Part of my job is to give my actors options.

Also part of my job: Apparently give them so many good options that choosing becomes impossible. 😂

Sorry, Ashley.

Actually, not sorry!!!

You were a DREAM to photograph. 🩷

Zara and I have been wanting to work together for quite some time… and she finally made it happen. 🥹

From our very first phone call, I knew we were going to connect on set!

And the moment she walked into the studio, there it was…that infectious energy. Warm, joyful, funny, and just so incredibly easy to be around.

We had SO much fun creating together.

And this headshot?! 😍

This is Zara.

I’m overjoyed to send this one out into the world for her and her agents, and I cannot wait to see where it takes her.

But even more, I can’t wait for all the actors, directors, casting teams and crews who get to experience her on set.

Go sparkle and shine, Zara. ✨

I’ll be over here cheering you on.

Confident. Obsessed with her vibe. ❤️‍🔥

Thank you, Crystal for trusting me with your very first actor headshot.

The first thing I’m looking for isn’t an expression.

It’s connection.

And connection starts with trust.

Over the years, I’ve learned that great headshots don’t begin when I pick up my camera.

They begin by slowing down.

By listening.

By understanding why someone is there and what they hope these headshots will do for them.

My job isn’t to make everyone act the same in front of the camera.

It’s to meet people where they are.

If you’re quiet, we’ll ease into it.

If you’re goofy, we’ll laugh.

If you’re a leader, I’ll honor that while helping you get out of your head.

Because the goal isn’t just a great headshot.

It’s creating an environment where you feel comfortable enough to be yourself.

And when that happens…

You can feel you in the photograph.

Thoughtfully Guided. Naturally You.

Summer outdoor headshots just hit different.

Katrina found me on Google (SEO’s doing her thing 👊🏼) and came in needing a very specific look for a feature film audition.

We started with approachable…

… and ended with “I probably shouldn’t make eye contact.”

Which one’s got your vote?

Caution ⚠️ contagious smile comin’ at you!

Tell me you can just feel her warmth?!

She’s a dentist by day, an actress by heart, and one of the kindest humans you’ll meet.

Maybe it’s because I’m an actor too, but I have such a soft spot for people who refuse to let go of their creative side. They build careers, chase big goals, and somehow still make room for the thing that lights them up.

Such a fun day, thank you for trusting me.

Obsessed with my clients continues…

It’s funny how quickly we make up stories before we’ve even walked through the door.

I caught myself doing exactly that before this session.

I was photographing a corporate team, and somewhere in my head I decided, “Okay Karri…time to be a little more serious.”

😂 Nope.

The moment I walked through the door, everyone was warm, kind, funny, and genuinely enjoyable to be around. We laughed, chatted, and before long, it just felt like people connecting with people.

One thing they shared with me when they hired me really stuck:

“We don’t want just another corporate headshot.”

My response: “you found the right photographer!”

Whether I’m photographing an actor, an entrepreneur, or an entire corporate team, my goal has never been to create the same polished image everyone else has.

It’s to create photographs that feel like you.

Professional doesn’t have to mean stiff.

Confident doesn’t have to mean intimidating.

Corporate doesn’t have to mean cookie-cutter.

Thank you to this incredible team for trusting me to capture not only what you do, but who you are.

That’s my favorite part of this work.

✨ Authenticity photographs beautifully.

🚫 Stop bringing five versions of the same outfit to your headshot session.

Your headshot wardrobe isn’t a fashion show. It’s a casting strategy.

Most actors think wardrobe is about looking good.

It’s not.

It’s about giving casting directors a reason to picture you in more than one role.

For Bella’s session, every look had a purpose:

✨ Commercial
🏥 Healthcare
🎤 Spokesperson
🧘🏻‍♀️ Athletic & Wellness
🚴🏻‍♀️Lifestyle
🤲🏼 Hand Modeling

Notice what changed?

It wasn’t just the clothes.

Each look tells a completely different story, helping casting see Bella in a variety of roles and markets.

That’s what makes a portfolio work.

The biggest mistake I see? Actors bring five outfits…that all say the same thing.

Instead, build your wardrobe around the jobs you want to book, not simply the clothes you like wearing.

Because your headshots shouldn’t just show people what you look like.

They should help casting imagine where you belong.

📌 Save this post for the next time you’re planning your headshot wardrobe. Your future self (and your agent 😉) will thank you.

👇🏼Which look is your favorite?

Let’s talk about this little biscuit of joy… and PURE talent. ✨

This was my second time photographing Penelope, and somehow she just keeps getting more adorable.

And more bookable.

She recently booked a pretty exciting project out in Los Angeles, and I couldn’t be happier for her. This girl is on fire. 🔥

She’s giving me a little Kiernan Shipka energy, but with her own spark.

Who else do you see?
