A New Realtor, A Strong First Impression

Kyle visited my photo studio here in Pacific Grove, California needing professional headshots as he just became a realtor. He chose a distinctively colored blazer that I thought was a great idea to establish a personal brand, and for his headshots to stand out even more from his competition. Kyle did great in front of the camera wanting two different smiles for his headshots both on a clean white background. He liked his headshot photo session so much he soon wrote a 5-star review. Thank you Kyle for choosing me as your headshot photographer and I look forward to working together again!

A Studio Headshot Session with Real Team Energy

It was a real treat to have Dr. Jamie and her team visit my photo studio in Pacific Grove, CA for team headshots and a team photo as well! I mostly have individuals come to the studio for headshots, as it is not the biggest studio in the world, but for 5 people it worked out well. So that each person could still have their own individual style shoot, it was only one person at a time in the studio, while everyone else waited out in the lobby. Then after each person was happy with the headshot we made, the rest of the team came in and was super supportive of the image made of that team member, adding reassurance and encouragement! These genuine feelings for each other showed up in one of the best team photos I have ever made (see below)! I liked it so much I put it immediately on the home page of my website in my very select home page portfolio gallery.

A Collaborative Campaign Headshot Session in Pacific Grove

Burcu Mousa (see the headshots I made for her on her campaign website) contacted me about making headshots and branding photos for her campaign to be Auditor-Controller for Monterey County. She visited my photo studio in downtown Pacific Grove, California bringing with her a number of wardrobe changes and I had reggae already playing per her request when I asked her what music vibe she wanted for her photo shoot! This was a fun, collaborative shoot, and yes, having a professional photo session matters because elections are visual. Since I shoot tethered to a 43” screen, Burco and I went through shot by shot during the session getting each headshot and branding photo just right in terms of lighting, background, and expression. She also changed wardrobe several times to match with the background and intention of each photo. In less than an hour long session, we were able to create 10 images she personally chose and that some of which are already up on her website! I really enjoy working with candidates running for political office. It definitely adds a little kind of extra buzz to the photo shoot in my mind! Thank you Burcu for choosing me as your photographer and trusting me to make the visuals that will be used in your campaign!

Young Actor Headshot Photo Shoot in Studio in Pacific Grove - Joseph returns!

Creative young actor headshots made in studio in Pacific Grove California

My first young actor headshot session with Joseph was back in April of this year. How much can things change in 8 months, well, just take a look at the photos from that first shoot! When he arrived with his mom, Kristen, to my photo studio in Pacific Grove, I noticed right away and the style of headshot shoot we did this time reflected the new roles that Joseph is now ready to take on by looking older. Kristen had sent me some guidelines from Joseph’s agent for this shoot helping me prep the studio for the new style of headshots the agent wanted this time. For this session, I shot with a single light, and Joseph was seated on a posing stool for most of them, and then the biggest change was shooting with a shallower DoF and tighter in. Then, the agent provided guidelines wanting a more natural look, so a bit of imperfection in the hair for example was actually good! I really like the results we got in a session that took less than an hour, but yet still yielded a variety of backgrounds, wardrobe, poses, and expressions, as well as glasses on and off. Thank you Joseph and Kristen for continuing to choose me your headshot photographer!

Christina had a 5-star headshot experience at my photo studio in Pacific Grove California

I welcome headshots clients to my photography studio in Pacific Grove, California to have a relaxed, and even fun photo session experience. Christina sent example headshots that were helpful in me preparing the studio before she even arrived so when she did, all was ready to go to make headshots that matched the examples, but still with my own signature style and quality. This in turn allowed Christina to get headshots she liked so much she gave the photo session a 5 star review (see below) and it also did not take up up more than 15 minutes of her time. Thank you Christina for the kind review and for choosing me as your headshot photographer!

Shooting tethered for live reviewing helps get the right smile each time!

Natalie and her husband visited my photo studio in downtown Pacific Grove for a series of new headshots for her. Natalie was looking for a couple of specific levels of smile in her headshots. Since I shoot tethered she was able to review each headshot we made in real time on a 43” screen. This allowed us to get the particular smile she wanted for each headshot as we shot on two different backgrounds (white and gray) and with a couple of different poses as well. This is one big benefit I offer headshot clients, the chance to see each headshot as we go through the photo shoot so we work together to get the exact headshot they want. Thank you to Natalie and her husband for a fun shoot, a creative one, and for a true team effort in making these headshots!
