Born and raised in France, I moved to Belgium at the age of 15 to pursue my passion for photography. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, I showcased my work in a traveling exhibition that appeared in several cities, from Paris to Brussels.
At 21, I moved to New York City, where my artistic vision and ability to connect with people led to a successful career in portrait photography within the entertainment industry. Today, Los Angeles is my home, and I am proud to work with actors, musicians, artists, entrepreneurs, and celebrity clients.
Since 2004, I have specialized in professional headshots and have worked closely with many of Los Angeles' leading talent agencies. My French joie de vivre, combined with years of experience and a genuine love for people, helps me create an atmosphere where clients feel comfortable, confident, and at ease in front of the camera.
My approach to headshots is more international and inspired by a European style. Today, headshots are evolving beyond just clothing and appearance. I focus to capture your true essence while creating images that are both authentic and marketable. With a deep understanding of the entertainment industry and casting expectations, I know how to create headshots that help actors and professionals stand out while remaining true to who they are.
Every session begins with careful wardrobe selection, choosing looks that align with the roles you are most likely to book. Together, we explore colors, textures, backgrounds, and lighting to create a variety of images that showcase your range and personality. My daylight studio, combined with professional lighting, allows me to create everything from natural commercial looks to dramatic theatrical portraits.
Because being in front of the camera can feel intimidating, I often use improvisation and scene work to help clients relax, connect with emotions, and bring genuine expressions to life. I believe a great headshot is more than a beautiful photograph it should tell a story, reveal character, and create an emotional connection.
I want every client to feel comfortable in their own skin and confident. Professional hair and makeup are available and highly recommended, offering an opportunity to relax, be pampered, and feel fully prepared for your session.
I look forward to helping you create headshots that capture who you are and open doors to new opportunities.
