Boston Head Shot Photographer ~ Updating Jessie's Acting Portfolio

A Few Tips when Booking Head Shots for Actors:

• Keep it simple with natural makeup that isn’t overdone. Solid colors are best and avoid bright white tops. Avoid anything that will distract the focus from you.

• Select outfits that match your type or brand. You want to showcase a range of looks but remember the strongest one is the one that aptly represents you and the typical roles you would be cast in.

• Preparation is key. Plan your outfits well in advance. In the days leading up to your photo shoot, prep your skin and keep it properly hydrated by drinking lots of water and moisturizing.

• Historically Acting Head Shots were printed and submitted in Black & White but times have changed. We offer a Color & BW version of each final image selected so you have both to choose from.

Here are some faves from a recent In Studio Session with Jessie updating her Acting Head Shots.

A few faves from this year’s updated Head Shots and Team Portraits with Munroe Morrow Wealth Management in Boston’s North End.

Boston Seaport Creative Branding Session

One of my favorite spots in MA for On Location Head Shots and Creative Branding Sessions is the Boston Seaport. It’s versatile anytime of the day and offers both city vibes with water views and endless diverse backdrops. Here’s a few highlights from a recent session with OG KLP client Kerrilynn Yemma - a realtor at the Realty One Group.

Team Portraits in Boston's North End

Back in the North End this week to update the Team Photos for Munroe Morrow Wealth Management. We lucked out with another temperate (high 60s!) and beautiful Fall day in Historic Boston for a photo shoot. These new portraits will be used to update their website and for the Annual Company Holiday Card.

Creative Portrait Sessions

These One Hour In Studio Sessions allow for several outfit changes - or “looks” - and are perfect for Professional and Personal use from LinkedIn to Dating Apps - or both.

Here are a few final selections from a recent session and the lovely text received when we sent the client’s proofing gallery over: “I am so excited, Kiki. I thought yesterday was such a unique, authentic experience. Thank you!” ~ Kathy T

Creative + Branding Portrait Sessions ~ Melissa at Lynch Park , Beverly MA

I met Melissa many years ago as a volunteer photographer for one of my favorite dog rescues in Boston - Last Hope K9 Rescue. She recently booked a KLP Creative + Branding Session and we shot on location at Lynch Park in Beverly. While we are also shooting Head Shots in the studio as well these days, outdoor Creative Sessions are an ideal option for not only safety but also for clients wanting a natural setting that matches their brand as well. These are an hour long on location and allow for an outfit change. Here’s a few highlights including her resident dog Ruby (the little one) and their current foster Yeti (big white one!) who is available for adoption from LHK9 right now too. I have missed photographing rescue dog during the pandemic so was thrilled to have her boyfriend bring the dogs at the end for her session. Not only did we get some of handsome Yeti to add to his file and hopefully help get him home soon, also lucked out with a beautiful sunset which was the perfect backdrop for a family silhouette. Those ears. Love.
