HEADSHOT SESSIONS
For actors, professionals, and anyone who wants to be seen clearly.
  • How much do sessions cost?
    Sessions start at $250 for 30 minutes. I also offer 60- and 120-minute sessions depending on your needs.

  • How many looks do I get?
    As many as we can fit into your time without rushing—no limit.

  • Where does the session happen?
    I shoot out of The Workshop—a working garage in the Hollywood Hills, outfitted with pro gear, vintage movie posters, and a killer city view. It’s not fancy, but it’s honest, cinematic, and made for creating great images. Directions are shared after booking.

  • What should I wear?
    Bring options that reflect range. Neutrals and layers work well. Most importantly—clothes you feel good in.

  • How long until I get my photos?
    Proof gallery in 3–5 business days. Retouched selections delivered ~5 days after.

EMPOWERMENT PORTRAITS
Black-&-white, honest, intimate.

  • What is this about?
    It’s not about posing. It’s about being. These portraits are for self-expression, self-acceptance, or bold beauty. You set the tone.

  • Do I have to be nude?
    Never. Most clients wear what makes them feel strong—robes, lingerie, or personal pieces. Nudity is optional.

  • Where do we shoot?
    Most sessions take place at The Workshop—my garage studio in the Hollywood Hills, designed for privacy, mood, and creative freedom. That said, many clients prefer the comfort of home or the whimsy of a hotel or rental. We’ll find the right space together. A travel fee applies for locations outside L.A.

  • How long is the session?
     2 to 4 hours. We take our time.

  • Will these images be shared?
    Only if you give written permission. Your privacy is absolute.

What about make-up and hair?

You're encouraged to arrive hair and makeup ready.

 

If your schedule allows, you're welcome to meet your artist here before the session—I don’t offer in-house styling, but I’m happy to share referrals so you can make your own arrangements.

Hair and makeup artists are also welcome to stay for the duration of the shoot if you choose. That’s entirely up to you—I welcome any team members you trust to support the process.

For Empowerment Portraiture, the atmosphere is often more personal. Some clients prefer to be alone once the session begins, and that’s completely respected. Who’s present is always your call.

Additional Considerations

Every session is designed to feel comfortable, clear, and easy. A few things to know:

  • Accessibility: The Workshop is wheelchair accessible, but the adjoining house and restroom are not.

  • Animals: A small, friendly dog is usually on the premises.

  • Custom Locations: If you'd prefer to shoot somewhere else, we’re happy to travel. A location fee may apply depending on distance and setup needs—just ask.

If you have any questions or specific concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out. We're here to make this a good experience from the very beginning.
