Say hi to Jordan. He is a Senior at St. Paul Conservatory for the Performing Arts and applying to theatre schools/conservatories for college next year.

Jordan really wanted something different and dramatic for his senior SESSION. He may look very composed and serious but we spent a ton of time laughing our heads off (he and his mom are hilarious)! Jordan’s mom is an AMAZING person. I met her when I went to college at St. Olaf as a Theatre major and the three of us really clicked. I love collaborating with both the Senior and Mom. Moms also have awesome ideas (yup Seniors, your mom is cool. truth). Their favorite image was one Libby helped compose. I do get photographer blinders sometimes so having another creative eye there with us is awesome.

A little something special I do is provide my seniors a professional headshot for all of their upcoming professional auditions. It gives them SUCH a step above the rest when auditioning! My actor/artist seniors get one free with their session and man, did we have a blast getting Jordan the perfect headshot! (FYI-He nailed his headshot on the FIRST IMAGE of his session.) This is REALLY hard to do! The first images are usually “nervous” images but this kid? Cool as a cucumber.

That same coaching is why my studio is trusted for actor and performer headshots.
Whether I’m photographing a high school senior with a theatre background or an actor preparing for auditions, the process is the same: clear direction, expressive coaching, and helping you feel confident and natural on camera.

If you’re curious how this translates to audition-ready portraits, you can see examples of my actor & performer headshot work here.

This was the headshot he chose.
