Formerly an actor, photographer Cathryn Farnsworth recalls having her headshots taken after coming to L.A. from Colorado: "The first shoot I did was $1,200—that was with the photographer and makeup artist—and they didn't talk to me, really. It was all about their connection. It was just about them. And I felt when I got the shots, they were technically right, but they weren't me. Not only was the hair and makeup not me, it was not a way I would have promoted myself. I was basically unhappy with the photos."

That experience has shaped Farnsworth's approach to her headshot business, emphasizing the building of a personal connection with each client and creating a relaxed atmosphere so his or her true personality shines through.

Farnsworth, an 11-year veteran of the headshot business, has worked out of a studio before but now prefers doing shoots at her Toluca Lake home. She believes the informal atmosphere, combined with her insight as a former actor, helps get clients in the right frame of mind for their shoots. "I do it in a very fun, safe environment. We listen to music; it's a very relaxing space," she says.

"When I first started shooting, people would come to me and be like, 'Ugh, I have bags under my eyes because I didn't sleep all night, I was so nervous.' And I was like 'Wait, why are you nervous?' " Farnsworth says. "And I realized, they're coming off a different experience with headshot shoots. They don't realize that this is something so fun, so creative, and so relaxing, that there's zero reason to be nervous."
