About me!

From a very young age I knew I wanted to be an actor. And after moving all over the globe as a military child, finding ways to be involved in theater or music no matter where we went, I finally settled into the acting program at Penn State. After graduating I began my regional theater journey in Warsaw, IN before moving to New York City where I lived for two and a half years before marrying my husband and moving across the country AGAIN! 

 

Justin and I have been living and performing professionally in Branson for ten and eight years respectively, and that lends us a unique perspective on the tools every actor needs. When I first moved to town I noticed that there was a need for headshot photographers in the area, and picked up photography as a hobby that quickly grew into a passion. I love collaborating with artists to capture their essence and what they can bring to the table! We’ll discuss your goals for your looks on the day, and I will help guide your wardrobe choices and direct you throughout your session to ensure you walk away with not just shots that you love - but shots that you will use AND book you that gig you’ve been praying for!

My husband and I both do a lot of photography and videography work out of our home studio space. We love our home to be cozy and that extends to the studio. We have plenty of space for your belongings and outfit choices, and also have a seating area in the room outside of the studio if we want to really sprawl everything out. We want you to enjoy it here as much as we do!

Clover has been assisting with shoots for the last seven years, and usually chooses flight instead of fight when it comes to being included. She’s lived with us her entire life and has absolutely no reason to be afraid of inanimate objects, but as there are many of them in the studio she will rarely be a part of your actual session. Though she can often be coaxed with a cookie if need be!
