Editorial Studio Headshots for Executives, Attorneys, Realtors, and Personal Brands
If your last headshot was taken at a wedding, on a hike, or by your friend's iPhone, you're in good company. Most professionals walk around with a photo that doesn't actually represent who they are now. I've been a Santa Clarita headshot photographer for over 20 years, and I run a studio in Newhall built for one thing: making you look like the most credible, confident version of yourself in less than an hour. Executives, attorneys, realtors, coaches, founders, and actors come here from all over greater Los Angeles because the studio is fast, the lighting is editorial, and you walk out with an image that actually moves the needle on your career or business.

I loved all my photos they turned out great!”

HEADSHOT PRICING
Who Comes to the Studio for Headshots:
Most of my headshot clients fall into one of these worlds:
▪️ Executives and leadership who need a polished image for the company website, LinkedIn, press, and board materials
▪️ Attorneys, financial advisors, and consultants whose clients form an opinion of them from a single photo before they ever meet
▪️ Realtors who need fresh branding every 18 to 24 months because the market shifts and so should your image
▪️ Coaches, entrepreneurs, and personal brands building authority online and growing past the "here's a selfie I took on vacation" era of their business
▪️ Actors and creatives who need professional theatrical or commercial headshots that hold up against the LA market
The studio is set up to handle each of these without forcing everyone into the same look.
Headshots for Creatives
Creative headshots are for writers, directors, designers, podcasters, authors, and content creators who need a photo with actual personality, not the stiff corporate version. I've been photographing creatives at my Newhall studio for over 20 years, building images that reflect your real aesthetic and work across press features, About pages, podcast platforms, and book jackets.
Executive Headshots
Executive headshots are the photo your board, your clients, and your LinkedIn first impression rest on. I've been photographing executives, attorneys, and finance leaders at the Newhall studio for over 20 years, with 30-minute sessions that deliver editorial-quality images ready for your company website, press kit, and professional platforms.
Actor Headshots
Actor headshots have to hold up against the LA market, where casting directors review thousands of submissions a week. I've been photographing working actors at the Newhall studio for over 20 years, capturing both theatrical and commercial looks in a single session so you walk out with images that match the roles you actually book for. (Fun fact: husband has been a working actor for over 30 years; he is the reason I became a headshot photographer!)
The Studio Experience
Most people walk into a headshot session a little nervous. That's normal! Cameras can feel like a spotlight if you're not used to them and most of my clients aren't super happy about having to get their headshots done.
My Newhall studio is intentionally cozy, private, and calm. No assistants buzzing around. No giant warehouse vibe. Just you, me, professional lighting, and a process that's been refined over 20 years to make people who do not consider themselves models actually feel confident in front of the camera.
Is 30 minutes enough to get enough images you'll love? Absolutely! I've got the entire process dialed in and you'll love the images you receive, ready to drop into your LinkedIn, website, press kit, social channels, or wherever your career needs to show up.
What the Santa Clarita Studio Experience Looks Like
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does a headshot session take?
A: A standard headshot session runs 30 minutes in the Newhall studio. Branding sessions are 1 to 2 hours depending on the package. Corporate group bookings are 5 to 10 minutes per person.
Q: What should I wear for my Santa Clarita headshot session?
A: Bring 2 to 3 outfit options in solid colors that fit you well. Skip loud patterns, bright logos, and anything you've never actually worn before. Once you book, I send a full prep guide so you don't have to guess.
Q: Where is the studio located?
A: The studio is in Newhall, CA, which is part of Santa Clarita. Around 30 minutes from Burbank and Pasadena, 45 minutes from most of LA. Plenty of parking and a relaxed neighborhood vibe.
Q: How fast do I get my images back?
A: Standard delivery is 7 business days. If you need it faster, same-day and 24-hour rush options are available for an added fee.
Q: Do you do AI-generated headshots?
A: No. AI headshots are starting to look fake to anyone who knows what they're looking at, and several professional platforms are flagging them. Real headshots are an investment in something AI cannot replicate: how you actually look, in real light, with real presence.
Q: Can my whole team come in for headshots?
A: Yes. I shoot corporate teams of up to 20+ both in the Santa Clarita studio and on location across greater LA. Group bookings get a custom quote - inquire for pricing.
Q: How far in advance should I book?
A: 30-minute sessions are readily available from our online calendar HERE.
Q: How much do headshots cost?
A: 30-minute sessions are $425 and include retouched images
