New actor headshot sessions- Spring/Summer 2026
“My management wants colorful backgrounds”
Different managers/casting agents want different styles. The preference for a certain “look” can also vary from city to city and I am happy to accommodate any type of image that is requested or I can help you figure out what works best for you as an actor.
Not the type of shoot I normally do……
Recently, a former client referred a lovely lady to me who was about to turn 40. She wanted a fun photo shoot to celebrate this milestone. I don’t do a lot of traditional portraiture but she wanted to be glamorous and fun so we booked a makeup artist, gathered our disco balls and balloons and spent an evening creating fun images to commemorate 40 trips around the sun. This is what she had to say about the results…..
“Wow wow wow… I am screaming at the top of my lungs…. I loved love love and loved my photos… Excellent work, Ms. Amy.. You are indeed one of the best.. Thanks so very much. I am beyond impressed🙏🏽
God bless the work of your hands.”

Recent headshot sessions, studio and location
It was a busy Summer and Fall is flying by! Here are a few recent samples from headshot sessions. Be sure to check out the portfolio page for actor/model headshots for additional samples and pricing.
The new year is here!….maybe it’s time to update your corporate or acting headshot.
New year, new look or maybe just bored with your marketing materials? You are not alone. This time of year is always crazy busy for me with new clients! Just a sampling of some recent headshot sessions.
David’s agency requested new images with brightly colored backgrounds. I gave him quite a few options and I hope they love them.
Client Spotlight- Emma Chaiken
These were Emma’s first headshots. She is a talented young actor in her mid 20’s but clearly she has an age range of 16-25. We had a great time creating headshots to show off her varied looks. These are samples of my 3 look headshot session.
Client spotlight: Casey Hayes- Deats
Casey came to me wanting some varied character headshots. We discussed her “types” and she felt like she would do best with “kindergarten teacher” “girlfriend” “lawyer” and of course we did one that was just her everyday look.
She was fantastic! She brought a wonderful variety of colorful clothing as well as business attire. Casey was also not afraid to get into character and give me lots of great expressions.

It’s been a busy September!
Headshot sessions have been off the hook lately…back to doing my favorite kind of work. Some are actors, some models, some business portraits and I love all these sessions.
Planning for your actor headshot session
If you are planning to update your headshots, be sure to think about what types of roles you are most likely to book. It’s important to get a simple, polished photo that just shows YOU, but you also should think about varying your other looks to better represent your “type.”
When it comes to wardrobe, I can’t stress this enough…bring choices! That doesn’t mean three or four t-shirts in different colors. Think layers, colors, different necklines keeping in mind the different looks you want to portray.
These are from a recent headshot session and I thought she did a fantastic job choosing her types and had plenty of clothing to suit each look.
