A Valentine’s Day Bunch

The Valentine mini sessions were so much fun!  And this Valentine’s Day bunch was no exception.  Everyone especially loved the red rug because it was soooo soft!  It was a great setup for the older kids and younger ones too.  The pillows made the perfect support for the little ones who could barely sit by themselves.

Photos with Team Amos

My old friends came to visit me for this special session.  The older two Amos kids are the same ages as my kids.  Our families were in the Moms Club together and we made it through the rough early days with park play dates and lunch dates.  A few years later and a couple of extra kids made for a great reunion.  I love team Amos!  During our session, we got individual shots of the kids and then a couple of shots of all of them together.  Shooting fast is the key when you have little ones and having the big kids was a huge help too.

Here`s the hard truth about acting headshots that most photographers won`t tell you 👇🏻

If a casting director can`t immediately see what role you`d play just by looking at your photo, you`ve already lost the audition.

Corporate headshots show professionalism. Acting headshots show CHARACTER—and that requires a completely different approach.

Most actors think they need one `perfect` headshot with a generic smile. But casting directors aren`t looking for pleasant—they`re looking for types. The lawyer, the best friend, the villain. And they need to see it instantly.

That`s why specificity wins:
✨ Confident and commanding for lawyer roles
✨ Warm and approachable for parent characters
✨ Hint of mischief for villain parts

But here`s the bigger mistake—thinking one headshot is enough. One headshot = one role. Multiple headshots = multiple opportunities.

You need range: commercial-friendly, dramatic, playful, maybe edgy. When casting directors see variety, they`re thinking about how you fit their ENTIRE project.

Not every photographer understands acting industry standards. When I work with actors, we plan multiple `looks` in one session—because every shot needs to feel intentional.

Ready to create acting headshots that actually get you cast? Let`s plan a session that shows your full range.

🎥 Ever wondered what it’s actually like during a headshot session?

If the idea of being in front of the camera makes you feel a little awkward or unsure, you`re not alone. Most of my clients come in feeling that way — but leave saying, “That was way more fun than I expected!”

Here`s a sneak peak at how I will guide you every step of the way — from how to stand, where to look, even how to tilt your chin — so you never have to wonder what to do. ✨

My goal? To make you feel confident, comfortable, and genuinely like yourself. And the best part is, the results speak for themselves.

"What should we wear?" — The question that keeps families from booking their session. 😅

Here`s the thing: I`ve been doing this long enough to know that outfit stress is real. And completely unnecessary.

That`s why I work with a professional stylist who takes the guesswork out of coordinating your family`s look:

🎨 She creates a custom color palette that flatters everyone
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Coordinates (not matches!) each family member perfectly
📦 Can even help you shop or pull from what you already own
✨ Ensures your photos look timeless, not trendy

No more last-minute outfit changes. No more wondering if everyone looks good together. No more stress.

Just show up, be yourselves, and let us handle the rest.

Because the best family photos happen when you`re relaxed, comfortable, and focused on each other — not worried about whether your shirt works with your daughter`s dress.

📸 Ready for a stress-free family session? DM me to get started!
