Meet Kaitlyn – the NIDA graduate who is already kicking goals. I worked with Kaitlyn earlier in the year on some new actor headshots (also, how is it April??). She approached the whole shoot with such a positive attitude, completing my pre-shoot survey and really thinking about what she needed, and where she wanted to go in the industry. And then when we met, I found out that Kaitlyn had already been cast in The Australian Shakespeare Company production: Much […]
Lucie – Melbourne Actor, Musician and Artist. This was my second time working with Lucie, and I couldn’t be happier to have the opportunity to capture some more actor headshots for this talented woman. This time we worked together on a gloriously warm and sunny Sunday morning. Lucie gave me the exciting news that she was off to LA, and she was updating her actor headshots before the big move. I am so thrilled to hear about this amazing move […]
I recently had Tiina come to the studio. Tiina is from Finland, but she has fallen in love with Australia while touring. It was about a 35-degree day when we met, but she mentioned how back home in Helsinki it was about -10 degrees! I couldn’t even imagine that kind of cold, and Tiina said that she loved the Australian summer. In the studio, we took a few headshots. She has beautiful blue eyes, so we picked out a top […]
Makeup Tips for Professional Headshots Makeup for headshots: One of the big considerations that people often seek advice on is how to do their hair and makeup for their headshots. I can see why people stress about this aspect of the process. You might not wear a lot of makeup, or you might usually keep your hairstyles simple. But that’s okay.

We all have a personal brand. Whether you run your own business or are seeking work, your actions, behaviour, and online presence form perceptions by others. It is these first impressions, whether good or bad, which influences others’ perception of what our personal brand is. When it comes to making great impressions, the thing that matters most is putting your best foot forward. It means maintaining professionalism when someone writes a not-so-favourable review for your business. It involves creating and […]

2018 wrapped up for me with this personal branding portrait session with Vince. It was a perfect summary to the year. In the session we shot in the studio as well as outdoors. We completed a range of headshots, as well as branding portraits. I really enjoy sessions that go all out exploring the different options in front of us. Vince was a champion, and let me do my thing and take the lead. The backstory is that Vince wanted […]
Do you like your corporate staff headshot? Lolita came to my studio at the end of last year. Her workplace was putting some staff headshots online, and she was unhappy with how the generic snapshots taken by her team members were coming out. So she seeked out a professional to help coach and direct her during the shoot. I can totally relate to Lolita’s problem. She was wanting an image that was really authentic, and captured her essence. Staff headshots […]

It is all exciting times ahead for their family, as she prepares to embark into the wide world of acting. While she didn’t have a lot of experience in front of the camera, Christina was quick to take direction and relax. She was definitely a natural. […]
