Natasha Straley is one of the most upbeat and enthusiastic people I’ve met and worked with in this industry. Her willingness to work with you to get the perfect shot and to make you have fun on set makes you look forward to the day. I’ve been photographed by her twice, and I can’t wait to someday work with her again! In this business, it’s hard to look for someone who is open to your ideas. So, Natasha is someone you would want in your corner! Thank you very much for being present and available with me. You nurtured an environment in which I felt safe even in my unease and I was resultantly able to reach an organic place under inorganic circumstances and I couldn't be more pleased with what we have to show for it. I loved how much fun it was to play and how easy I warmed up to Natasha. The over-all experience was really enjoyable and it felt more like having fun in front of a camera than trying to pose for the best head shot. In my opinion, I think you rock. Period. I love the fact that you have a consultation beforehand because it helped you know what kind of pictures I needed, even if I didn't know myself. I wouldn't change one bit. You're awesome! I loved all of it-- the consultation before hand and the homework you assigned. I loved your session. I loved the direction you gave-- I loved the breaths you had me keep taking haha. I loved how you had me go over to the mirror before the start of it all and ask me if I looked like me... that was really awesome, and also, how you let me view the shots in between changes. Gasp! Thank you so much!!!!!! It looks great :-) The pictures look awesome! Not to mention it was a blast to work with you :) Thank you so much for the easy shoot, helpful headshot tips, professional makeup artist, and your outstanding eye as a photographer. The very very best thing that you did was set me completely at my ease. I felt safe enough with you at our consultation to share how completely stressed I was about getting new pictures and you absolutely made me feel 1. okay and 2. like i could trust you to do your job well and help me get the shots I needed. |

As a working actor myself, I understand the stress and demands of the profession. Headshots should be the easy part! I make sure that plays true for you.
I believe the most successful headshots communicate strongly through the eyes. These images are most effectively captured within a relaxed atmosphere. I make it a priority to create an safe environment during our shoot giving you the support and freedom to explore. I love working with actors. I love discovering what unlocks each individual. When you're used to playing a character, it can be a challenge to be in front of the camera as yourself. I enjoy guiding you through that process as you find those same vulnerabilities within your own personality. Your headshot needs to be uniquely YOU. Let's find that. -Natasha |
