One of my favorite portraits to shoot is Head Shots.   Everything from the lighting set ups to the poses, I simply love doing them.  So, when Cassie's Mom got in contact with me through my wife about getting some head shots of her daughter for acting and commercial work, I was stoked to get started.  Cassie came in super excited and we chatted for a little while about her interests and her goals.  Her excitement was contagious!  We chatted some more about posing and how I would help direct her into the best poses, and then we got started.  The goal was to produce natural head shots with simple lighting and minimal makeup.  We wanted 100% of the focus to be on Cassie.  And of course, Cassie nailed her poses which only made it more difficult to choose just two.  The entire experience of working with Cassie and her Mom was wonderful.  We analyzed all the images as they popped up onto the monitor and made adjustments along the way.  

I would like to wish Cassie the best of luck in her pursuit of an acting career.  The following images are the ones we decided on.  Enjoy!
