These Agoura Hills headshots were for yoga and meditation instructor Brian Hyman. Regardless of the industry, it's always a good idea to update headshots every two to three years. You can find Brian's meditations on Insight Timer. Thanks for hanging out Brian!

Natalie's Malibu senior pictures occurred during a strange season in life. Remember COVID? (Oh yeah... it's still happening...) Her senior year got cut short. Her freshman year went online. So call these senior pictures, grad pictures, freshman pictures, COVID pictures. Whatever, it all happened in Malibu and Natalie is off the charts.

Quality headshots are an essential part of putting your best foot forward. From creating a polished LinkedIn profile to looking your best on your company's team webpage, you should have a great headshot that you love sharing with the world. ​

Headshot Tips

  1. Dress the part. Think about what you're planning to use this headshot for, and dress as though you already have the job. If you're sprucing up your LinkedIn profile to land a job in finance when you graduate, maybe that means shaving the beard, getting a haircut, or borrowing a suit and tie from a friend. But if you're building your career as a personal trainer, show up like you would for a fitness photoshoot. 
  2. Hair up or hair down? As long as your hair is out of your face and we can see both your eyes and eyebrows, you can style your hair however you want. 
  3. Wear this not that. This session will occur in a natural park environment with plenty of grass and trees in the background. So you'll be framed by soft greens. With that in mind, I recommend opting for light neutrals or pastels. The exception to this is a dark, classic suit and tie... that's always appropriate for a professional headshot, regardless of the backdrop. Colors and clothing to avoid? Neons and large, busy patterns. 
  4. Accessories. Jewelry is fine, as long as it enhances rather than detracts from your overall look. If you're torn on whether to wear a piece of jewelry, ask the people you live with, "What do you notice first?" and if they instantly gravitate toward the accessory, maybe don't wear it for your headshot. You want this photo to feature you! 

See you on October 17 and 24!

Malibu Senior Photographer | Sasha Senior Pictures in Malibu

4/3/2020

 
Picture
I'm all heart eyes over Sasha's senior photos, shot right here in the hills of Malibu, California, where she grew up, made friends, and learned to play soccer before moving across the country to play college soccer.

We started out with a few more classic, garden-style portraits in Sasha's backyard in Malibu, then we walked over to the hiking trails overlooking her house and the surrounding coastline, where we marveled at the beautiful golden hues of the setting sun.

Malibu Headshot Photographer | Pepperdine Student Club Headshots

2/26/2020

 
Picture
Picture
A Pepperdine student club needed headshots for their members, as a value-add. These photos will serve as LinkedIn headshots, resumé headshots, or just a great asset to have on hand as they pursue their professional development.

In this particular case, the photos were shot indoors, after dark, so I augmented the lighting situation with studio lights and a flash to make for clean coloring and even skin tones.

Holy Yoga Retreat | Yoga Photography

6/13/2016

 
Yoga poses are beautiful. Nature is even more beautiful.

​I was lucky enough to go on a fantastic trip last month to a yoga retreat in Arizona, and of course I met some remarkable women. 

We all have things to share, and great photography is one of mine. It was an honor to snap some candids, some poses, and some head shots out in God's green creation.

Like these? Making women feel beautiful is one of my favorite things to do. Whether you're a yogi, a mom or a rocket scientist (or all three), I would love to put together a shoot that feels authentic to you. Email me. 

Julie | Malibu Senior Portrait Photography at the Adamson House

4/6/2016

 
Julie is a lacrosse-playing, no-shoes-wearing, bundle of hopes and dreams for the future. That's why I LOVE senior portraits, because it gives me the chance to get excited with you about college, the end of high school, the next steps. It also reminds me that life unfolds in stages; and the only rule in that is you can't ever go back. So the moral of the story? Don't rush it. Enjoy this stage. Enjoy now.

We shot Julie's senior portraits at the historic Adamson House, right on the beach in Malibu, CA. We've been getting rain recently, so the grass was crazy green and the sky perfectly clean and clear. We picked golden hour on a Monday and had the whole grounds to ourselves. The house has lots of nooks and crannies on the outside, that offer visual interest. In Julie's photos, you'll see some of the distinct Malibu tile that decorates the patios and fountains. Julie's older brother and younger sister jumped into a few of the shots and we even convinced Mom to take a few!

Congratulations Julie on being a senior and I hope you go to Pepperdine!!

Like these? I shoot lots of senior portraits! Malibu is full is incredible locations, from parks to beaches, to hidden fields full of ready-to-photograph natural landscaping (i.e. weeds). Shoot me an email and let's schedule an hour or so to make some great images together that you'll treasure for years to come.
