Meet Your Photographer!

  • My son recently booked a Live Moment, Slate Shot and new headshots for his actors profile. Dustin was amazing to work with! He brought such a relaxed and comfortable energy throughout the entire shoot and truly captured my son’s personality on film. An added bonus is it’s a one stop shop! They have a celebrity makeup artist on site which we added to our package. Lisa was awesome and super personable - my son felt comfortable in a matter of minutes and her expertise showed in the final product. Amazing all around - I highly recommend this company and will be using them again in the future.

  • My 7-year-old daughter really enjoyed her experience of having a photo shoot for her headshots with "a Thor look alike" as she called him. Dustin was great to work with and we love the headshots.

  • Dustin was absolutely amazing! My son thought he was the coolest guy around and felt very comfortable with him. I love how he included us in deciding which pictures were best and provided us some business insight. Dustin is a true professional and his end product was far superior to previous headshots. Thank you Dustin, Jade and Lyra :)

  • Our whole experience working with Dustin was fantastic. He was wonderful with my daughter and made her feel at ease and comfortable. I love how he included her in the process and asked her opinion about the clothing choices we brought. Her headshots are beautiful and she already told me she wanted to go back for more photos soon!

  • As a photographer myself, I have to say that this photo session far exceeded my expectations. The ability to create real life and natural photos that accentuate both of my kids personalities, highlights Dustin’s commitment to detail and talent. Highly recommend!

    — Stephanie, Parent
