’ve had actors tell me their booking rate had gone up after the shoot because they realized after the photo session that just being themselves was enough. It always is. The truthful way- not a contrived and controlled one.

"You are Amazing!"
From start to finish my goal is to help you have an amazing experience. I am as passionate today as I was when I first started. From that very first day when I made a promise to myself that I would make each and every happy no matter what. I can honestly say that I have lived up to that ideal.
Acting is a feeling business. It succeeds when truth is shared.
My goal is to give you a great headshot experience as well. Helping my client’s career is very rewarding to me. If I can be a positive experience then I have done my job. Actually, I never see it as “a job.” It’s a passion in that I am learning everyday and being blessed to use my creativity to help others.
