As a woman entrepreneur, having great branding and lifestyle photos is essential to putting your best self out there online. I have worked with many photographers, and Caroline was one of my all-time FAVORITE experiences. We did a full-day shoot - and I felt totally taken care of from the moment I signed up... right up until I received my gorgeous new branding photos. It was not cheap, but it was worth every penny. Truly! I created a Pinterest board to give her a sense of the look & feel I wanted, brought a ton of outfit options, and she helped me pick the clothing and locations that would best fit what I was looking for. Her hair & makeup gal was amazing, and stayed with us part of the day to change up my look a little between shots (and for different locations). We did indoor & outdoor, casual and glam... I got such a wide range of photos that I've been able to use for my website, social media, speaking, and more. Best of all, we had so much FUN together (she will make you laugh and feel super at ease) - and I absolutely LOVE my pictures! Thank you Caroline!! read more

Horrible experience with this photographer. She was unprofessional and very rude. Would not waste your hard earned money here! Definitely would recommend to go with a more professional and experienced photographer! Do not waste your time or money here! read more

I never had a photoshoot before and just reaching out to her was a huge deal for me. I wasn't sure what I wanted to get out of the shoot and how to still feel like me. I've seen many people portraying personas on their social media and/or websites that are not the person you'll meet if you have the chance to be in the same room. Once she sent out the questionnaires for my inspiration I started getting really excited. Picking up the types of photos, the mood, what I wanted to communicate, it became clear pretty quickly that she got me... and, what's more important from a photographer that's taking your portraits to see you through the lens as who you really are? The session was fun, she came very prepared and made me feel very comfortable all the time. I'm normally pretty shy, so she had to pull out all the tricks under her sleeve to make me feel more comfortable... it worked! We got great shots indoors and outdoors. I have people write to me and comment on how amazing my website photos are, and how they're "me". Thank you Caroline! read more

Caroline is the best photographer for women entrepreneurs and coaches there is, hands down. When you get your photos back you literally won't be able to choose what to put where because they're all so good. Caroline sees you in the way you want your clients to see you, and she captures your beauty, your talent, and your essence completely. A day with Caroline is relaxing and fun -- even if you HATE getting your picture taken -- and truly worth every penny (she's not cheap, but she's worth it!). read more

I've gotten headshots with many photogs over the years and Caroline is by far my favorite. She's fun, professional and most importantly takes great pictures! Some photographers know how to capture the true essence of a person, and some just don't. And there's really no way to find out until you shoot with them and spend the money. I definitely felt like she captured me in our session, and the biggest issue I had was choosing which photo I liked best! read more

Caroline White Photography - Headshot by Caroline White - Session Photography Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Caroline knows the biz, is enthusiastic and fun to shoot with! She took extra time with me to make sure we got the shots I wanted - we even ended up chasing the sun a bit. I really appreciated the extra care! I also greatly appreciated the package she sent ahead of time to help me prepare, and the time on the phone we spent prior to the shoot (especially with helping me to know what clothes to choose - this can be a huge thing for me!). Oh, and I was feeling a little sick the day before the shoot and she even told me to get liquid vitamin D3 to help me feel better. I think it helped! Caroline also spoke with my agent before the shoot and followed up afterward by sending a few of her favorite shots, which really helped me narrow my choices down. She's GREAT!!! read more

I wish I would have gotten the experience you promote. I really liked some of my photos, I really did. I only wish instead of painting the picture of a champagne lifestyle, I would have gotten photos more aligned with my brand. I brought books and mic and things to photograph with my images to promote my podcast. podcast. I only wish my vision would have also been a part of the collaboration. I'm just not use to paying good money for someone else's dream of my brand versus what I know it to be. I'm making the best use of photos that I can as I can't promote alcohol and a champagne lifestyle when it's not who I am. And I'm not use to professional photos showing wood frames and me being told you were over delivering. I really thought this could be the beginning of a long-standing professional collaboration. I was really a bit disappointed. read more

Caroline has a fantastic eye and wonderful energy, making it easy to be in front of her camera. I usually get nervous taking pictures as myself, so we came up with a strong plan, focusing on the characters I wanted to capture, which helped me tremendously. And I got a ton of shots to choose from. Caroline recommended a fantastic makeup artist. The whole process from prep, shoot and post was a great experience for me and I love the resulting headshots I got! I sing opera and act, so it was important for me to get a wide range. Here are a few of the shots I got. read more

OMG Caroline is an AMAZING photographer and just the most beautiful, caring soul. She pours her whole heart into every client and every shoot. I was stressed to the max when I decided to book a shoot...I felt so much pressure to try and make everything was perfect, and felt nervous, anxous and unsure. Luckily, Caroline was reassuring, confident and knew exactly what I needed. She made me feel truly SEEN and HEARD, which was so empowering and healing and magical. If you're an entrepreneur, or have an online brand of any kind, beautiful branded photos are a MUST. Hire Caroline immediately -- you won't regret it! read more

Caroline is awesome! I am not an actress. But, I needed headshots for work. It was one of my only times on the other side of the camera. She made me feel super comfortable and the pics turned out amazing! And she shoots on both coasts! read more

Caroline White is fantastic! I'm new to the headshots game, so when I began researching photographers, I knew I needed someone not only talented, but also able to put me at ease. Thankfully, past Yelp reviews led me to Caroline. Caroline spent time with me on the phone before my shoot, helping me select the best looks and locations. She then spent the entire shoot day focused on our work together, rather than rushing me through to get to another client. We managed to knock out a terrific variety of shots, which communicate perfectly my career intent and brand. I can't wait to use my new headshots, and see how they guide my path in 2013! read more

Caroline White Photography - Photo by Caroline White. Makeup by Mary Freitag. - Session Photography Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Caroline is amazing. I have taken head shots with a number of photographers and Caroline is the cream of the crop. She is an actress herself and understands what the industry is looking for. I chose Caroline because she was the first photographer that made me feel at ease. My head shots from Ms. White consistently get me auditions and compliments. She gives you a great range. The biggest thing I remember about my shoot is how excited Caroline was while taking the pictures. She really gets you into the shoot. *Bonus: She is bicoastal and multi-city available. read more

Not only is Caroline an amazing person, she is an amazing photographer. I think what makes her so special is that she is an actress herself and knows what what kind of results people need in their headshots. She has amazing rates, great ideas gives a variety of looks for the actor. I recommend her to everyone. Stephen Buchanan read more

Let me start by saying that I did get a few use-able headshots from Caroline, so the experience wasn't a total bust. Her prices are affordable... but you get what you pay for. Maybe she was just having an off day when I arrived. At the time of my shoot at least, she could only shoot in natural outdoor light and only shot JPGs (pros shoot in RAW format). If you want someone who knows about studio lighting or shooting indoors, go elsewhere. Also, I've been a working actor for well over 10 years, and Caroline was the first photographer I've worked with that actually made me feel uncomfortable. And, I usually enjoy getting headshots. I arrived around 11 a.m. and it was clear she had just rolled out of bed and was barely awake inside her (really, really) messy L.A. apartment. Unprofessional. We picked out some outfits for me and got to talking, and she basically gave me the third degree about my acting career. It's normal for photogs to ask what you work most in (commercials, theater, TV, etc.) but it's not normal for photogs to aggressively question why you give your agent/manager commission on certain jobs, how in the world you booked a certain job, etc. Who does that? It was weird. Maybe it was just me? So we start shooting, first indoors, then outdoors. The indoor photos came out horribly because of the non-existent lighting. She can't shoot indoors and I don't think she even has lighting equipment. The outdoors photos were better, but... The makeup artist she hired put white eyeliner on my lower waterline (right above my bottom lashes). It's a trick that's supposed to make your eyes sparkle/pop- when you're lit properly. But, I guess she doesn't know about lighting, because in about half of my photos you can clearly see the white eyeliner, and it looks bad/distracting, so they're all totally useless. If you're still with me here, that only left me with about 1/4 of the photos to choose from. And not because I had a weird expression or closed my eyes- because of bad lighting and a makeup flub! I still frequently get emails and texts (yes, texts) from Caroline asking me to participate in contests that she's running- write a review for her and you'll be entered into a free headshot drawing! Vote for her on Backstage and win free headshots! So, I suspect that's why there are so many five-star reviews here. Or again, maybe she was just having an off day. Whatever it was, I won't be going back, and won't think twice about spending a few more bucks on a good headshot photographer next time. read more

Wow! Go to her website and check her out! The colors, the framing, the light! It's like she draws friendly and approachable out of these people's faces, I love it! ;-) (Oops, sorry for all the exclamation marks, but seriously folks...) Normally these photographers shoot one headshot same as another; but Caroline White really gives you something special. So if you're an actor, singer, or need a business picture or headshot (and yes business people you NEED pictures, yeash - it's a brave new world, and in color) I'd have to recommend this photographer. Pictures like this will boost your marketability and viability in booking that next audition for roles & gigs, looking more current in the professional corporate world, acquiring agents & managers, and she's affordable too! I couldn't ask for better Oh, and then there's the neat little thing that she is occasionally in NYC and will broadcast the fact so you can set up shoots there too if needed. Wow! Ok so she's in West Hollywood, Los Angeles. Go, Get shot, Get seen! read more

I've never felt as comfortable during a headshot session as I did with this awesome gal. I'd use her again in a heartbeat. :) read more

Caroline White Photography - Session Photography Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Caroline is friendly, fast, and has a great crew! It was a pleasure to watch someone so experienced and caring, a true professional! She knows how to put the client/model at ease and pull great photos out of their time in studio! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs People Pictures! read more

Caroline did my photos in a half day shoot in Los Angeles, and the quality surpassed ANY I have ever had in my life. I was an actress for many years, and now an entrepreneur, so having bunches of photo shoots is par for the course. No one has come close to the quality of Caroline. She listened to me when I wanted super specific mood and images. Not to mention, she makes the entire day SO FUN and relaxing and makes you feel like a rock star. Her fee is worth it just for that, if you're camera shy. I still use and rotate them, years later. It's an investment that will keep on giving. She also directed me into photos I could use for promo later, that I didn't even know I would need. She understands the business needs of a modern entrepreneur in a social media world that wants to see your day to day lifestyle, and she wants you to look and feel your BEST without being phony. Caroline can actually draw that out of you, if you don't know how to do it yourself. She's awesome. read more

Booking a photo shoot with Caroline had been on my list for awhile. I had admired her photography work, and knew I wanted to work with her. And as soon as I made the decision, the entire process was fun and easy. What I love about Caroline is that she says that she's going to photograph you as who you want to be in 10 years. And as a manifestation coach, I completely resonated with this. No other photographer I've worked with thought to do that. She goes above and beyond any typical photographer, from giving me feedback on my wardrobe, to ideas for the concepts and locations. She even hops on the phone with you before the shoot date. Caroline is amazing at her craft, and she's highly intuitive. She's so great in the moment, knowing exactly how to pull out the best in you, and is so good at understanding natural light. We had extra spontaneous photos she took because she recognized the opportunity in moments and some of those photos are my favorites! I booked a full day shoot with her, and it was well worth the investment. I got TONS of amazing photos in all different locations! My daughter even joined in at the end of the shoot in Central Park by the castle. If you're a woman entrepreneur or CEO who is looking to invest in the right photographer, look no further than Caroline. I've used her work as my author photo in my book that's out with Simon & Schuster. It's been used as press and on every sales page I've put out since (and that was 2 years ago!) I still have photos that I'm releasing and using on social media. That's how many good shots we got. I recommend her to all of my private & mastermind clients. She's the real deal and oh-so-worth it. Seriously, if you've been thinking about booking with Caroline, just do it. I really have become the person she photographed 2 years ago. My business was already successful, but I've doubled my income every year since and even spoke at TED. She asked me who I wanted to attract in my business, and photographed me as the woman I was becoming. I was able to embody her, and manifest even more success as a result of our shoot. Caroline knocked it out of the park. I adore her! read more

Caroline has a knack for making you look good without making you look fake or overly done. She manages to capture your essence and the idiosyncrasies that make you an individual and more bookable. My new headshots (one of which is my profile photo on here) have lead to great auditions and great bookings that I never could have had with any of my headshots before the ones by her. And she's fun, kind, and professional to boot! She just gets it. read more

A seriously talented photographer! Highly recommended!

Caroline is great! Professional, affordable and fun to be with on the shoot! She'll bring out the best in you for great, usable headshots!! She has some really unique, fun spots for amazing back-ground-age!! 2 thumbs up!! read more

Let me just say, Caroline is by far the best photographer I have used for headshots. Best rates, best locales, best experience, best environment and comfortable atmosphere. I am still able to use my headshots 3 years after I had my session because they are so all encompassing of different looks. By the way, just booked The Young and the Restless two weeks ago. And Dark Blue 9 months ago. SAME HEADSHOT SESSION (two different pics). I LOVE CAROLINE! And I will be back to see her for my next round of headshots. That is, if I need them. Don't regret your choice of photographer. Trust Caroline. She will do you a solid! And be prepared to laugh throughout your session. She's a true comedianne. read more

Caroline was terrific to work with. She makes you feel completely comfortable so you can get your best shots. Plus, she's an actress so she's great at helping you figure out how to market yourself. I highly recommend her for your head shots! read more

I know everyone here is all about head shots, but I want to jump in and say how great Caroline is at pet photography. We had a kitten photoshoot recently, and her pictures were absolutely THE BEST. Turns out she not only captures people's individualism and personalities in photographs, but animals as well. Great job! When the time comes for me to get my own headshots, I know where I'm going. Her work is amazing, and she's super nice, to boot. read more

I had a great experience with Caroline! She took amazing pictures and made me feel extremely comfortable. I would definitely recommend her!

Caroline is absolutely AMAZING! She is so talented at bringing out your best self. She made me feel comfortable instantly and we had so much fun! She is seriously talented. Her ideas are amazing. And she really pours her heart and soul into the shoot until you're happy. And I was really happy with the results. I have shots that I didn't even think I would use but now have come in handy. I highly highly recommend Caroline, she is not only an extraordinary photographer but she is an awesome person in general! Thank you Caroline for bringing out the best in me! read more

I was super nervous about getting my headshots done because it had been 5 years since my last one-- I wanted them to look perfect! Caroline was super friendly from the moment I arrived and that made me already feel at ease. Her wit makes you laugh and her smile and joy of taking your pictures makes you feel super confident and comfortable. I'm so glad my friend referred me to her-- I've had a lot of great comments on my new headshots! read more

Wow, Caroline is AMAZING. I haven't even gotten headshots from her yet and I can already say she's the most genuine photographer I've ever had the pleasure to talk with. I made just a simple phone call 5 minutes ago and it was the most helpful call I've ever had in my life. As an aspiring actress, I'm picky with photographers and I had a major concern regarding my photo when I called. Caroline knows exactly what she's talking about. She gave me excellent tips and what's great is that she didn't rush me into scheduling for the headshots. 1,000/10 would recommend her to fellow actors and everyone else. read more

Caroline did photos and videos for an online fundraiser I did for a little girl with cancer. Not only were the photos and video amazing but she also offered and then helped to raise a massive amount of money for the cause. She has an amazing sense for light and a caring and enthusiastic nature which put me, the subject, at ease when I was in a very stressful state. I hate having photos taken of myself but I absolutely love looking at the photos Caroline took of me. A brilliant photographer and a gem of a human being! read more

CAROLINE WHITE is a hell of a photographer! Why go anywhere else when she can save you many yrs of expensive frustrating trial and error w/ other photographers!!! I've gotten so many auditions with her headshots. CAROLINE only shoots 1 person/day and goes beyond the call of duty so you never feel rushed. THANK YOU CAROLINE! read more

Hands down amazing! Caroline brings fun and creativity into her shoots. I've been using the photos that she took on one of her business mastermind photo branding retreats for over a year now. She just gets it. If you're looking to get it right the first time with your branding shots book Caroline NOW! She's an investment that's worth it and more. I love her! read more

Sorry, but I had a bad experience and can't recommend. A shame. From other reviews, looks like she can be a great photog/person when she wants to be, but for me the experience was rushed and tense. Followed her own agenda. Definitely didn't run like she described in her materials. Don't know what was up with that. read more

The absolute worst headshot experience I have ever had. If I cold do zero stars, I would have. I am so curious about others. I found Caroline beyond unprofessional. She did not do anything for me ahead of time that she promises on her website (ie - calling my agent to see what they want/need), and she ended up grossly overcharging based on what I expressed my needs were. When I approached her about my concerns on both fronts, she became defensive in a crazy way, and was NOT approachable. For lack of a better word, she slimy. I know that there were other negative reviews of her on yelp, but they have mysteriously disappeared. I wish I could tell every actor not to use her with so many better choices out there....awful. read more
