I had to share this before-after to demonstrate what can happen during a shoot. For some reason, the strobes did not fire. I knew I had a great shot as soon as I snapped it. But... when I went to the laptop and noticed a black image, I felt my stomach hit the ground! I missed it!!! Arrrgggggg &^%#$#!@@#$ After the shoot, I went and decided to visit this "dark" image and see what bumping up the exposure would reveal. I knew it... it WAS the look I was striving for with my son, Luke. I did ask him to get back in front of the camera for a quick re-take but as we both knew... it was a long shot so we just went on. Call me stubborn, but I just cranked all the settings to the max and performed some magic... the above AFTER photo. I'm pretty happy with it, and so is Luke. Big lesson for the day... shoot your images in RAW. You never know what spectacular image you would miss if you didn't.

Proudly active Protege in Peter Hurley's HeadShot Crew Are you thinking of getting headshots? We certainly hope so! Here is some useful information to make sure you’re ready for your time in the spotlight!:) Headshots are your own personal branding, they will represent you at your best- the you that you want agents & your next employer to see! Headshots are all about your face! Your eyes are the first thing you want an agent and/ or casting director to notice, then your smile & other features. Thus, during your headshot session the focus is all on your face, our goal will be to depict you in various “characters” depending upon what role or roles you will be auditioning.  CLOTHING  Your attire needs to be clean & wrinkle free! Bring them on hangers to avoid wrinkles (yes t-shirts on hangers too:) We recommend you bring at least 3-4 solid colored tops with various necklines & tops of various styles for the session & place them on hangers to avoid ...

Today we had the honor of photographing another outstanding dancer.  We love headshot sessions because each person has different qualities and talents. We find it so exciting to capture their unique characteristics and personalities! Some exude great confidence, while others are a little timid and unsure of themselves. However, we can honestly say, that we take great pride in bringing out their "inner model". Those who come in unsure and unconfident, leave with a greater understanding of their own body language and facial expressions- therefore, confidence!  Clients who come to us with confidence also leave with a greater understanding of how their personality translates to photos. When the client can finish their session with too many photos to choose from- we feel great!  Confidence is key to having a great audition submission. You want to stand out from the rest and make the casting director want to find you during the audition process! You also want to go...

We sincerely hope your 2015 has started out with happiness, health & progress towards your goals!  But don’t despair if you have not stayed on the path towards those goals whatever they may be!  Many of us put too much pressure on ourselves to start something new on January 1st of the new year. Quite honestly it can be too much pressure to put that date as the only day you can start a new beginning.  We are now into the first week of February and if you have not stayed on track or even started- don’t worry! Every day is a new day! You don’t have to wait for morning, or Monday or the next month- just start! Live your life by the hour if you must! For example, maybe you ate a donut for breakfast (again) and you feel as if you ruined your diet already. Forget that mentality! This is a new hour! You can still choose to eat healthy foods:) Maybe you plan to write a novel, a movie, become an actor, singer, etc. Any day you start is the perfect day!  Are you ...

Good afternoon! I hope you're all having a wonderful Tuesday- we are!  I've been working for several years taking headshots for clients.  Some are seeking to be actors or dancers while others are in pursuit of modeling. Not matter what type of industry you are trying to get into, your headshot is *the* way to open doors!  When you book a headshot session with us, we will provide you with detailed information about what you can expect & what you'll need to wear (in the near future, we will also be posting some info on our blog for you:)  Today's post however is about the other most frequently asked question we receive---"do you know of any agents I could submit to?":)  So here is a list of some local agents recommended by SAG (Screen Actors Guild). These are professional agents who don't get paid unless you do!
