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.







Doesn’t he look so serious and pensive? Bahahhahaa… Sorry.

If you’re looking for portraits that feel intentional, guided, and fully taken care of, I’d love to hear what you’re envisioning. Drop me a line here and we’ll talk dates, styling, and what you want these images to say about you.
