You give everything. Then you give what’s left. Sixteen hours a day, two sucky jobs, a one-room apartment, zero margin. You read, rehearse, and research in the cracks between shifts, cutting food, cutting comfort, cutting anything that doesn’t move you forward.  Time? You don’t worry about losing it, you’re already spending tomorrow. Sleep? That was another life.

​

Finally, that perfect casting call comes your way.

Now, in just under five seconds, a casting director will evaluate your professionalism, personality, appearance, and talent,
all based on your headshot.

LANDING AUDITIONS HINGES ON YOUR HEADSHOT!
I can't stress that enough. If your headshot falls short, all of your efforts and your impressive resume will never get the attention they deserve.  A professional headshot is essential for creating a lasting first impression.

I'm here to help.

I design each session to reflect the roles you want to book.
We’ll capture your natural energy and authentic personality.
Every choice from lighting to expression to background is made with intention. The result: headshots that feel alive, real, and
ready to get you in the room!

The Actor/Actress Headshot Process

Step 1: Private Consultation

 

Every session begins with a complimentary one-on-one consultation. This is where we define your casting goals and clarify how your headshots need to function in today’s industry.

 

We’ll discuss:

  • The roles and character types you’re targeting

  • The casting markets you’re submitting to (theatrical, commercial, co-star, series regular, etc.)

  • How many looks make sense for your current stage and representation

  • Wardrobe choices that photograph cleanly and read honestly on camera

  • How to prepare so you arrive confident and camera-ready

 

This planning ensures your session is intentional, efficient, and tailored specifically to you and not a template.

​

Step 2: Secure Your Session

​

Once your session is designed, your shoot date is reserved with a $150 deposit. This secures your time and allows for full preparation ahead of your shoot.

​

​

Step 3: The Headshot Session

​

Your session is calm, focused, and unrushed. I guide you throughout — refining posture, expression, and subtle details that elevate a headshot from good to undeniable.

We work through each look with care, adjusting as needed until we capture images that feel truthful and competitive. Afterward, we review the images together, narrowing down the strongest selections for professional retouching, the shots that truly serve your casting goals.  Or, at their request, we'll prepare a gallery specifically for your agent and manager to review and select from.

​

Step 4: Session Balance

​

Once your final image selections are confirmed, the remaining balance for your session is collected so post-production can begin.

​

Step 5: Delivery & Usage

​

You’ll receive a private, personalized online gallery with your finished acting headshots. Your gallery allows you to:

  • Download high-resolution images for casting and marketing

  • Share the gallery directly with agents and managers.
