Headshot Photography Los Angeles by Vanie
We started off August the same as every other month this summer, BUSY!!!
This is Cole Gleason. He reminds me of a Dawson’s Creek character/ meets bad boy with a little bit of young Elvis.

Edgy/Bad Boy
Jeff Zukowski had incredible range. He acted out everything from the bad boy biker, to the dad and golfer!

Biker/Golfer
Laura Kody, who looks a lot like a young Angie Harmon, really showed her vibrant side during our shoot. She definitely belongs on the CW and will get there no doubt!

Sexy/Leading
This bubbly hipster is LaQuita Cleare. We had a great time bringing out her spunky side, which made for a great day!

Business/Sexy casual
We did have another “friend session” this month, where two friends shoot on the same day for a generous discount.
I love doing these double sessions particularly because we tend to shoot later in the day, where you can catch the nice light as the sun is going down.
This time it was Gabriel Oliva and Jason Currie.
These two boys are great friends and met at Disney where they both sing. Talk about some talent.
Gabriel showed off his charismatic young grad look with his striking features while Jason showed his funny, and serious, personality.

Business/Edgy
The beautiful gal is Joanna Elisabeth Tiwald. Not only is she pretty but has the smarts, as she is currently in school at USC!

Graduation party: photos for my cousin
My cousin Arpi just graduated from pharmaceutical school. Now we have another drug dealer in the family (Kira you know what I mean). Whoohoo! Click here for slide show of more pictures, or click on a photo to enlarge.
Corporate Headshots
Recently I was approached by Karen and Debra to take their corporate headshots. They are both defense attorneys starting to work together and combining forces, so to speak. I love being asked to photograph the “real thing” every once in a while even though photographing non actors can sometimes be a challenge. Most people aren’t used to having their pictures taken professionally. Actors are used to “acting” like lawyers in front of the camera but getting lawyers not to act and just be…well that can be tricky! Our objective here was to convey a sense of strength for these gals. I think these two strong women did a great job of combining warmth with a sense of “don’t mess with me”!
