I would highly recommend Studio B for professional headshots. Purchased these for my daughter and was so blown away by the results. From hair and makeup to the photo session, the entire team has such a friendly and open demeanor. Makayla was an absolute pleasure to work with such an amazing eye for detail and provided really helpful guidance for posing and expressions that really brought out my daughter’s best qualities. It was really hard to narrow down which ones to keep. Each photograph was perfectly edited and retouched. So thrilled with the final product!!

01. Keep it natural. We recommend working with our in-house styling team to achieve a camera ready look that is age appropriate and polished. Leaning into trends has its moment, but a timeless look will more easily allow for casting directors to envision you in their production. Similarly, select your wardrobe with the goal of classic pieces that enhance your personality.

02. Show your range. While you want to stay natural with your styling, showcasing versatility in your movement, emotion, and expressions will be a powerful way to stand out from the crowd. This will give you the ability to curate your portfolio to specific auditions, and our expert team of photographers will coach you through poses that will bring out the real you!

03. Trust the process, and have fun. Easier said than done, right? But rest assured, our team has photographed hundreds of headshots for actors and models, and we will guide you through every step of the process. Your job is to simply enjoy the journey!
