Portraits & Headshots
As a Broadway performer myself I know the importance of having that great headshot that shows those casting directors and creatives exactly who you are. That is my philosophy on both portraits and headshots- show me who you are, tell a story with your eyes. We'll work together to find those shots you just can't wait to use all the while having a good time in the process. I also try to leave you with some photos which can be used for your website or promotional material. Contact me for rates and schedules.
Summer Special--- 3 looks and 3 edited photos all for $300!
