You just have to go for it. Choose the best photographer for YOU. Choose someone that, when you look at their gallery, has shots that you want for yourself. Then prepare. Do your homework on type and clothing and show up to the session with an open spirit and your best a-game. Work with the photographer in collaboration to achieve the shots that best represent who you are and where you see your career going. Stay present and energized during your session.
You should end up with shots that will help lift you to the next level in your career.
That’s how I see it. There is a point where you have to stop shopping and making excuses and just go for it.
Hope that helps with your decision making.
Cheers,
Joanna

Hey actors… My one-look headshot session is over 100 images on a disc. 2 looks is over 200! I make sure that you have LOTS of variety to choose from and I tailor the shoot to your personality keeping in mind marketing you as an actor.
My background in casting and my own acting and headshot experience is included for free 
Don’t get headshots from a cookie-cutter photographer who is a one-trick pony. You need to take control of your career and highlight the things that make you a different type of actor. Just because someone has a camera doesn’t make them a knowledgable headshot photographer. Do your homework when choosing the right photographer for you.
Get great headshots. You wouldn’t settle in your personal life, why would you settle in your career. It’s worth it! Reshooting with another photographer in a month because you didn’t get the right shots and tried to save money the first time is a HUGE waste of your time and money!
GET GREAT HEADSHOTS the FIRST TIME!
Call for an appointment. I always offer one-look and two-look packages if you are just dipping your toe in the acting waters and don’t want to spend a ton of money.

I had an incredible Vacation in St. Barth and all over the Caribbean with my family. Now the photos I took are everywhere. I am really proud of the boat and reflection photos as well as many of the candid shots. I am inspired to start a new gallery on my website called “Lifestyle and Travel.” Stay tuned for the new gallery and a new pregnancy package shoot that I will be offering soon. I am still not shooting weddings, but I appreciate the calls about that.
Hope to shoot you soon!

Yes, it’s Pilot Season and a really great time to get new headshots that can truly represent who you are. What do you have to offer? What are you bringing to the table in your career? Do your head shots really reflect the true you?
Just in case you splurged on your friends and family this Christmas, I am extending $50 off all my packages this January. Please call for an appointment.

It’s really important that you do your homework before we shoot. I want you to get the most out of your shoot and you should know what you are going for. “Looks” are outfit changes. So, when you think of different outfits, they have to stay consistent with who you are. When you audition for a sitcom or commercial it’s going to be way different from your film or dramatic tv audition. Maybe you always go in for the “young mom.” So, if it’s a “soccer mom” you would want to give off a different vibe from a “Desperate Housewives” mom etc. One is dressed to drop off cupcakes and the other is dressed to grab someone else’s husband. These can both be mom’s but have very different feels in a photo.
Dress within your range. What is the youngest “mom” and then who is the most innocent and who has something to prove. We all have these ranges within our own personalities. Figure out what yours is and how a simple neckline can say so much. You should spend time trying on your shirts and take your own photos to see what you think. It will save so much time to focus on what’s most important at your shoot. You.
Happy Shooting!

I shoot for many agencies, and they all ask for different things. If I am on your agent’s list of recommended photographers, then it means that I have shot one or more of their clients and they were happy with the results. Make sure you talk to your agent about the specific style/feel of the shot so that we can make them happy. Some agents want flat color simple shots with NO texture behind you. I love to shoot that way and as long as your agent wants that, let’s do it. If I am not on their list yet, it just means they don’t know about me, and I have every confidence that after we shoot I will be on their list. I am always happy to talk to your agent on the phone and make sure we are all on the same page.
I have many examples of different headshots in the gallery, I will make sure that I know what you and your agent have in mind before we shoot. If you don’t have an agent, then we need to make sure we are marketing YOU and I will always be on the same page as you are so that the next step for you IS an agent who loves your shots!
Happy Shooting!

I think this is pretty simple. If you like a headshot photographer’s style, then you should meet them. You don’t have to be in love with the photographer or need them to be your best friend, but you should feel like it is someone that is not intimidating and that makes you feel comfortable. If you are newer, then your photographer should be able to guide you through the shoot. If this is old hat to you, then the photographer should be able to step back and let you do your thing.
Yeah, that’s right… I am describing ME! I approach it with respect for what works for you and my style can be easily adapted without me feeling like I am losing integrity of what I do. Just look at those testimonials.
