Great Headshots for Pilot Season
Headshot Photographers in Los Angeles
When shooting photos outdoors in the Fall, one never quite knows what challenges the weather can bring. Luckily, I had a great group of clients who came with a positive attitude, ready to shine!
Here are some of those great moments which were captured.
Maggie Matteson, a complete Natalie Woods look-a-like, had a sweet girl next door vibe that easily doubled as the strong leading lady.

Leading Lady
Shawn Ryan easily transformed from quirky employee to lovable boyfriend to high powered executive. He was a pleasure to work with and after the shoot was over, he immediately booked a session for his husband as well! Thank you Ryan!

Quirky Office/Guy Next Door/Executive
Presto had such a great hip hop/street look while Elizabeth Ann Friedrick gave off a sassy Joan Cusack vibe. They were both a pleasure to work with!

Edgy Hip Hop/Sassy Friend
Brian Mulligan was such a treat to work with. He easily transformed from the witty English teacher to the warm dad.

Professional Teacher/Dad
I loved the different looks that Jackie Becker pulled off. In a flash, she was the seductress, hip young mom and the no-nonsense attorney. Jackie’s an amazing actress and proof that beautiful women don’t have to be afraid of character!

Leading Lady/Quirky Girl Next Door/Young Professional
Cameron Marsh is really a good boy but he surprised us with this bad boy persona. Meanwhile, Phillip Daniel was a pro at bringing out the quirky sarcasm.

Edgy CW/Quirky Office
It was a pleasure working with these next two gentlemen. Biff Ingenthron was a real guy’s guy while Mark McConville cracked me up on the shoot with his fun and wacky personality.

Professional/Nerdy Office Guy
Arae Murdoch is one of our returning clients all the way from Canada! It’s an honor and the biggest compliment to have her come back. In this session, she was the ruthless delinquent, at the same time transforming into the lovable girl next door. Check out her previous session here!

Actor Headshots in Hollywood
It’s been a month since my last update. Here is a new set of great personalities I had the pleasure of working with!
These two gentlemen were a treat! There were lots of smiles and a very go-getter attitude from Sheldon on the left, throughout his shoot. James Ausley still young and handsome, had great energy as he took on the role of the dad.

Business Casual/Dad
Margaux Macgregor is a young and sassy woman who is ready to break hearts with this killer smile. Troy Grant is one of our returning clients of the month. He delivered a range of characters, from the serious business professional to the character you see here. Jennifer Mabry was a joy! A very warm and loving woman to be around.

Love Interest/Commercial Business/Theatrical Business
Here we have Andrea Caban, another returning client, she was wonderful to work with. Those beautiful brown eyes and great smile, what more is there to say? Mark Anthony Lopez has a great sense of humor but you wouldn’t be able to tell from the edgy character here!

Quirky Professional/Edgy
These next two, Karl T. Wright and Lisa Kaminir delivered their A-game to the business professional look. Lisa is another returning client. The best compliment we get is when our clients come back!

Business
Rod Damer brought all the cards to the table. With great ease, he portrayed the edgy detective, the lovable dad, and the business man.

Detective/Commercial Dad/Commercial Business
Katie Dietz had great presence and was a pleasure to shoot with.

Comedic Secretary/Sexy Leading
Joey Beni was so much fun to work with. He portrayed the lovable, goofy guy next door perfectly. It was an enjoyable experience with Peggy Clements, and ex model. She was vibrant and full of life!

Goofy Guy Next Door/Fun Mom
Gabrielle Whittaker is a woman out to make a statement. She approached each look with great commitment as you see here with this bold, edgy look. Jeff Ash might seem like the quiet, shy guy here, but he’s able to deliver great laughs and loads of personality.

Edgy/Quirky Office
I loved the levels of character reached with Allyson Ryan. With her great smile, she had me smiling with her, and when she took herself to a darker place, she had me wondering!

Fun Young Intern/Edgy Victim
This next young woman, Ana Dela Cruz, expressed herself as the quiet sassy, vixen and the mom effortlessly.

Sassy Gal/Young Mom
Can you say Clark Kent? This was the running joke during Caleb Ellis’ shoot. He’s such a wonderful guy with great potential!

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!

Athletic/Swim looks for Modeling ZED Card
Jamie also needed a “body shot” for fitness. As you can see, she really showcases her range in these photos. Good luck Jamie!

Young Office/Athletic/Girl Next Door
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.
