Molly is amazing! She's a true professional. The photoshoot experience was friendly and comfortable; that's something that you can really see in the photos. She gives you true bang for your buck -- a full CD with hi-res photos, a good handful of edits, and open communication before AND after the shoot. She also offers a community service deal -- do some community service and you can get the same top-notch headshots for SUPER cheap! I can't recommend her enough. read more

Molly's headshots of me were the first that I felt captured who I was and made me look GOOD. And they got me an agent! She's super friendly and HILARIOUS - an utter blast to shoot with. Her locations are really colorful and made me pop. She's also really affordable. I can't recommend her enough!! read more

Shooting headshots with Molly was just plain fun, and they turned out fantastic. She really put me at ease, and I got a great set of relaxed shots that captured me. Agents and casting directors agreed: no exaggeration, I put my new headshots on L.A. Casting and had a commercial agent within a week. Pretty awesome! Her prices are actor friendly, she's actor friendly, and you'll have a fun shoot and get great pics out of it. Highly recommended. read more

Molly is the best. I had a bunch of special requests from my new commercial agents (I just moved here from NY and the agents wanted me to go with their photographer who takes an unlimited amount of "looks", uses props, etc.) but I was feeling Molly instead. Molly worked with me to give my agents what they needed and still achieve the important (more important?) task of shooting pics I felt represented the REAL ME. In the past I've gotten headshots that made me look like a model - much to everyone's disappointment when I show up in the flesh. I also didn't want to look bad in my pictures, obviously. Molly chilled me out, made me feel very comfortable and took some fabulous shots. So many. She's extremely warm and we laughed through the whole shoot, too. I booked a national commercial a month later. YAY. Have fun, relax, and know you're in very good hands if you work with Molly. read more

Molly is also very amazing at retouching. I've loved everything that she has sent back to me. The shots really don't need much anyway because the shots look great as they are. I have to say...GO TO HER. She's great. I recommend her to all my actor friends. read more

Hawkey Photos - Hawkey Photo 2012 - Session Photography Near Me

Molly has taken both sets of my headshots and I will be back for more when the time comes! She is REALLY good at what she does, and she's so fun to be around that it makes an otherwise nerve-wrecking experience really easy. She does beautiful work in natural light, and I have received many compliments on my headshots because of her. Also, poor actors listen up: HER PRICES ARE MORE THAN FAIR. Seriously. Compare the quality and price against some other photogs and you will see that she's the obvious choice! read more

Molly was great! She was laid back but professional. She had a lot of cool locations to shoot at, and it didn't take very long at all. And somehow she was able to get some great pictures of my otherwise hideous face! If you're in doubt, take it from this complete stranger on the internet. GO WITH HAWKEY PHOTOS read more

Molly made me feel right at home, which brought out the very best in me. She provided a comfortable atmosphere and loads of laughs. But most importantly, she delivered like a pro. read more

I was fortunate enough to have Molly recommended to me right off the bat by my brother and a friend. After hearing from them, reading through her website and looking through her online portfolio, I was pretty much decided! But I did have MANY questions, as these would be my first headshots! Thankfully, Molly was extremely helpful and friendly answering all my questions prior to, during and after the shoot! The day of the shoot was very chill and enjoyable. Molly has a way of bringing out your best side(s) through laughter and conversation while yielding professional, quality shots. Before I knew it, we had recapped nearly every season of Game of Thrones...don't worry, no spoilers...and our session was coming to an end. I love the shots she got! Great composition, color and style! I finally picked my favorites out of all the available options and just put them up today. I'm beyond happy with the results and would absolutely recommend Molly to anyone looking for eye-catching headshots that truly capture your personality! Thanks again Molly! read more

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with my head shots. Molly has photographed me twice and I recommend her to everyone I meet. She makes the experience very fun, her prices are very reasonable and makes you look like a million dollars!! You can't go wrong with her. read more

Hawkey Photos - Robert O'Mara (Blood Relatives) - Session Photography Near Me

The task of a getting a good head shot along with finding a great photographer in Los Angeles area is so daunting. For most of us aspiring artists there are some key factors depending on your needs: - Affordability is key - Someone who can relate to what you need - Someone who makes you feel comfortable in front of camera - Someone who can capture the real you in the best light. - Accepted by your agent - The photos should help you get into an agency - Or more importantly will help you get an audition and bookings Luckily, I had the opportunity to work with Molly Hawkey who was recommended to me by my agent back when I lived in LA. I made sure to discuss with Molly ahead of time what I needed and planned accordingly for a date that worked for both of us. She suggested a great makeup artist within my budget and even offered wardrobe options. The day of shoot I had a blast and she really made it super easy for me to work with her so that she can capture all the great, fun emotions on camera. She has a very simple, creative eye for what a head shot should look like. Making me look like the real, charismatic person I wanted to represent. I loved her easy going demeanor and choices for natural lighting and backgrounds that really make you stand out. She made me feel fun, classy, flirty, and professional with every snap she took. I've used all her head shots which have always done the job of bringing me in for an audition and ultimately booking some really fun gigs. I highly recommend her if your'e just starting out and also for your future updated photo shoots. Some additional tips for photo shoots: - Less is more - Always discuss the looks you're going for - Don't bring to much to the shoot, narrow down to a few key pieces - I can't stress enough a GOOD NIGHTS sleep and lots of water a few days before shoot - Bring snacks and water to stabilize you through the shoot - LAUGH and have Molly tell you some jokes! ;) read more

Molly took the picture which has become the image for all of my professional social media and employment needs. I'm not an actor, and I've never had professional head shots taken before; needless to say I was very pleased with the results! read more

had to get a shoot with my girl Moll Hawkey, could not stop laughing, photos have been great for commercials. Thank You!!

Even though we weren't able to book with Molly for our wedding this coming November - I was really impressed with her just from our brief email interaction. She was very quick to reply and gave me a really good, easy to understand breakdown of her costs and wedding package. She was a bit outside our very very small budget but she was so sweet to refer us to another photographer she knew who might fit. I really appreciated it. Thanks Molly and good luck this wedding season! read more

I had a great experience working with Molly and my pictures turned out incredible! I'm really happy with them and holy crap does my agent love them. It was a super fun, low stress shoot and she went above and beyond making me feel comfortable, helping me pick out outfits, and just generally being hilarious and easy to work with. And it shows in the results. Also, she does a great deal for improvisers! I can't wait for Molly to take my next headshots (if my agent will ever let me stop using my current ones). read more

Molly did my headshots a few years ago and I still get compliments on them. She's great to work with, totally affordable and most importantly you get great results. I would be scheduling a new session with her soon if I hadn't moved to NYC. read more

Molly is an amazing photographer. I was lucky enough to snag a session from her and I couldn't believe how much fun I had! I HATE getting my picture taken, and it usually comes across in my typical sessions. She caught my authentic smile more times than I can count. I left feeling like I just had a fun hang with a friend, only I got some beautiful headshots out of it. My agent LOVED them and since uploading to the casting websites there has been a noticeable increase in the number of times I get called in. GO SEE HER! You won't regret it. read more

I am not an actor and am not partial to being photographed. She was funny, relaxed, and nice, and took time to fulfill my needs to get me comfortable with the shoot. AND the photos turned out great!! Thanks Molly! read more

Mollie took my sister's wedding photographs. I was the maid of honor and thank god this was one thing I DIDN'T have to stress about. In short, THE PICTURES WERE AMAZING. She is truly an artist. She was so unobtrusive and professional. She had to deal with my huge, crazy family, and she did so perfectly. I would very high recommend Mollie!! PS - I am absolutely not a model or actress but she made me look like one in her photographs! read more

It was a great experience shooting headshots with Molly Hawkey. She made me feel nice and relaxed and kept me laughing so I would have a natural smile during my session.

Also, the rates are good, and like I said before, she is super friendly and makes you feel like you've been friends forever and automatically comfortable and at ease. Go for it! read more

I love my headshots so much! I've shot with about half a dozen photographers and the experience is always nerve wracking and I'm never satisfied with my photos.

That was the most fun I've ever had in a headshot session. In addition to being a great photographer, Molly is a blast to be around, so my pictures came out great.

Molly is amazing! The perfect combination of professional and fun. She made me feel relaxed immediately and took the best headshots. She got aspects of my personality that no photographer had ever done before and I really felt like she captured my true self on film. She also went the extra mile to swap out a background on one of my photos. She is the best! Highly recommend her and will return to her when I need more pics. read more

Molly is the most wonderful, brilliant, warm, and delightful photographer I have EVER worked with. SHE'S THE BEST! I absolutely hate taking pictures, but Molly made the process better than I could have ever expected. It didn't even feel like I was taking pictures, I just felt like I was hanging out and laughing and chatting with a friend all afternoon. At the end of the session, I was worried that we didn't get anything cause I didn't feel like I ever "posed" or "smiled for the camera," I just felt like I'd hung out the whole session. BUT THE PICS WERE AMAZING. They showed ME. They showed my personality. No, I didn't have any pics of me "posing" or "smiling for the camera" because THESE SHOTS WERE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT NONSENSE. I don't have enough time or room to gush about how much I love Molly and her style and her personality and her immense talent. Just go book with her. Seriously. Best headshots ever.
