LA Headshots by Vanie
We started off September with a very energetic and lively gal named Paige.

Edgy Girl Next Door
Here is a man that really showcased his range. Jon Conlon was portraying everything from successful business man to older yet fun and energetic dad!

Working Dad
We feel that Julie Eliav really shines through her photos. She is such a charismatic young girl!

Young Disney
This young heartthrob even has the exotic sound to his name. Ladies watch out for Alberto Frezza!

Young Business
Kay is just as bubbly as these photos suggest. We had a blast on the shoot with her!

Girl Next Door
On the other hand, Joe, is not as serious as his photos suggest! Could have fooled us though…

Business

Villain/Bad Boy
My next client could rival Carrot Top! That red hair is so commanding, yet his facial range also captivates!

Young Business/Edgy
Alex and Nathan Lee Burkart really gave me a hard time! I had such trouble telling the two apart as they are identical twins. They were both a blast to work with and each brought their own personality to the shoot.

The Brothers
Amanda was a fun challenge! A great personality in a tiny gal! We had a great time coming up with ideas to showcase her talent and height.

Silverlake girl/edgy girl next door
Debi Del Grande just radiates sunshine in her photos. She was such a great pleasure to work with!

More pictures from the last two weeks!
We start off this round with Adam Arbon, a great improv guy. I don’t think he even knew he could go with the flow as well as he did. Watch out world, this one is quick and witty!

Edgy/Commercial
This lovely gal is Veronika Duerr. She is the classic beauty with a bit of a tortured soul, or so it seems…

Edgy/Commerial Lead
Our repeat client of the month is Jordan Davis, but this time I was honored with a repeat repeat. This is Jordan’s third time working with me, and the third time using his irresistible charm!

Boy Next Door/Office
Eric Bingham was so easy to work with and had a lot of range!

Surfer dude

Business/Cool
The down to earth beauty is Jessie Sherman. I loved her curls and wanted to really emphasize it in these images with the backlight.

Girl Next Door
Jamie Hyder will do really well as she’s not only beautiful but talented.

Girl Next Door/Silverlake Edgy
Hollywood Headshots
Still catching up on posting photos from the last month since we moved!
Here goes..
Starting off this batch of work is Stefan. Part Lebanese and you’d never be able to tell, just like you can’t tell I’m Lebanese Armenian!

Edgy Bad Boy
On my shoot with Lenny he portrayed everything from edgy, to laid back musician, and finally to the business man, funny and serious!
This image shows him as the ideal goofy “Staples guy”.

Funny Guy
This recently married beauty is Carina. She was such a great personality to work with, and what a pretty smile! Her day job is a wedding coordinator. The best day job you can ask for!

Commercial
I did a lot of double sessions this month. Double sessions involve sharing a session with a friend/boyfriend/partner/sister etc. where I shoot both clients at the same time, and they receive a pretty hefty discount. Not only is it a great deal for them, but it’s a fun day!
Starting these sessions were Anne and T.M.
Anne is just radiant in her images. Talk about eyes that POP! I did not cheat that…swear.

Girl Next Door
T.M. isn’t as stern as she looks, but she plays the part quite well in these images.

Business
The next double was with Deborah and Janna.
Deborah, this fiery redhead, is a photographer as well. She made things easy since she already knew some of the tricks of the trade!

Sexy/upscale/fun
This beauty is Janna. She just screams old Hollywood glam, and reminds me of Ava Gardner.

Leading/Sexy
Finally, Arae and Bronagh. Two friends with quite different styles.
Arae is the spunky Canadian gal. I thought she looked a bit like young Judy Dench on the left.

Commercial/Edgy
Bronagh has perfect porcelain skin, complimented by the jet black hair, giving her a unique style.
