What to expect
"I have never experienced a photoshoot like this before."
I hear that all the time.
I experienced the standard headshot session years ago when I was an actor — expensive, high-pressure, and honestly… not very fun.
And while I understand that headshots may never feel completely “natural,” I believe the experience can still be deeply fruitful, collaborative, and even enjoyable.
Headshots are your multi-dimensional calling cards, and I treat them with that level of respect. The goal isn’t just an accurate visual — it’s a portrait of your essence, your range, your story.
What brings a headshot to life isn’t just lighting or sharpness — it’s you. The lived experience you carry into the room. The nuance. The contrast. The quiet humor or boldness just beneath the surface.
A technically solid image is nice — but what I strive for is an image that reveals depth, presence, and the full scope of who you are.
And I can promise this: you already carry joy, peace, passion, humor, and strength — we’re just going to make sure the camera sees it too.
Los Angeles Editorial Headshots & Portraits by Cathryn Farnsworth
I begin each session with a thoughtful conversation around your goals and creative path.
People are hired first for who they are, and second for what they do — especially in this business.
Getting to know you helps me capture you, honestly and distinctly.
Wardrobe & Creative Prep
Wardrobe is finalized ahead of time so that on shoot day, all focus stays on creativity — not decisions.
“You are your greatest teller of your own story.
And it begins with your ability to truly know you.”When your visual identity aligns with your inner voice — from tone to clothing to energy — the camera responds.
Need styling help? I work with two incredible, affordable stylists I’m happy to refer.
Session Length & Flow
Sessions typically last 2 hours (slightly longer for women).
Long enough to connect and explore, short enough to keep you fresh.
Some sessions unfold through character work. Some through music and joy. Others through quiet ease.
However we get there, the result is the same: photos that reflect you — present, relaxed, and fully real.
Environment & Vibe
The studio is private, peaceful, and fully equipped.
If you bring a guest, there's a cozy green room for them to relax in.
Music is always welcome. I have a curated library, or you can bring a playlist that helps you drop in.
A Few Suggestions
– Know your casting type(s). I shoot like you’ve already landed the role.
– Don’t stress. From the moment you walk in, you’re supported.
– Rest well for a few days before.
– Stay hydrated and eat well.
– Share any previous headshots with me — we’ll talk about what’s worked and what’s next.
– Wardrobe consults available upon request.
– If you use your own HMU artist (lovingly discouraged), please arrive camera ready.
Studio Policy
– We do not offer reshoots or refunds.
– Please have rep-approved wardrobe ready before your session.
– You are the lead. We are your creative team.
– You'll see images as we go — backdrops, wardrobe, styling — everything is transparent and collaborative.
