Professional Headshot Photographer; Vanie Poyey
We love treating our clients to a day of fun when they come in for their session. Here are a few people we had the chance to work with over the last couple of months. Thank you all for making our days interesting!
George Fisher, a repeat client, found me again after a ten year hiatus from the business. He was just as much fun to work with this time around as he was ten years ago! George, please don’t tell them about the “Vanie” from ten years ago. Shhhh.

Young Dad
Occasionally, we have requests for Modeling ZED Card sessions. We usually create four different looks for the back of the ZED Card. Here is an example from Jose’s shoot. Ladies check out those abs!

Jamie also needed a “body shot” for fitness. As you can see, she really showcases her range in these photos. Good luck Jamie!

Santino on the left reminds us of the “nice cop” on Heroes. Paul Vroom on the right looks like he just stepped out of an episode of Law & Order!
Thanks for making it a fun day guys.

Guy Next Door/Cop
Derek is the third member of his family to do headshots with me! His brother and dad are both past clients. Thanks Brent for starting the trend and keeping the tradition. We wish Derek all the luck, not that he needs it!

Nerdy Office/Guy Next Door
These two ladies have a way of seducing the viewer! Krystal on the left is showing some strong attitude, while Tiwana on the right, exudes confidence.

Sexy Love Interest/Leading Woman
This was the second time I had the chance to work with Liza. She needed a re-shoot since she recently became a brunette. In the past, she’s gotten a lot of compliments from her last shoot as a blond (see our gallery), and I’m sure the compliments will continue!

Leading Headshot/Edgy
Courtney, the gal with the amazing blond hair, was so quirky during our shoot, she really made it effortless for me. Teena came in and did a friend session with her mom! These sessions are always a blast and as a bonus, we give a generous discount!

Girl Next Door/Hip girl
Dana has such an amazing range. She went from a very warm, funny character to a hard edged persona in no time. Slumber party Dana?

Young Mom/Edgy Bad Gril
This beautiful red head is Samantha. Perfect for the CW! Good luck Samantha!

Girl Next Door/Edgy
David Chung is a perfect example of male clients who use facial hair to vary up their look. Clean shaven, he easily pulls off the young dad, while with some scruff, he becomes the edgier heart breaker!

Edgy/Young Dad
Watch out Hollywood, here comes Nikki. Check out that range! She can destroy you and be your best friend at the same time.

Edgy/Young Office
It’s always a fun day when I have clients that make me laugh. I had the pleasure of working with these two in the same month! Allen, a very talented comedian had me laughing so hard, I had to put the camera down. Kyle reminds me of Seth Rogan. He was so easy to shoot, the day was over before it started!

Quirky Guy/Guy Next Door
Shannon is another one with incredible eyes. She just completely captivates the camera and demands your attention.

Young Mom/Sexy Girl
Markeia has so much range she looks like two completely different people here. The secret? Great talent and a great wig!

Vixen/NY Hipster
You can just tell from these photos that Kelly is energetic and full of fun! She really allowed for her creativity to come through. Say hi to our friends in Santa Barbara Kelly!

Silverlake Girl/Commercial
Coming soon, we’ll be comparing headshots before internet directories were born, and how they were different from today’s headshots.

New LA Headshots
Here are some long overdue shots from the last month.
I haven’t been able to update the blog since the last two weeks were spent moving into our new place.
We finally have central air in the summer heat!
Speaking of Summer, summers in LA can be good or bad depending on what you’re doing. It’s great to be out in the sunshine photographing my clients and enjoying the weather, but when we hit 90 degree heat, we tend to stay indoors.
These shots are both indoor/outdoor images shot with natural light.
We start with two sisters, Kristy Jo and Teri. Both unique in their own ways, Kristy Jo is a young, fresh face, new to the industry, and Teri is her older (but still young) sister. All of us had a great time on this shoot, and I hear Kristy Jo is already getting some attention!

Commercial Headshots
This is Jerome, French and handsome!

Business/Edgy
Rati, was full of energy and spunk! I hardly had to try. It was a very smooth and easy shoot.

Commercial/Hip girl

Girl Next Door/Best Friend
Lisa Ann had a lot of personality as well. In our shoot she portrayed everything from the business woman to victim. Of course there was a little quirkiness in there too!

Quirky Business/Upscale Casual
Heather has a style all to her own! Her pixie haircut and spunk shines right through her images. Cute, cute, cute!

Girl Next Door
My repeat client of the month, (usually there is at least one) is Theo. Working with repeat clients is always an honor. The biggest compliment is when my clients come back for a second or third round.

Business
Everyone meet Francesco. Here all the way from Milan! I think I need a new genre for marketing looks for “Italian heartthrob” with an accent.

Detective/Leading
Matthew Quinn, well… I don’t know if he needs any introduction.
He has a hilarious sense of humor and an incredibly expressive face. He will do very well, I just know it.
