  • I’m going to cry! I love them so much! Thank you! Thank you! When I take headshots again, I’ll for sure be coming back to you guys. Honestly, the best I’ve seen in Arizona!

  • WOW! My experience with Dustin was incredible. The vibes were unmatched. I've worked with many photographers over the years and he's by far the most passionate one I've worked with thus far. The attention to detail and storytelling is any actor's dream. Additionally, I also booked the makeup artist and honestly was prepared to be disappointed. I even secretly brought my own makeup bag preparing for the worst. I was blown away by her attention to detail, her energy, and ability to really match my skin tone and look most like myself. This was a 10/10 experience for me and I will be recommending them to everyone I know.

  • Working with Dustin was easily the most comfortable I’ve felt in front of a camera. He makes you feel at home and fosters a very collaborative, safe space that makes you feel like you’re doing your best work. It was amazing working with someone with such a refined skill set, especially when it comes to shooting darker skin tones!

  • This was my first ever headshots session and I have to say that I am so happy I went with Headshots and Cold Brews. The entire team, Dustin, Jade and Allison were so amazing, sweet and welcoming. Dustin is so calm and gentle; he makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. Jade has the most inviting spirit and Allison, who also provided my first ever professional makeup and hair experience, was just so cool and funny; my mom and I had the best conversation with them throughout the entire makeup and hair process; I had fun. They all made me feel so beautiful and confident. Oh and I love love love my headshots. Thank you! I can’t wait to work with you guys again in the future.

  • Dustin and Jade are very kind and laid back people! They made the process super quick and easy. It took about 30 minutes and we got the shots we needed! Great quality pictures for a great price! They even had the digital photos edited and ready for me to have before the end of the day. Definitely recommend.

If you need a shot with a genuine smile or laugh, Dustin’s personality will bring it out with ease. Know that you’re in very good hands. These are some amazing people who do some unreal work.

FAQs About Adult Headshots in Scottsdale

  • Yes, we highly recommend booking professional hair and makeup for your adult acting headshot session, especially if you book multiple looks. While you may be great at doing your own makeup, a pro makeup artist will always elevate it further - especially for the camera, which picks up every detail. We work exclusively with artists who are booked regularly on commercials, TV shows, and film sets. These are industry professionals who study and paint faces all day, every day - they know exactly what works for camera lighting, skin tone, and castability.

    Our artists specialize in creating natural, polished looks that align with your personal brand while meeting industry standards for both theatrical and commercial headshots. They also take care of the little details that make a big difference: hair shine, flyaways, framing your face, and even wardrobe tweaks during the shoot to ensure every frame is usable.

    This service is highly recommended — and 100% of the fee goes directly to our professional makeup artist.

  • A great headshot is your first impression. It’s what casting directors and agents see before anything else. A clean, professional, and castable image shows that you’re serious, marketable, and ready to work. Headshots that reflect your energy, range, and type help decision-makers quickly place you in a role, increasing your chances of being called in for auditions.

  • We recommend bringing layers (jackets, vests, overalls, etc.) and a variety of colors, patterns and cuts. See our Wardrobe Guide for a full breakdown. 

  • You are absolutely welcome to bring a friend or relative, we just request that you only bring one person.

  • Yes, all selected headshots come with professional, natural-looking retouching. We keep your features true to you while polishing details like skin, teeth whitening, flyaways, etc. The goal is to deliver clean edits that meet industry expectations. If you tell us you are using your headshots in LA, we will generally retouch them more heavily as that is the standard there.
