Actress and Model Headshots

Headshots for actors, actresses, and models are a little different than business headshots. Lighting and equipment are similar but the posing and cropping of the images are not. Talent directors want to see an actor’s face first and foremost. So a tighter headshot is required for actors and sometimes not even the top of the hair is included in the shot. The headshot must include all of the face and down to the collar bones. An actor headshot session should also include some variety in expression. It’s probably best to have two or three final images for your headshots. A happy smiling photo is necessary but a more serious look is also great to have in your back pocket. Here is a great article on acing your professional headshots for actors: Professional Headshots for Actors: 7 Steps to an Eye-Grabbing 8 by 10

Headshots for Zy

Zy’s mom contacted me about actor headshots for her 5-year-old daughter. I was excited!! And she was an absolute pro. She came prepared with several outfits and after warming up a bit, Zy let her personality shine through! I asked her to turn her chin one way and then the other and she followed directions better than some adults. True story. I had to get her cute hair in the shots as well because the hair styling made that look. At the very end of the session, we did some natural light headshots and a more serious expression. She nailed it. The serious expressions at the beginning of the session were more playful and silly. But the ones at the end were perfect and I just love her final image with that serious expression.

UPDATE: Zy’s mom contacted me after the showcase. Zy was the only 5-year-old selected to go to California next year for IPOP. How exciting! She was so glad to have those 8×10 headshots in her hand just before leaving. I’m so glad we got them done!

Summer might be the best time for family portraits—and here’s why.

Fall gets all the hype, but it also brings packed schedules, tight timelines, and holiday stress. Summer? It’s lighter. Looser. Happier.

The kids are home. The evenings are longer. And yes—there’s golden light and gorgeous greenery everywhere.

Whether you want an outdoor session or something cozy indoors (hello, air conditioning!), summer gives you the flexibility to actually enjoy the experience.

Swipe through for just a few reasons to book your family photos now—not later.

📅 Let’s chat about what kind of session fits your family best.

His headshot made him more money… and here’s why 👇🏼

When my videographer finally swapped his profile photo for the professional headshot I took, something changed.

✅ More responses to cold DMs
✅ Better leads
✅ Real revenue growth

All from one simple update.

It’s not magic — it’s psychology.

🤝 People do business with people.

They want to see the face behind the brand, connect with a real human, and feel like they can trust who they’re hiring or buying from.

Your headshot is often the first impression you make online. Make sure it actually represents the real you — confident, approachable, and ready for the opportunities you want to attract.

These 5 photos will completely transform your real estate brand 👇🏼

Whether you’re a solo agent building a personal brand or a growing team trying to stand out in a crowded market—your photos matter.

Because real estate is personal. People want to see who they’re working with and feel like they can trust you.

📸 Detail Shots
From signage to coffee cups and closing folders, detail shots add depth and personality to your brand story.

Let’s be real—getting your photo taken can feel super awkward.
You’re standing in front of a camera, trying to look natural… and it doesn’t always come naturally. That’s where I come in.

My goal isn’t just to take a great headshot—it’s to make sure you feel great while we’re doing it.

🗣 I keep things casual and conversational so you’re not stuck in your head.
🙌🏼 I give real-time encouragement to help you feel supported and at ease.
📲 And I stream your images to an iPad so you can see exactly how things are going—and speak up if something feels off.

Because the best photos don’t happen when you’re perfectly posed.
They happen when you’re relaxed, confident, and feel like yourself.

Ready to finally love your headshot?
Contact me to schedule a session designed to make you feel good and look good. 🤍
