“Theo is, without question, the best headshot photographer in the business, and Juliet is the creative force who elevates every session far beyond what any photographer could accomplish alone. Their lighting, backdrops, equipment, and overall photographic artistry are unmatched. This is why they’ve been the top choice for celebrities, major agents, and the most in-the-know managers for over 25 years.

When it comes to angles, variety, and knowing exactly how to make every setup work for your type, Theo has it nailed. He has this incredibly calming presence that makes the whole session feel easy and grounded. Juliet’s advice on wardrobe is crucial and often the key to creating the most successful headshots, helping you capture your essence in a versatile, realistic way that will get you out. And her makeup artistry is so natural and truly brings out the best in you in the most effortless way. She also offers personal shopping packages where she’ll go out and find the perfect wardrobe pieces for your session at a very reasonable price.

I am not related to them in any way, and I don’t get anything for posting this. I’m sharing it because it feels like the right thing to do for the right people and to help other actors. You will definitely get more than enough amazing shots, but you will also get an experience and industry advice that is truly priceless.“

Would def recommend, she's communicative, timely and has a great eye for locations and lighting.“

“No, this is not a wig. Three different versions of my icy white hair by Kelli Zhender. She is the queen of healthy blond, not to mention a totally amazing person. I definitely recommend if you want a color or blond specialist.

I always feel great and look beautiful leaving her chair. Ice white hair is very hard to execute (and not have all your hair fall out) and she has mastered it time and time again. She's also magical with a pair of scissors and now even my husband sees her for haircuts. Can not recommend Kelli enough.

There is parking in a lot behind the salon in the Ally as well. Salon is clean, small all the stylists are very accommodating. I've had nothing less than five star service whether it's color, cuts or Brazilian blowouts.

Update: I've had many iterations of fabulous hair by Kelli. Still my go to and still a 5 star experience! What are you waiting for?“

“I have worked with Sarah multiple times which is a testimonial on its own because I am very particular about my photos! Sarah completely captures the vibe of my brand and elevates my photography well beyond what I could ever achieve on my own. I prefer bright and airy, true to color photos and she absolutely delivers, although she is able to do other styles well with ease.Every shot is treated with the utmost importance, in perfect focus and edited to produce a dreamy aesthetic. She listens very carefully to what you envision for your brand and then delivers.In addition, Sarah makes herself available with great follow through and a sense of responsibility which is something I very much appreciate. She is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her services. I know that I will be returning for more!“

“Julia is the best! She has a way of taking your ideas and making thoughtful suggestions to enhance them to the next level. She is so easy going and really takes the time to make your experience just as amazing your photos. I highly recommend her for any occasion!“

“Our photos turned out BEAUTIFUL! They did an amazing job capturing such a special moment! Great communication and easy to work with.“

“Rarely would i step out and give a review of a professional, but in this case after working with Matt, I can give a great review of him and his photography. Not only is he a great guy, but his work is top notch and he is really a photoshop wiz. Which enables him to make work which is above and beyond your normal pics. Also, he has a great way to proof pics online and go through them with you. Anyway Thanks Matt for everything.“
