Hi, I'm Jennifer
As an actor turned photographer, I see your headshot as more than just a marketing tool…it’s your opening scene!
I know the pressure, the cost, and the frustration of headshots that miss the mark.
My mission is to capture you—your energy, your spark, your uniqueness—in images that stand out in the casting pile and open doors to your next opportunity.
