He has a natural talent to make you feel comfortable in front of the lens and takes the time to find the perfect backdrop for your wardrobe. The pictures were sent to me before I even arrived home! His edits are very natural and are perfect for auditions or just having a nice photo of yourself. Highly recommend Johnny for any occasions that need photography!

Johnny La is the kindest photographer you'll meet. Hands down…read more I was fortunate to have met Johnny at a Networking mixer at USC. I got his business card from and knew right away that I wanted to work with him. I contacted Johnny not long after for new actor's headshots. Even before the day of the shoot, he was always more than willing to answer the million and one questions I had for him. I sent him photos of potential outfits and he gave me feedback and provided me all the details & information I needed prior to the shoot. I get pretty nervous in front of the camera, but on the day of the shoot, Johnny's friendly nature and silly methods to calm me down were quite helpful! Right away, he makes you feel as if you're old friends. I dread awkwardness, but I felt comfortable through the entire process. Additionally, he is more than willing to take as many shots needed until you're satisfied with your look. After the shoot was over, he sent me all the files of my photos the same day so I could choose which looks I wanted him to edit. In just a matter of days after I had chosen which photos I wanted, Johnny send me over the final, edited photos, and they look great! TL;DR: Looking for a photographer to take your headshots? Contact Johnny La ASAP!

I always have a hard time liking my headshots at first. I guess it's the Dorian Gray complex ;) But these have gotten me great feedback! They'll catch the agent's eye because unlike many soft-focus generic headshots you see out there, his style is real and classic and has gravitas. Bravo and thanks Robert!

HOT DIGGITY DOG!! I LOVE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER!! For a short review skip to below :-) **** Chadney is…read moreawesome! I felt TOTALLY safe and comfortable shooting with him! He and his wife were so nice! She did the online scheduling with me and was very pleasant and professional without seeming stuffy! He was able to get just the right light and color in the headshots! I had the amazon local deal special from a while ago and finally used it! But his regular prices are more than fair because of all you can get out of the 2 hour session! I totally recommend him. He knows just how to have you stand I can tell in my shots from beginning to middle to end what a difference his great instructions make! Ok A quick review and client pointers- (Most of these he tells you before the session but I cannot emphisze it enough as well! 1. When he says bring a flash drive with a ton of memory HE MEANS IT!! I left with probably close to 1,400 photos NO LIE!! I did 7 OUTFIT CHANGES AND HE TOOK AROUND 20-24 PICTURES EACH LOOK!! 2. COME PREPARED- Have your clothes all Ironed and on hangers (this will save time and you can get more changes in your session) 3. Get there at least 10-15 min early- the parking is hit or miss and the metered parking in front is just for an hour. get there early pay like 10-15 min on the meter park in front bring in your things then move your car to avoid lugging your things down the street far if you have to park far. 4. If you are someone who naturally locks your knees when standing and Chadney asks you to unlock your knees, lean in bring your face forward chin down (which he had to tell m,e like 800 times (thanks for your patience Chad) ) If you find your knees will not stop locking USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE! just this think Micheal Jackson's Smooth Criminal Sounds odd... but after a while I had to tell my self to do that lean and IT WORKED!!! Seriously listen to his instructions on posing- its funny in my 1st 10 pictures I look like I am dressed up and took a happy cute mug shot! But when I listened to his advice the shots were %100 better! 5. If wearing eye makeup get an eye makeup remover pencil!!! I do not wear make up often so I think my eyes are not used to stuff on them. After awhile MY EYES WATERED and the eyeliner did that semi-smear thing that makes your eye look a little black. the makeup pencil REMOVER tagts just those spots so you can touch up between shots without haing to take aaaal the eye makeup off (E.L.F. at target sells them for like 3 or 6 bucks!!) 6. This is so easy to do once you meet him! Trust Chadney! He KNOWS what he is doing and you can tell he genuinely cares! **** Chadney Cooles definitely has a love and pride for what he does. He makes the session go by so quickly and yet it does not feel rushed at all! Once he has the shot HE HAS IT! The environment is clean, safe and comfortable!! I will definitely recommend him and hope to work with him in the future!!

We got some really great shots, and I am so excited to update my professional accounts with these wonderful pictures! The fact that Chadney prefers to shoot in natural light makes a world of difference and it made me feel more comfortable, as opposed to having those huge umbrella things and glaring bulbs in your face. Because I felt comfortable with Chadney and Dina, it really showed through in my photos. I also LOVE the fact that I got to take them home at the end of the shoot =) Thanks, you two!

I first met Michael Desmond on a film as our set photographer. I have been a fan of his work ever…read moresince. When I saw that he was teaching a Nude Photography Workshop in Joshua Tree, I jumped at the chance to learn and work with him. I was blown away by the quality and quantity of knowledge and images I walked away with. It's a wonderful thing to have a mentor and with Michael I got just that. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Our Joshua Tree workshop consisted of photographers from all levels of knowledge and skill. I was the only non-professional in the workshop, but I felt at complete ease working alongside Michael and the big kids. Michael is fun, passionate and his joy is infectious. It was a blast. I cannot recommend his workshop enough. A new confidence and passion within me has been born. There is no greater gift than that.

Michael Desmond is the best professional I have had the opportunity to work with…read more After photographing with him I realized what people meant by INVESTING in your material, as oppose to spending. He is talented, experienced and the most important thing, he has a way of making you feel comfortable, confident and beautiful without ever using any of those words. How is it possible? I don't know. But it is very important when you are in front of the lenses, especially for headshots that you have to look like yourself. God only knows how trapped it feels to have to smile spontaneously, relaxed, confident and distinct at the same time. All this mental pressure can set you up for either awful pictures, or an OK result that you do look like your, but it doesn't quite market you. That is when I realized that all the times I thought I was saving up on my photos by getting a friend/photographer to help me out were just a waste of time. Here in this town the competition is literally in every corner and if you can't stand out, no matter how talented you are if you can't make through the door to show it to them. He is ridiculously underpriced for the quality of his work, by the way. There are photographers out here in Hollywood charging twice as much and I couldn't be happier with the results I do recommend him anytime, with no doubt. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

She also offers creative ideas and fun conversation while you shoot, making it comfortable. One of the best things about working with this photographer is her willingness to scout interesting locations. We drove all the way out to Malibu for a shoot and stayed until we got the perfect shot. All and all, I would say that her skills are on point and her pricing is competitive for the area. Cannot wait to book her again!

She's your girl :)

Planning a wedding from thousands of miles away and not getting to meet any of the vendors before…read morewas a bit unnerving. And needless to say more than a few things went wrong (site manager of our venue locking us out of the speaker system and leaving us with no music - then making a bridesmaid cry and proceed to shushing my guests and trying to kick us out at 9:45?? Ya it happened). One aspect where everything went right, however, was with our photographer. I cannot say enough positive things about Nataliya - every aspect of her involvement in our wedding went above and beyond my expectations. She is helpful, easy to work with, is somehow everywhere and capturing every moment and you don't even see her! I was just as impressed with the finished result, anybody can snap a photo but she has this unique style that was exactly what I wanted, artistic, in the moment, gorgeous shots we will treasure forever. In fact my husband and I joked that the wedding itself was such a whirlwind, we didn't even get to see or enjoy all the little details of our day until we saw the photos. I am so glad I took the advice of all the wedding blogs I read and hired a professional (my brother was married last year, had a friend do it, and is still waiting for pics - we had a sneak peek at our photos sent to us within a week). Another thing that really impressed me was how she really listened to us, how important our family and friends were, and captured an amazing shot of literally EVERY guest. Made me want to cry. Nataliya is definitely a rising star, I recommend getting to her before she's booked solid for eternity.
